SELECTION-SCREEN INCLUDE BLOCKS
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Syntax
SELECTION-SCREEN INCLUDE BLOCKS block [ID id].
Effect
The BLOCKS addition creates a block block on the current
selection screen.
block expects a block that must have already been created on a previous selection
screen by a SELECTION-SCREEN
BEGIN OF BLOCK or SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF [TABBED] BLOCK statement.
The new block has exactly the same structure as the original block and contains the same screen elements.
The properties of all the parameters, selection criteria, output fields, and pushbuttons in the new
block are copied from the corresponding elements in the original block as if they were copied individually with a SELECTION-SCREEN INCLUDE statement.
If a block is copied within a block with a frame, the width of the original block is adjusted to fit the area within the frame. The original block cannot contain any elements outside this area.
The ID addition can only be used in a selection include for a
logical database.
Note
The INCLUDE addition in this variant ensures that once a block structure
has been defined, the structure and the corresponding global variables can be used by multiple selection screens at the same time.
Example
Reuses a block from the standard selection screen of an executable program in a separate selection screen with the number 500.
SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF BLOCK block,
COMMENT /1(40) text,
ULINE.
PARAMETERS: p1(10) TYPE c,
p2(10) TYPE c,
p3(10) TYPE c.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK block.
SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF SCREEN 500 AS WINDOW,
INCLUDE BLOCKS block,
END OF SCREEN 500.
INITIALIZATION.
text = 'Standard Selection'.
START-OF-SELECTION.
...
CALL SELECTION-SCREEN '0500' STARTING AT 10 10.
