Maintain screen fields in a custom table

Former Member — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 12:42:46 GMT

Hi,

I have a requirement wherein i have two screen fields on a selection screen. I am supposed to maintain these fields in a custom table and not hardcode them to allow flexibility in adding new input fields in the future.

How i do i go about doing this.

Thanks in advance.

What is the flexibility you are expecting here? If it is a custom program you have to anyway change the code to include more input fields.

Explain your requirement clearly.

We should maintain a custom table for the scren fields, rather than hard coding them, in order to provide flexibility to add or modify input and output fields in the future. and it is a custom program

Again you are repeating the same. Are you trying to store field values to be defaulted while running the program?

As soon as you need new fields, you need to modify the screen to add the field to it. Maintaining a field in a custom table won't make that field appear magically on the screen.

Hello,

Correct me if I am wrong. I guess you don't want to provide values to the selection screen fields either programmatically or by hard coding... Instead put that in a custom table where you can add the values in future...

I think you might have misspelled your requirement below.. field values instead of fields...

"I am supposed to maintain these fields in a custom table and not hardcode them to allow flexibility in adding new input fields in the future"

If I am right, please use the table TVARV where you can maintain the variables of your selection screen. In future if you want to include new VALUES (not new fields), you can do that here...

Let me know whether that helps...
