there two is used in the interactive reporting ...

hide is used to carry the data from one screen to another..

You cannot save lines or components of lines of an internal table that is addressed using a field symbol to the HIDE area. (Compare the ASSIGNING addition to the READ and LOOP statements). Assign the contents of the line or component to a global variable and save this instead.

but using GET Cursor u can get

Hi John,

Both are used in interactive reporting.

Hide: Hide statement stores all the values written on the list with their page number, line number, list number and also the data in the record in the form a table for each record. So, hide statement is used just after WRITE Statement.

Once clicked on a record in the list the system checks the HIDE table with page number, line number, list number and gets the corresponding values

Get Cursor: Get Cursor just gets the value at the cursor position. ie., the point where we have clicked on the list.
