Calling selection screens

Selection screens can be called as follows:

• with the statement SUBMIT

• as selection screen of a report transaction

• as initial screen of a dialog transaction

• via the statement CALL SELECTION-SCREEN

Every call starts selection screen processing.

Call via SUBMIT

At the execution of an executable program via the statement SUBMIT, the standard selection screen or the selection screen specified in the statement between the events INITIALIZATION and START-OF-SELECTION is called if it contains at least one input field or one pushbutton.

Call via report transaction

At the execution of a report transaction, the assigned executable program is started with SUBMIT, and the selection screen determined for the transaction between the events INITIALIZATION and START-OF-SELECTION is called.

Call via dialog transaction

If at a dialog transaction, the selection screen of the corresponding program is defined as initial screen, then the selection screen is called first at execution of the program via transaction code. However, this selection screen is not treated as the first screen of a screen sequence (see selection screen processing).
