Alternatives:

1. ... OUTPUT

2. ... ON {para|selcrit}

3. ... ON END OF selcrit

4. ... ON BLOCK block

5. ... ON RADIOBUTTON GROUP radi

6. ... { }

7. ... ON {HELP-REQUEST|VALUE-REQUEST} FOR
      {para|selcrit-low|selcrit-high} }

8. ... ON EXIT-COMMAND

Effect

These additions allow individual evaluation of specific elements of the selection screens of the program. The information as to which selection has triggered the event is contained in the system field sy-dynnr.

Alternative 1

... OUTPUT


Effect

This event is triggered at the screen event PBO of a selection screen. In the event block, the selection screen can be prepared through assignments to the data objects of parameters and selection criteria and through dynamic screen modifications.

Note

The assignments to input fields in the event block AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT always affect the selection screen and overwrite the user inputs from previous displays of the same selection screen. Assignments in the event blocks LOAD-OF-PROGRAM oder INITIALIZATION, on the other hand, only have an effect at first program start.

Alternative 2

... ON {para|selcrit}


Effect

This event is triggered at the screen event PAI of a selection screen if the content of the input field of a parameter para or a line of a selection criterion selcrit was passed to the ABAP program. In the event block, the user input can be checked. Sending a warning or an error message in the event block makes the fields para and selcrit ready for input again.

No parameter that is defined as a radio button can be specified. For this purpose, the addition ON RADIOBUTTON GROUP is provided.

Note

If a user action takes place in the dialog box for the multiple selection of a selection criterion selcrit, the entries of the selection table are passed to the program, line by line. For each line, the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON selcrit is triggered.

Alternative 3

... ON END OF selcrit


Effect

This event is triggered after the selection table selcrit has been fully passed to the program after a user action in the dialog box for the multiple selection has taken place. In the event block, the entire selection table can be checked.

Alternative 4

... ON BLOCK block


Effect

This event is triggered at the screen event PAI of a selection screen if all the input fields of a block block of the selection screen were passed to the ABAP program. In the event block, the user inputs can be checked. Sending a warning or an error message in the event block makes all the fields of the block block ready for input again.

Alternative 5

... ON RADIOBUTTON GROUP radi


Effect

This event is triggered at the screen event PAI of a selection screen if all the fields of a radio button group radi of the selection screen were passed to the ABAP program. In the event block, the user input can be checked. Sending a warning or error message in the event block makes all the radion buttons of the block radi ready for input again.

Note

The individual fields of a radio button group are not passed individually and do not trigger the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON par.

Alternative 6

... { }


Effect

The event AT SELECTION-SCREEN itself is triggered as the last event of selection screen processing if all the input values were passed to the program. In this event block, all the user inputs can be checked. Sending a warning or an error message in the event block makes all the screen fields ready for input once again.

Alternative 7

... ON { HELP-REQUEST | VALUE-REQUEST } FOR
    {para|selcrit-low|selcrit-high} }


Effect

The two events ON HELP-REQUEST and ON VALUE-REQUEST are triggered at the screen events POH and POV of a selection screen if - for the input field of a parameter para or one of the input fields of a selection criterion selcrit - the field help F1 or the input help F4 was called. Other selection events are not triggered.

In the event blocks, a self-defined field or input field can be programmed, which overrides any helps possibly defined in the ABAP Dictionary.

Notes

Alternative 8

... ON EXIT-COMMAND


Effect

This event is triggered if the user has called one of the functions Back, Exit or Cancel. In the event block, possible clean-up actions can be executed.

Example

In these executable programs, a standard selection screen and a further selection screen are defined. In the event blocks AT SELECTION-SCREEN, the inputs in the selection screens can be specially handled using the name p_carrid and the screen number in sy-dynnr.
