Dynamically setting field attributes based on input

Former Member — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 15:36:51 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to see if it is possible to dynamically set field attributes depending on other fields. For example, in screen 1100 of IQ01, I want to make it so that "Certification number" becomes mandatory if "certification status" = 1, and becomes optional if "certification status" = 2,3 or 4.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Regards,

Have you checked this

if your requirement is to do this in Tcode IQ01 then the above answer is not sufficient

You can try like:


LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF <certification status> = 1.
  IF SCREEN-FIELD = <Certification number>.
    SCREEN-REQUIRED = 'X'.
  ENDIF.
ELSE.
  IF SCREEN-FIELD = <Certification number>.
    SCREEN-REQUIRED = ' '.
  ENDIF.
  MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.

it is possible only when you have an exit/enhancement spot/badi in the PBO module of the screen.

check if there is any exit for the same.

Thank you. Yes, I understand how to change the field setting, but I am not sure where to put the code. How do I look if there are exits/badis available for PAI of the screen?

you have to check for PBO and not PAI module.

I will check it and let you know .

can you tell me which screen you are looking for.

Since in the above you mentioned 1100 screen , seems there is no screen 1100.

It's the IS-U specific data screen, comes up after I enter the Material number in the initial screen, and press enter.

According to technical information it is:

Program Name: SAPLE10R

Screen Number: 1100

I don't find any enhancements for that screen flow logic, checked it with the screen number and program you provided.
