Activating radiobuttons using variant on selection screen

Former Member — Wed, 16 May 2012 11:57:11 GMT

Hi,

I need to create 2 radiobuttons on a selection screen . The conditions are: Once I execute my program one out of those should be selected by default and that block should either be invisible or uneditable (this part is pretty okay and doable).

However, I need to create a variant for this program such that when I select this particular variant, those radiobuttons might become active or editable.

Are there any settings for the variant which might help me incorporate this functionality???

I have done the other way round that is when i select a particular variant we can hide a block of the selection screen. I am not getting a way across this one.

Please provide me with your opinions.

Thanks and regards,

Aastha

Is your requirement, that when you select a varaint, none of the radiobuttons be selected and both the blocks should be displayed.

Hi Aastha,

I wasnt able to get your problem completely, but from what I could understand, please find my suggestion below:

Step 1:Follow the following code:

PARAMETERS:

p_rad1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad USER-COMMAND cmd,

p_rad2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad.

PARAMETERS:

p_1 MODIF ID rad1,

p_2 MODIF ID rad1,

p_3 MODIF ID rad2,

p_4 MODIF ID rad2.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

LOOP AT SCREEN.

IF screen-group1 = 'RAD1' or

screen-group1 = 'RAD2'.

screen-invisible = 1.

screen-active = 0.

ENDIF.

IF p_rad1 = 'X' AND screen-group1 = 'RAD1'.

screen-invisible = 0.

screen-active = 1.

ENDIF.

IF p_rad2 = 'X' AND screen-group1 = 'RAD2'.

screen-invisible = 0.

screen-active = 1.

ENDIF.

MODIFY SCREEN.

ENDLOOP.

Step 2: Create different variants in which different radio buttons are selected.

When individual variants will get loaded, it will switch on and off respective blocks of parameters.

Best regards,

Anand.

Dear Aastha Mehrotra,

I think your question is how to hide selection screen feilds using variants ? Yes hiding selection screen elements using variants is one of the important functionalities of a variant.

Variant has got an attribute called 'Hide'. you have to set this attribute for all those fields which you want to hide on the selection screen. Please see the attached image where a parameter is being hidden by checking the hide attribute of variant.

Hope this helps. Thank you.

kartik

A variant wont set editable fields hidden in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT, so

- In the program (without variant) the radiobutons must be selectable (do nothing...)

- Create a variant which will be called in the transaction definion, the radiobuttons must not be selectable

Lauch report

Check the default radiobutton

click on SAVE

go to attributes

Set every other field as "without value" in variant

Set the radobuttons as protected, even not-displayed

- Create another variant where the radiobuttons are selectable

set every field as "without value" in variant

(Save field without value, will prevent overide of current values when selecting variants)

Raymond

Hi Anand,

The issue is that there is a hidden block of selection screen in which I have two radio buttons.

I have to make changes to those radio buttons at the variant level. I have to create a variant such that the hidden block is visible there.

Aastha

Hi Kartik,

As I mentioned in the post, I have already done this particular thing i.e hiding something at the variant level. What I need to accomplish here is the exact opposite. I need to activate something that is inactive or hidden.

Thanks though.

Why not simply create two separate variant transactions, each starting with a different variant?

Hi Aastha

Now, I understand your problem better.

First identify the condition which makes this mentioned hidden block visible e.g. it could be some checkbox or a radio button. You could identify this condition by looking into the report program if you are new to your particular report.

Then you can save your variant in the state in which this hidden block becomes visible.

Anand

Hi,

Probably silly but what about handling SY-SLSET field and, based on his value, adapt your selection screen appropriately under SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT event?

as far as I remember the variant does not care id the field is visible editable or not - values are just passed to parameters (Try!)

Hi Anand,

I totally agree with your reply that we would require a particular condition to enable that block. But the client requires this thing to be done on selection of a particular variant This is the entire dilemma all about.

Otherwise, this would have been done

Thanks,

True! However, we are not considering the values in the screen fields here we have to activate a screen block when we select a particular variant.

Thanks,

Hi Aastha,

If the variant name is know then you can use the method suggested by Manu using SY-SLSET value. Check what are the values of the SY-SLSET and the SCREEN-NAME value of the selection block which you want to hide in the debugger and use those values for screen modification.

Sample Code

TABLES : bsad, bsak.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.

SELECT-OPTIONS : s_bukrs FOR bsad-bukrs OBLIGATORY.

PARAMETERS :    p_gjahr TYPE bsad-gjahr OBLIGATORY.

SELECT-OPTIONS : s_wrbtr FOR bsak-wrbtr OBLIGATORY,
                s_blart FOR bsak-blart.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b2 WITH FRAME TITLE text-002.

PARAMETERS : p_ccode RADIOBUTTON GROUP r1,
            p_cdoct RADIOBUTTON GROUP r1 DEFAULT 'X'.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b2.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

IF sy-slset = 'TEST 1'.    " Hide the selection block for TEST 1 variant
    LOOP AT SCREEN.

      CASE screen-name.
        WHEN 'P_CCODE'.
          screen-invisible = 1.
          screen-required = 0.
          MODIFY SCREEN.
        WHEN 'P_CDOCT'.
          screen-invisible = 1.
          screen-required = 0.
          MODIFY SCREEN.
        WHEN '%B002009_BLOCK_1000'.
          screen-invisible = 1.
          MODIFY SCREEN.
        WHEN OTHERS.
      ENDCASE.

    ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

START-OF-SELECTION.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Aashta,

when you choose a particular variant, the values for the fields in the variants are set and then event AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT is processed.

Here you can use LOOP AT SCREEN to change screen apperarance as you like. It is far more easier if you add MODIF ID xyz to all parameters/select-options in the block.

Then you can use screen-group1 in LOOP AT SCREEN to determine where to set screen-active = 0. If all screen fields in a block are inactive, the whole block is inactive ad it is not displayed.

Clemens

Hi Clemens,

Thanks for responding. The functionality has been achieved using the value in sy-slset. I looped at screen in selection screen output if sy-slset is not that particular variant.

Aastha
