SAP LDB creation

[itabhishek9]

Hi SDNites,

I have requirement to create a custom selection screen like FBL3N and I understand this can be created via using LDB only. Please confirm.

In my scenario, I have to create a custom LDB as it is based on all custom tables and then use the same in the program . I have created a custom LDB and assigned it to the programs (Attributes) but it is not working. Can you please share some step by step process to create custom LDB and use it in custom program.

Regards,

Abhi

1. Create the structure based on a root node.
2. Associate it with a search help.
3. Generate and edit the selection include.
4. Generate and edit the database program.
5. Edit further elements.

Thanks Horst for the response.

As per my understanding LDB is not recommended to use. Also the link that you have shared says the same.

If the above is true, is there any way we can get dynamic screenselection the way we obtain in FBL3N (I know we can have multiple radiobuttons with dynamic screen display based on selection but this is not what I want).

If you want to reuse selection screens from other programs, you can use SELECTION-SCREEN INCLUDE. For dynamic inclusions, subscreens in tabbed blocks might serve. Last but not least, LOOP AT SCREEN, MODIFY SCREEN. Maybe a combination of all ...
