hi,

You can define your screen with screen number starting from 9000 onwards.

Refer to the link.

You can create a screen from the Screen Painter initial screen or from the object list in the Object Navigator.

Procedure

You create screens from the initial screen of the Screen Painter as follows

1. Start the Screen Painter.

2. Enter a program name.

The program you specify should be an executable program (type 1), a module pool (type M), or a function group (type F) and must already exist.

3. Enter a screen number.

A screen number must be unique and up to 4 numbers long. All screen numbers above 9000 are reserved for SAP's customers. The number 1000 is reserved for table screens and report selection screens. Initial screens of transactions are often given a number whose last three digits are 100 (for example, 3100).

To display a list of a program's screens, use the possible entries button.

4. Choose Create.

The system displays the Change Screen Attributes screen.

5. Define the screen attributes.

Screen attributes

Screen attributes enable the system to assign and process a screen. You can set the following screen attributes:

Attribute

Description and Ergonomic Guidelines

Program

Name of the module pool to which the screen belongs.

Screen number

Identifies a unique name up to 4 numbers long.

Short description

Describes a screen's purpose.

Original Language

Identifies a screen's maintenance language. When you create a screen, the system sets this value to the module pool's maintenance language.

Package

Identifies the package the screen belongs to.

Last changed or Last generated

Date and time when the screen was last changed or generated.

Screen type

Normal

If you set this option, the screen is flagged as a normal screen. This is the default setting.

Subscreen

Identifies the screen as a subscreen.

Modal dialog box

Identifies a specialized interface for display of lists in a dialog box. See Using Modal Dialog Boxes for more details.

Selection screen

Identifies an automatically created screen. Selection screens request values for database selection criteria before a report is started. The system sets this attribute automatically.

Settings

Hold data

The system only supports the Hold data, Set data, and Delete data functions (under System Õ User profile) on the screen if this option is selected. The system can hold entries made on the screen at runtime in this way. The system automatically displays this data if the user calls the particular screen again.

Switch off runtime compression

If you set this option, the screen is not compressed at runtime.

Ergonomic guideline: You should not use this option, since empty lines may appear on the screen if you hide fields dynamically at runtime. When gaps occur, users typically need longer to process the screen.

Hold scroll position

Use this option to specify whether the vertical and horizontal scroll positions should be retained for a screen. If you set the attribute, the scroll position is retained when the user returns to the screen after processing another screen.

This also applies if the length or width of the screen changes, if other subscreens are used, or if the cursor is placed outside the visible area.

This setting is intended for large screens on which the scroll position has previously been lost as a result of certain actions.

Without application toolbar

With this attribute you can suppress the display of the application toolbar belonging to the current program status. This is particularly important if the application does not need its own toolbar since it is included in the toolbar for the controls.

If the Without application toolbar option is set, the toolbar belonging to the current program status is not displayed , whether or not it contains pushbuttons. The corresponding place that was reserved for the toolbar is then free.

You cannot change this attribute at runtime.

Note that the functions of the current program status are only available on the menu bar or context menu (right mouse key).

Other attributes

Next screen

Number of the next screen to be displayed, assuming that the screen sequence is processed statically.

Cursor position

Identifies the screen element that contains the cursor when a screen is first displayed. If you leave this field blank, the system uses the first screen field that can accept input.

Screen group

Specifies a four-character identifier of a group of associated screens.

Lines/columns Used

Specifies the size of the screen area currently occupied with screen elements.

Lines/columns Maint.

Size of the screen in rows/columns. The size is measured in characters starting with the upper left corner.

Screens can have a maximum size of 200 rows x 255 columns.

HI,

screen are used to program specific. You can directly go to SE51, Give the exsisting program name for example.

YSD_TEST

And then the screen no, like ( 0100, 1000, 2000) anything you want, And the you can click on create, now for dialog programs, you have to give some PF status, and have to create, the corresponding PAI and PBO modules in the scrren.

Use that and your screen would be ready, if you need some code, please explain your scenario , i wiil give you the code.

Khan.
