purpose of Save button in module pool program

Former Member — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 07:39:57 GMT

Hi,

When we execute a module pool report, there appears a greyed out SAVE button in the toolbar.

Is it possible to create variants for module pool programs?

If not, then what is the exact purpose of the SAVE button?

Thanks,

David.

HI,

When we are using modulepool programs our aim is to input data on the screen and then do some navigations with different screens .

To answer your question , we can create variants only for Executable Programs....Now the functionalty of save button is

1>Save data to db tables before exiting from the module pool program

2>Exit the Current program transaction after updating the db tables.

Regards,

Nagaraj

Hi David

We can created variants only for reports (executable programs).

As far as the SAVE button is concerned, we use dialog programs to navigate between screens and carry out some applications. SAVE button saves the entries we have entered on the screen prior to clicking on the button.

Hope this helps.
