toggle between fields

Former Member — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 12:49:02 GMT

Hi,

I have two fields order & contract on my screen. I want to ensure that only one field is input-enabled at any given point. I would like some sort of radio-button functionality wheerin if a user selects which field he wants to edit and subsequently the other field will be disabled.

How do i go for it .

Kindly suggest some method.

Bye

Assign some Function code for radio button and on PAI set one flag. then in PBO using that FLAG do as;

LOOP AT SCREEN.
If FLAG = '1'.
   " Disable Contract field
ELSE
   " Disable Order Field
ENDIF.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.

HI,

try like this..

at selection-screen output.
if r1 EQ 'X'.
 loop at screen.
 if screen-name = 'FIELD2'.
 screen-input = 0.
 modify screen.
endif.
endloop.
elseif r2 EQ 'X'.
 loop at screen.
 if screen-name = 'FIELD1'.
 screen-input = 0.
 modify screen.
endif.
endloop.
endif.

Hi,

I tried out both methods however they are not working. I've to press 'enter key' to invoke my code for checking & modiffying screen. I want the fields to be disabled immediately whenever the user select either of one radio button(i.e. user doesnt have to press enter key). also if i modify screen all values entered in other fields are getting erased. Kindly advice.

Bye

Hi Mac,

What we require is a very common requirement in the custom selection screen

The usual technique is to create the 2 fields as radio button assigned to a group..one will be X by default...when user clicks on another radio button we show the user input field

eg: PARAMETERS: r1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1 DEFAULT 'X',

r2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1.

At selection screen-output.

if r1 = 'X'.

loop at screen .

if screen-name = 'ORDER'.

screen-input = 1.

screen-active = 1.

modify screen.

endif.

if screen-name = 'OTHER'..

screen-input = 0.

screen-active = 0.

modify screen.

endif.

modify screen.

endloop.

else..

*****do opposite

endif.

So when user presses other radio button.......the other radio button = 'X'.....and code will act accordingly.

Hope it helps

Regards

Hi Mac,

Use USER-COMMAND addition to raise PAI and avoid press enter when any of the option picked in the radio button group.

Ex:

PARAMETER p_opt1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1 USER-COMMAND enter.

PARAMETER p_opt2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1 DEFAULT 'X'.
