Handling function keys

Hello everyone,

How I can know what function key has user pressed on the standard parameters report screen? I want to distinguish between F8 and F9 (execute on background).

The system field SY-UCOMM will have the command assigned to the function module so you can check that.

I'd suggest searching SDN before posting in future as most things (including this) have been asked and answered before.

You can differnetiate the F8 & F9 with their function code

F8 have function code ONLI & F9 have function code SJOB

Hi,

if you want to check whether the program is run in online or in background..

Then you can use the system variable SY-BATCH.

If SY-BATCH = 'X'..Then background

If SY-BATCH = ' '.. Then online

Thanks

Thanks for the answers. Really, I've tried to search for the answer many times before sending a new question but I failed.
