Hi Rahul,

is it a new screen?

You can influence the screen by the GUI status. Create a GUI status of type 'dialog box'. Call the screen, and in the PBO of the screen write 'SET PF-STATUS <gui_status>'.

hope it helps,

Hi,

You must declare global variables in your program with the same name as the elements you created on the screen.

For pop windows define a screen and call it

call screen starting at <col_no> <lin_no>

ending at <col_no> <lin_no>

this will create a pop window ..

You can set the screen type as 'MODAL DIALOG BOX'.

If you activate this attribute, the screen is used as a modal dialog box. In the program, you call the screen with

CALL SCREEN STARTING AT <top left>

ENDING AT <bottom right>.

Unlike normal pop-ups, a modal dialog box has its own pushbuttons and title. There is no menu bar and command field entries are not possible.
