Hello,

What are Standard Texts?

Where we use Chain and End chain?

How to pass the variables to forms?

standard text :

to display any STATIC text to the user we store that text as a STANDARD text. we can create it using S010 transaction.

advantages : we can do the translation to different languages.

passing variables to FORMS:

option 1:

data : v_matnr type mara-matnr.

perform get_data using v_matnr.

and its associated FORM definition is,

FORM GET_DATA USING P_MATNR.

*--YOUR logic here

ENDFORM.

OPTION 2

If you want to get some values from the FORM,

use CHANGING.

DATA : V_TEXT TYPE MAKT-MAKTX.

perform get_data using v_matnr

CHANGING V_TEXT

and its associated FORM definition is,

FORM GET_DATA USING P_MATNR

CHANGING P_TEXT.

*--YOUR logic here

P_TEXT = 'YOUR NEW VALUES'.

ENDFORM.

Standard text are used in the scripts,

To maintain them, use the standard text editor (transaction SO10).

Chain and endchain are used in the screens. For example there are 5 fields in the screen and u like to error message for those fields. In the PAI use the chain. endchain. This will make other fields in input enabled mode.

CHAIN.

FIELD chk_connobj.

FIELD chk_inst.

FIELD chk_devloc.

FIELD addr1_data-street.

FIELD addr1_data-city1.

FIELD addr1_data-country.

FIELD addr1_data-post_code1.

FIELD /qas/scr_search.

FIELD /qas/scr_iso.

IF chk_connobj EQ c_x.

IF addr1_data-street IS INITIAL.

CONCATENATE text-024 text-026 text-025 INTO lws_text
