Setting PF Status for a selection screen

Former Member — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:11:45 GMT

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set a pf status for a selection screen that I've created. I need the EXIT, BACK and CANCEL buttons from the application toolbar active. When I run the program it is inactive even after creating the pf status and calling it using "set pf-status'xxxx' ".

Any solution provided would be appreciated!

Thanks!!!

Warm Regards,

General check ups...

1. Check whether you create a Screen or SAP Generated SAP... Program is Report/Module pool.

2. Check whether your GUI Status is Active or not. If active check the Func Keys u want...

3. In the PBO you should call the SET PF-STATUS 'STATUS_0100'.

4. In case of a Report Screen 1000 will be automatically generated by SAP..

In this case you dont need to create a PF it will come by default with SAVE, BACK, EXIT and CANCEL

Hope this helps...

Hi Venkat,

It is not an SAP screen, it is a custom development. I've created a pf status using menu painter called 'znew'. When I run the module pool program, the above mentioned buttons are inactive. The pf status 'znew' is active. Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!

Put the PF Status Name in the Quotes with Capital Letters..

'ZNEW'

Also Check Whether your PF STATUS is called in the PBO... as SET PF-STATUS 'ZNEW'.

It should come then... Hope this helps..

Hi Venkat,

Declaring the set pf-status under PBO has solved the issue. Thanks a lot for your help.
