SCROLL LIST
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Syntax
SCROLL LIST [horizontal]
[vertical]
[INDEX idx].
Addition
Effect
This statement scrolls the display area of a list stored in the list buffer to the position specified
in horizontal
and/or
vertical
. At least
one of these additions must be specified, in which all horizontal specifications refer to the columns of a displayed list. The corresponding section is displayed when the list is next displayed.
Without using the statement SCROLL
, the system displays a list during the
initial display, starting from the first column of the first row. If the user navigates from a details
list back to a lower list level, the list is displayed with the section in which it was last displayed.
The SCROLL
statement sets a new first column, a new first row, or both. Each
SCROLL
statement sets only the size specified in it, without changing the other positions.
Addition
... INDEX idx
Effect
The list level can be specified with the addition INDEX
, where a data object
(which contains the list index) of type i
is expected for idx
.
The value of idx
must be greater than or equal to 0. If the addition
INDEX is not specified, then the list level 0 (the basic list itself) is selected during the creation of the basic list, and the list level at which the event was triggered
(sy-listi
) is selected during the processing of a list event. If the list level specified in idx
is not available,
sy-subrc
is set to the value 8.
System Fields
sy-subrc | Meaning |
---|---|
0 | Screen section was scrolled. |
4 | Complete scrolling not possible because the list margin was reached. |
8 | Scrolling not possible because the specified list level does not exist. |
Note
While scrolling through the list that is being created
(sy-lsind
), remember that a SCROLL
statement has no effect prior to the first output statement, since the list does not yet exist in the list buffer.
Example
By double-clicking the basic list, you can scroll down this list in the AT LINE-SELECTION
event block to the page entered in a
selection screen. The lines on the page retain their original position with reference to the
page header by using
sy-staro. However, you do not need to explicitly set the column to sy-staco
, since this position is retained during vertical scrolling.
