Information message

[Former Member]

When I start my program I will show an information message about what the program does. Where in my program should I write this message and how?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Depends on where you want to show

Before showing the SELECTION SCREEN - Initialization

After user enters the PARAMETERS - START-of-SELECTION.

Actually you can write in multiple places.

Hi Linn,

you may have a good reason for wanting to do this but in my experience 'popups' like this just get ignored and become another mouse-click to the user.

Why not put your info on the selection screen as a comment?

eg, SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 10(20) TEXT-001.

You can put several lines worth of text. I think this will become wallpaper to regular uses too but at least they won't have to hit enter to ignore it.

Hi,

Write it in START-OF-SELECTION event...

MESSAGE I100(ZMSG).

I-->information message

100-->message no

ZMSG-->message class

Hi Linn,

You should rather provide a program documentation.

Goto SE38, click on documentation adn then change button, and provide details of ur program.

Upon activation of this, when u run ur program, on the selection screen, there will be a button like "i" which stands for the informatino/documentation.

This i feel is the best place to do it, and a standard way of doing it too.

Hi,

You can use POP up or Aplash screen in the start with the help of function modules.

You can use fm <b>SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR</b>. At every stage of program you can call this fm and give appropriate messages which will be displayed while the program is running.

IN Start of selection you can give the Message.
