Cursor position on the SAP standard screen.

[Former Member]

Hello SAP experts,

How do we know, where the cursor is, on the screen, PO (ME21N). I know this sounds like a basic question, but am not able to find any help on this. I have tried to loop at screen and check for the fieldname, but that worked for me only in the reports. I want to enter data on the sap screens and based on which field the cursor is positioned, I want to carryout certain actions.

Could anyone help me. If anything like this was answered, please help me with the link.

Thanks v much,

Sorab.

Thank you for your answers. Here:

Let me make it more clear. On the transaction like VA01 OR ME21N, when the user enters data, based on the field the user is keying in the data for , I want to do some validation ( which I am trying to through a BADI ), but since a different validation is done for different fields, I am trying to find which field user is actively working with, in the BADI.

Hope I am clear now. Do let me know otherwise.

Thanks much,

Sorab

Hi

In order to validate data you can validate it on save in the badi.. To get cursor position a command is there with get cursor press f1 and read the documentation on how to use it.

Hello Nabheet,

I am looking for the command. Which command is that. I know that, I can get the screen parameters by pressing F1 and looking at its technical data. I have the program name and screen field name which I need to compare with. What I do not know is, the left side parameter(command?). In the BADI , when I say,

if <command name> = 'SCREEN FIELDNAME'

....

endif.

Can you tell me, what the command name will be?

Thank you,

Hi Nabheet ,

Thanks for your response. This is what I am trying to do.

On the ME21N transaction, in the item overview, when I enter an account assignment category(KNTTP) , I want to bring a validated material group(MATKL) help list for the user (corresponding to the acct.asgmt cat.) when they are on the material group field.

Let me know, if I don't make sense.

Thanks,

Sorab
