Calling Selection Screens

Selection screens can be called as follows:

Each call starts selection screen processing. The display language of the selection screen is determined by the current text environment language, which can be set with the statement SET LOCALE LANGUAGE.

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54

Called by SUBMIT

When an executable program is called using the statement SUBMIT, the standard selection screen or the selection screen specified in the statement is called between the events INITIALIZATION and START-OF-SELECTION, if it contains at least one input field or pushbutton.

Called by report transaction

When a report transaction is executed, the associated executable program is also started internally using SUBMIT and the selection screen defined for the transaction is called between the events INITIALIZATION and START-OF-SELECTION.

Called by dialog transaction

If a selection screen of the associated program is defined as the initial dynpro in a dialog transaction, the transaction code is used to call the selection screen when this program is executed. This screen is not handled like the first dynpro in a dynpro sequence however (see Selection Screen Processing).


Notes

  • You should not use a selection screen as the initial screen of a dialog transaction, since this does not generally produce the expected program behavior.
