Screens: Change Element type

former_member852447 — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:49:28 GMT

Hello experts,

I need to change a number of types of screen elements on an existing screen for example a checkbox to an input/output field and checkbox to a dropdown list box. Please advise if SAP allows this as the screen element types are greyed out .....maybe the only way is to delete the sub-screen and create it again using the correct screen element types.

Thanks

Check for the screen exit which is an enhancement type. And then grey out the fields you want and add whatever required.

Hello WDABAP,

Would I find this screen exit in the flow logic for this particular screen and if so would it be in the SAP function module used before output.

Its OK everybody..solved it myself....you have to delete the type in the layout editor and then re-create it again
