Hi Prachi,

In which way you have coded for making the first 2 fields disable make chnage the code within the loop of screen with screen-active = 1.

You are saying like if first2 inputs are wrong error msg is triggered and fields r disabled immediately how it can be able there should be some action in between this process right.

Cheers!!

Try to put another type of message but that appears as if it was of error.

MESSAGE W006 DISPLAY LIKE 'E'.

Use a BLOCK definition.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B00.
  parameters: field1, 
                    field2,
                    field3.


SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B00.



AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON BLOCK B00.
* Do your validation here and issue message when needed

This will keep all 3 fields open for input when you trigger an error message

Hi Prachi,

One thing you could do is create a success message instead of error message for that field and then set the cursor position on that (error) field in 'AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT'.
