Screen Painter - Display with no active entries

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus

I am teaching myself some ABAP Screen design and am working through an exercise.

I have one issue with the display which is that it displays with active records already like below

I want it to display like this, so that the user is forced to use the Insert button

I'm not sure if there is a configuration setting in the Layout for this or if it is something I need to code in the PBO.

Many Thanks in advance for your assistance

Regards

Thanks Umayaraj.

Field is still used for output and when I insert records I need the users to select from a Drop Down box

[umayaraj]

is your problem solved ? 😉

[Former Member]

No.

Your proposed solution did not work

Thanks

[umayaraj]

do you want like this input

[Former Member]

The drop downs are working 100% as expected.

But I do not want Input lines visible until the user clicks on Insert

In the PBO, LOOP AT TABLE CONTROL, deactivate fields (LOOP AT/MODIFY SCREEN) as long user didn't press insert (e.g. empty internal table, SCREEN-ACTIVE = '0' if no record)

Thanks Raymond

Code Sample for solution was:

if g_data_copied <> 'X'. " If not the first display of the screen
loop at screen.
if screen-name+0(8) <> 'POSITION'. "This Ensures Action Buttons are still active (Insert / Delete, etc)
screen-input = '0'.
modify screen.
endif.
endloop.
endif.
