Vertical Scroll Reload on Table Control

Former Member — Fri, 06 Jan 2006 18:32:57 GMT

Hello,

I've created a couple table controls in ABAP for a custom transaction that is going to be run through the web portal. My problem is that the horizontal scroll on the table is handled on the front end, and the vertical scroll is handled in the program. This means that moving the vertical scroll bar is much slower and not as user friendly as the horizontal one when run on the web (where it has to hit the back end and refresh the screen every time it's moved). I don't think there is anything I can do about that, but on behalf of my customer I thought I'd check to see if anyone here knows any settings or any way to run vertical scrolling without hitting the abap code.

Thanks,

Nathan Beeler

Maybe OSS Note #636492 will help.

I've had a look at that OSS and it appears that we're past that with our current version (ITS 6.20). But I wasn't thinking of looking through OSS notes - so that's a good idea.

Thanks,

Nathan

You might also look at the<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_webas630/helpdata/en/24/ef243a84da356be10000000a11402f/plain.htm">ITS Service Parameters</a>. I'm thinking of ~AUTOSCROLL.

Thanks, Rob. This didn't seem to effect things in the way that I was hoping, but it was certainly something I wouldn't have known to try.

The note I mentioned talks about the service parameter ~verticalscroll. They say it's available in 6.20 but I don't think they recommend it. Did you try it? there also seem to be a lot of unreleased notes on the subject of scrolling, so maybe in a future support pack...

Well, we tried that as well and it also did nothing. But thanks again for the suggestion.

Too bad - but if you think about it, it makes sense that scrolling is handled by the transaction. If the screen could be made indefinitely longer, then it could be handled in the browser. But SAP screens are limited in length.
