Is it possible to dispplay time dynamically in module pool

[Former Member]

Hi,

i have a requirement to display the current time of the system in a field on the module pool screen.

once PBo is loading i am capturing the time and displaying,, but the requirement is like the time should not static it should be dynamically changing like stopwatch.

please advise whether it is possible or not .

Hi Mukesh,

IN ABAP screens, data is generally static and to refresh the screens contents Module pool generally require a event (Like enter or back event). I think there is one FM which can trigger such event which can be used to refresh the screen, but it will not be like a stop-watch..

Hi,

you can use class CL_GUI_TIMER to get it updated every n seconds.

The hurdle is that the screen is only updated by going thru the PBO - PAI cycle which requires user action.

A solution might be a small html-control inside your screen which contains only the time field.

CL_GUI_TIMER can solve the problem if in the method handling the on_finished event you use a cl_gui_cfw=>set_new_ok_code to raise a PAI/PBO cycle.

(Or ask user not to hide Windows taskbar...)

Can't set_new_ok_code confuse the user if he/she is just making some entry in a dynpro-field?

In fact I always used this option in display lists, not on input screen, just to display a "time of extraction" field, and never on an input screen.
