Description

The table control flights is defined and can be resized. The fields of the table control are copied from the DEMO_CONN structure in the dictionary. The first two columns are lead columns. The corresponding fields are output fields. A title bar, columns headers, and a selection column are created. The selection column is assigned to the component MARK, of the type CHAR, length 1, from the structure DEMO_CONN. One column and one or more rows can be selected.

In the flow logic of dynpro 100, one loop is executed at PBO time and another loop is executed at PAI time using the table control flights and the internal table itab of the ABAP program at the same time. In the PBO loop, no module is called to fill the table control from the table itab of the ABAP program. However, during the PAI loop, a module is called to modify table itab.

At PBO, the component lines of the control structure flights is filled explicitly with the current number of rows in internal table itab to configure the scroll bar of the table control before the PBO loop.

In the PAI loop, the rows of the internal table with row indexes that match the current table control rows are overwritten by the content of the work area demo_conn. User input is passed from the input fields of the control to the internal table. A flag is set in the column MARK of the internal table indicating whether the table control row is selected or not.

After the PAI loop, the user input is processed in the module user_command_0100. The GUI status SCREEN_100 enables the corresponding function codes.

When the program is called not all of the fields in the table control are ready for input. The static specifications of the table control in the Screen Painter are modified before CALL SCREEN in the program. The system uses the table cols in control structure flights. All columns with a column position greater than two are set to not ready for input using a loop across the table flights-cols. By selecting the function code TOGGLE, the input readiness of these fields can be switched on and off.

Using the function codes "SORT_UP" and "SORT_DOWN", it is possible to sort the columns of the internal table itab in either ascending or descending order. The static settings of the table control allow only a single column to be selected. The selected column is removed from the internal table flights-cols. The name of the sort criterion in the SORT statement is determined dynamically from the component cols-screen-name. The prefix demo_conn must be removed by specifying an offset. After the sort, the selection is canceled and the component selected in the table flights-cols is assigned a blank character.

Using the function code "DELETE", it is possible to delete selected rows from the internal table itab. First the system checks in flights-cols whether the fields of the table control are ready for input. Then all selected rows are deleted in a loop using the internal table itab. Since the table control is filled completely from the internal table itab during the PBO loop, the rows are also deleted on the screen.
