"/" character in ABAP dynpro screen element name

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have a screen element on ABAP dynpro named as /DMNN/SD_SYS-SYSID

I changed this element to drop down and get listed values from data element /DMNN/SD_SYS-SYSID

Now on the PBO, I want to set initial value

/DMNN/SD_SYS-SYSID = 'D0P'

But I got the following error when I try to activate

Field "/DMNN/SD_SYS-SYSID" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement.

Thanks for any help

For each screen field you need corresponding data object defined in ABAP program. So all you need is to declare this structure either this way

tables /DMNN/SD_SYS.

or this

data /DMNN/SD_SYS type /DMNN/SD_SYS.

Now you can initialize its fields in PBO with any data you want.

Regards
