Module pool screen

Hi all,

I have developed a modulepool screen...this screen is used for saving vendor details into databse tables...so,here i m entering the vendor number and its details and then save it by using a pushbuton...My problem here is when i enter a vendor number and its detail values and suddenly if a user changes the vendor number...i need to show a message that u need to save vendor details before changing the vendor number..

How to achieve this..as the user first enters the vendor number and presses ENTER buton..then a event will trigger..but from there how to handle that event and how to know exactly the vendor number has changed....

Just create a global variable that can hold the vendor number and each time the user hits enter and your event is triggered, check if the vendor number has changed or not:


IF NOT gv_vendor_number IS INITIAL AND
       gv_vendor_number NE your_input_field.
  message w000(oo) with 'Vendor Number has changed'.            
  gv_vendor_number = your_input_field.
ENDIF.

The check for NOT INITIAL is needed because the first time the user enters a value your global variable will be initial but the vendor number hasn't really changed.

Hope that helps,

Michael

HI,

Hold the vendor number in new field after user press enter.Then compare it with screen field, if both are different then pass the message.

Hi Micheal,

Thanks for ur reply..

One doubt here is ...gv_vendor_number NE your_input_field

so..gv_vendor_number store the vendor and same as your_input_field...so whenever the vendor number is changed..vendor number will be replicated to both the feilds...how does it will we differinate both these feilds...

That is why you check if the field content is different BEFORE you set the current value.

Let's simulate:

Transaction is called and your_input_field is empty (gv_vendor_number is empty as well)

User enters a vendor and hits enter

We check if gv_vendor_number NE your_input_field but because gv_vendor_number is still initial we do not raise the message (because this is the first time the user put something in.

Now we move your_input_field to gv_vendor_number (both have the same value)

User now changes the your_input_field value and hits enter

We again check if gv_vendor_number NE your_input_field and because the gv_vendor_number field still has the OLD value in it we can identify it as being changed and raise the message.

Only then we move your_input_field to gv_vendor_number (both have the same value again) to make sure we capture the next change.

Thanks for ur reply...

so..my code will be like this....

In PAI :

IF NOT gv_vendor_number IS INITIAL AND

gv_vendor_number NE your_input_field.

message w000(oo) with 'Vendor Number has changed'.

gv_vendor_number = your_input_field.

ENDIF.

Move your_input_feild to gv_vendor_number.
