Populate Screen Field

Former Member — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:54:20 GMT

Hello,

Its been a while since I did any dialgue programming and I can't remember how to do the following.

I have created a field on the screen say 'ABC' which is just output only. It does not relate to a field

from any database table.

How can I populate this field? In the PAI I am trying to say 'ABC' = text.

But I get the error that 'ABC' is unknown. i.e. it expects it to be a database field.

Does anybody know how I can get areound this??

Many thanks

Andy

Hi,

Go to the TOP Include and declare the field.

Say 'X' is the field that you have added to your layout.

Declare it as


DATA: X TYPE i.   "or whatever is the data type
