Cause SCREEN is not actually an internal table, so no 'WHERE option', no 'READ TABLE'. 'LOOP AT SCREEN' 'MODIFY SCREEN' are statements, distinct from 'LOOP AT itab' and 'MODIFY itab'.

Raymond is correct, but additionally, I'd say that there is no technical reason, but it is sinply not implemented because there was no demand. And now in the age of UI5 I wouldn't expect any enhancements to statements for dynpros any more.
