SY-UCOMM and OK_CODE

Former Member — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:14:57 GMT

what is the differenece between these two ?

when will the user event be stored in each of these..

i had a dialog with PF status and it was working fine as the ok_code was capturing the function code perfectly.

then i recreated my tabstrip and after that the function code of the buttons in the PF status are not at all captured when the first tab is selected. when the second tab of the tabstrip is selected the function code is correctly set in the ok_code !!

sounds weird , isn't it ? but this is what is happening with me..

any help pl ??

thks

SY-UCOMM is a system-field and will be filled only by the system.

You can query this field.... but don't fill any system-field by yourself.

OK_CODE is created from you. Usually it is filled from the PF-Status or the screen-field (OK_code...or simelar). But you also can changed this field whenever you want to do this.

Hi Friend,

SY-UCOMM is for performing the functions what the user wishes to do at that particular event(action). We use it in menus and other place . this mainly in using

OK_CODE is generally used in screen as of I have used. You will define the function in the screen. and you can use it in the main program.

OK_CODE acts just as a temporary variable that stores the value of sy-ucomm. When user interacts with the screen elements, the function code that you have assigned is filled in the sy-ucomm field which is turn gets reflected in OK_CODE.
