Hi,

You can do this thing in 2 steps

1. Create a transaction for your report program

2. Write a new program in which you will check for the user names

if the user executing the program comes in the category where you need to directly go without selection screen then you can use the SUBMIT statement, if the user is not in that category then call the transaction which you have created and it will show you the selection screen.

hi Martin,

I don't think this can be done directly, only with workaround:

write a small program which calls the original program with SUBMIT. The program should check the username and depending on that, either makes SUBMIT ... VIA SELECTION-SCREEN (in this case the selection screen will appear), or SUBMIT ... USING SELECTION-SET '...' (in this case the program will start automatically).

hope this helps

Try creating a parameter transaction. Be sure to select 'Skip first screen'. And fill in the defaults for the selection screen.
