Hi,

Do you mean to say that no event is getting triggered when you press the button?

What type of error are you getting?

Deepthi.

When you press F1 on the word "Pushbutton" in your code, you can read the following:

You must specify the position of the output field using [/][pos](len). The syntax and meaning of [/][pos](len) are the same as when creating horizontal lines, although in this case, len defines the length of the pushbutton on the selection screen. If a pushbutton extends beyond position 83 or beyond the edge of a block with a frame, it is cut off at the right hand side.

Try creating a dynpro, of use less text on the buts.

Hi Shweta,

The maximul offset that you can specify is 83. Hence if you have 5 pushbuttons with a length of 20 each, then you need to put at least one or more pushbuttons on the next line.

You can do so by using the SELECTION-SCREEN SKIP. statement which will display the remaining pushbuttons on the next line, where you can start with the minimum offset of 1 again.

SELECTION-SCREEN:
    PUSHBUTTON 1(20)  but1 USER-COMMAND cli1,
    PUSHBUTTON 22(20) but2 USER-COMMAND cli2,
    PUSHBUTTON 44(20) but3 USER-COMMAND cli3,
    PUSHBUTTON 66(20) but4 USER-COMMAND cli4.

SELECTION-SCREEN SKIP.

SELECTION-SCREEN PUSHBUTTON 1(20) but5 USER-COMMAND cli5.

Try this piece of code and you can modify it as per your requirement.

Hope this was useful.

Himanshu

Hi shweta,

The offset can be up to two characters long only.

You can create the pushbuuton on the selection-screen:

selection-screen:

PUSHBUTTON 2(20) but1 USER-COMMAND cli1,

PUSHBUTTON 22(20) text-020 USER-COMMAND cli2,

PUSHBUTTON 42(20) text-020 USER-COMMAND cli3,

PUSHBUTTON 62(20) text-020 USER-COMMAND cli4,

PUSHBUTTON 82(20) text-020 USER-COMMAND cli5.

Hi;

just change the above code like this

selection-screen:
PUSHBUTTON 2(10) but1 USER-COMMAND cli1,
PUSHBUTTON 22(10) text-020 USER-COMMAND cli2,
PUSHBUTTON 42(10) text-020 USER-COMMAND cli3,
PUSHBUTTON 62(10) text-020 USER-COMMAND cli4,
PUSHBUTTON 82(10) text-020 USER-COMMAND cli5.

Finding it kinda hard to put a 500 lb Gorilla in a 5 lb can huh?

Either you'll need to shorten the text to about 15 to get them all on one line, or create a PF Status and try to get more than 20 characters in that.

I did test using PF-STATUS and you can get 5 20 character buttons without Icons. I didn't test with icons.

This code will get you your customized PF Status.


INITIALIZATION.
  SET PF-STATUS 'YPTCGOOF'.
