Hi,

in PBO

Use SET CURSOR FIELD 'DATE'

if you want this in table control add LINE LINE_NUMBER

is your date field meant for OUTPUT only ...> Check once

For more info Please go through the F1 help

Thanks for ur reply.

The Date field can be edited also.

Rite now in my program the date field is set to todays date by default.

So When loading screen the cursor has to placed in Department.

User press enter after entering the department field cursor as to move automatically to User name field.

Kindly do me favourable

Hi Arvind, Try this way. <li>Flow logic


PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
  MODULE init_100.

PROCESS AFTER INPUT.

<li>Code for module init_100.


*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
*  MODULE init_100 OUTPUT
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
MODULE init_100 OUTPUT.
  date = sy-datum.  "DATE -screen field for date
 " During PBO processing, SET CURSOR statement sets the cursor in the screen layout of the current screen.
  SET CURSOR FIELD 'DEPARTMENT'."DEPARTMENT is the screen field for the department
ENDMODULE.                    "init_100 OUTPUT

Thanks Venkat.O

hi ,

you dont need any coding for this. this can be done by changing setting in the system.

Click on Customize local layout->options->cursor and tick automatic tabiing. this needs to be done for each user but this is very simple setting and user can do it by themselves.
