PARAMETER with MEMORY ID not refreshed

Former Member — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 04:39:39 GMT

Hi Expert,

I have only 1 parameter in my selection screen, connected to ID EBS (PO number)

In the code, I increment the PO number by 1 and set the parameter.

However, after the program completes and I press "BACK", the parameter still shows the old PO number.

Only when I quit the program and execute it again, it will show the new PO number in the selection screen.

Is there any way to show the new PO number after I press "BACK"?

PARAMETERS: P_EBELN LIKE EKKO-EBELN MEMORY ID EBS.

START-OF-SELECTION.
P_EBELN = P_EBELN + 1.
SET PARAMETER ID 'EBS' FIELD P_EBELN.
WRITE: / P_EBELN.

Thank you,

Hi,

the memory id for purchase order is BES not EBS.

Best regards,

Sorry for the typo, it's BES, but still doesn't work

Affer backing to selection-screen all the system always restores the old selection data, this is a standard behavior and you can't prevent it

The system re-fill the selection-screen with old data just after the event INITIALIZATION, you can try to check this simple code:

PARAMETERS: P_EBELN LIKE EKKO-EBELN.

INITIALIZATION.
GET PARAMETER ID 'EBS' FIELD P_EBELN.
BREAK-POINT.

START-OF-SELECTION.
P_EBELN = P_EBELN + 1.
SET PARAMETER ID 'EBS' FIELD P_EBELN.
WRITE: / P_EBELN.

It's just like your code, but I use the event INITIALIZATION to get the value from PARAMETER ID: at the break-point you can see the value is got correctly, but in the selection-screen it'll be shown the old value.

The old data are stored in a memory and the system refreshs it after leaving the program: that explains behavior you see

Even though INITIALIZATION event will execute before displaying the selection screen again, this event will can be used to initialize the selection-screen parameters only once, just after LOAD-OF-PROGRAM ( Initialization ).

If generated Purchase order number to be displayed explicitly for each selection screen call, event AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT should be used.

Mine is just only an example in order to explain the behavior is corret, so it's not an error.

Yes he should use AT SELECTION-CREEN OUTPUT event, but then he need to solve others issue, because this event is called as soon as an action is done.

I'm waiting a response from TY in order to know what he really needs.

Thank you, Max and Vinod

Now I understand it is standard behaviour, and I can refresh the parameter as below:

PARAMETERS: P_EBELN LIKE EKKO-EBELN MEMORY ID EBS.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

GET PARAMETER ID 'BES' FIELD P_EBELN.

START-OF-SELECTION.
P_EBELN = P_EBELN + 1.
SET PARAMETER ID 'EBS' FIELD P_EBELN.
WRITE: / P_EBELN.

However, if I call this program with SUBMIT, the input PO number will always be overwritten by the "AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT" statement.

SUBMIT ZPROG01 WITH P_EBELN = '12345'.

Although I input PO number = 12345, if the original BES parameter stored "1000",

the program will still shows 1001 instead of 12346.

But this can be solved by calling SET PARAMETER before I call SUBMIT.

yes your're right the event wi'll always overwrite the value, this is the other issue I've spoken before and this is the why I didn't suggest it at the beginning
