BACK button is usually used to go back to the previous screen, the EXIT button usually exits the entire program, and the CANCEL button really depends on the transaction, but a lot of times, it has the same effect as EXIT button.

But in reality, it all depends on how the buttons are defined in the gui status and what the code is doing which is handling the fcodes.

Hi,

The standard tool bar is used to navigate SAP/Custom functions.

Back Button - Similar to the back button on an internet provided such as explorer directs you to the previous screen/page you are visited. The command does not save work once chosen.

Exit Button - Exits out of the screen you are in without saving and brings the user back to the main menu.

Cancel Button- Exit what the user is working on without saving.

Hi,

BACK - It is used to move back to previous screen from current screen.

Cancel - It is used to cancel the current functionality of screen and move back to the program flow.

EXIT - It is used to exit all the functionality of screens or program and come back to scratch.It is generally used for testing multiple loops functionality.

Pls reward points.

hi Bhaskar ,

The functionalities of BACK , EXIT and CANCEL completely depends on the way they are set in the pf-status .And the major thing to notice is the FUNCTION TYPE they are assigned when are are created .

Gnerally the function type for EXIT and CANCEL are Type 'E', which is nothing but the exit - function so that they completely leave the program and come out of that program ( reach the SAP Ease Access screen ).

And for BACK, it depends on what has been set in the function type , if its an system /application function , then may be you can code here for the next screen ( which has to appear after clicking BACK ) what should appear .

Hope these explanations are clearer to you .
