Flow text within selection sceen

[Former Member]

Hey, Folks.

Is there a chance to have an input field with more lines on a selection screen? Like an input text box on va01-> head-> texts?

Let's say, users can type in a text which is printed on a form.

thank you for any ideas.

Use class 'CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT'.

Check the program 'DEMO_CUSTOM_CONTROL'

Does this work on Selection Screens, too?

It will work in Module Pool programs. You can upload data from this textbox in the PAI module

You need to use class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT or if you are working on ECC6 (Netweaver7) then please check demo program RSMDS_DEMO.

Pl. follow the steps:

Step 1 - Create a sub-screen using screen painter in the repot program.

Step 2 - Set the size of the sub-screen.

Step 3 - Place a custom control on the screen set its name to u2018C_CONTAINERu2019 and set the size of the custom control to the size of the required multi-line input output field.

Step 4 - Save and activate the sub-screen.

Step 5 - Code the Data Declarations

Code snippet: -

• Create a reference to the custom control

DATA: v_text TYPE REF TO c_textedit_control.

DATA: v_line(72),

• internal table to hold user entered text

i_tab LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF v_line.

Step 6 - Define Selection Screen.

Displaying a sub-screen in a sub-screen area on a selection screen is a special case of a tab-strip control on a selection screen. A sub-screen area on a selection screen, is defined using following statements:

SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF TABBED BLOCK <sub_area>

FOR <n> LINES,

END OF BLOCK <sub_area>.

Code snippet: -

PARAMETER matnr LIKE mara-matnr.

• Data transfer error. Your installation is faulty.

SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF TABBED BLOCK sub FOR 6 LINES,

END OF BLOCK sub.

SELECT-OPTION DATE FOR SY-DATUM.

Step 7 - Before the selection screen is displayed, the subscreen must be assigned to the subscreen area <sub_area>. This is done in the initialization event by using the components PROG and DYNNR of the structure <sub_area>, which is created automatically when the subscreen area is defined . The program name of the sub-screen screen is assigned to the component PROG, and its screen number to DYNNR.

Then Create the Multi-line Input Output custome control instance and set its properties.

The Constructor parameters are explained below

a) wordwrap_mode can have following values.

WORDWRAP_OFF = 0: No line break

WORDWRAP_AT_WINDOW_BORDER = 1: Line break at the edge of the window

WORDWRAP_AT_FIXED_POSITION = 2: Line break at a fixed position

b) wordwrap_position Position for the automatic line break in a line (if <wordwrap_mode> = 2)

c) wordwrap_to_linebreak_mode Converts soft line breaks to hard ones when you save in the R/3 System.

0 or false: Soft line breaks are ignored when you save

1 or true: Soft line breaks are converted to hard breaks when you save

The method set_statusbar_mode allows to show or hide the status bar of the control. It has following parameter possible values.

a) statusbar_mode

True: Status bar visible

False: Status bar invisible

The method set_toolbar_mode allows to show or hide the toolbar. It has following parameter possible values.

b) toolbar_mode

True: Toolbar visible

False: Toolbar invisible

Code snippet: -

INITIALIZATION.

sub-prog = sy-repid.

sub-dynnr = 110.

• create an object of class c_textedit_control

CREATE OBJECT v_text

EXPORTING repid = sy-repid

dynpro_container = u2018C_CONTAINERu2019

wordwrap_mode = 2

wordwrap_position = 70

wordwrap_to_linebreak_mode = 1.

• set the status bar display off

CALL METHOD v_text ->set_statusbar_mode

EXPORTING statusbar_mode = '0'.

• set the toolbar display off

CALL METHOD v_text ->set_toolbar_mode

EXPORTING toolbar_mode = '0'.

Step 8 - Code the flow logic of the sub-screen.

Code snippet: -

PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.

MODULE PBO.

PROCESS AFTER INPUT.

MODULE PAI.

Step 9 - Code the PBO and PAI modules.

Code snippet: -

****PBO Module.

MODULE PBO OUTPUT.

CALL METHOD v_text ->set_text_as_r3table

EXPORTING table = i_tab.

****Synchronize the front and back ends

CALL METHOD c_textedit_control=>flush

EXCEPTIONS

flush_error = 01.

IF NOT sy-subrc IS INITIAL.

• Data transfer error. Your installation is faulty.

MESSAGE a001(cndp).

ENDIF.

ENDMODULE. " PBO OUTPUT

****PAI Module.

MODULE PAI INPUT.

CALL METHOD v_es_1->get_text_as_r3table

IMPORTING table = i_sys_1.

ENDMODULE. " PAI INPUT

Step 10 - Save and activate the program.

Regards,

Joy.
