Solved: Error Message, user exits, and editing disabled pr...

Former Member · ‎01-09-2006

HEllo I recently had an assignment where I have to create a user exit with an error message. I had no problems with the error message but after an error occurs, with this line:

MESSAGE ID 'ZSD' TYPE 'W' NUMBER '002'.

the fields have become disabled and there seems to be no way to enable the fields for changing. Is there a way to fix this. Thanks people and take care!

Oh, TYPE E, when issuing an error message, all fields are disabled unless you tie it to a field or group of fields. This is commonly done by using the CHAIN...ENDCHAIN statements in the PAI of the screen. Do you have access to this? I assume that you are issueing the message from within a MODULE, right? You are probably calling this module in the PAI flow logic of the screen. You will need to do something like this.

Here P_BUKRS is the screen field and CHECK_BUKRS is the module where you are checking the value and issuing the error message. Using the CHAIN, you can tie other fields to the check so that they are also enabled when the error message is issued.

CHAIN.

field p_bukrs module check_bukrs.

ENDCHAIN.

sorry i mean the line is

MESSAGE ID 'ZSD' TYPE 'E' NUMBER '002'.

This is a warning message and you need to "Enter" thru it. Once you hit enter after the message is displayed, do your fields become enabled again?

Im issueing the message in a user exit (im assuming imbedded in a module). Unfortunatley I dont have access to the main abap program since its a sap standard one.

Then I'm not sure how you are going to handle it. Maybe issuing a message type 'I' would help you out. This could stop the processing and the user may be able to change the data on the screen to satisfy the condition. Give it a try.
