Adding Custom field to a Standard Program

Former Member — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 05:56:19 GMT

I have to add a custom field in a standard program SAPMF02D screen 7131. I added it in the layout it is showing up on 'execution', but when I'm calling that screen from FD03(as mine is customer table related) it is not showing up. I added the field name in CHAIN-ENDCHAIN but I think problem lies in linking it with the data dictionary and adding some module name in CHAIN-ENDCHAIN. Please guide me on this.

Hi,

Chain EndChain is here to manage the event on a field, if you try to change the value. Not to display or not the field.

Did you check the code about something like "LOOP AT SCREEN" ?

Fred

Yes, I know it is to check the change in value.
I have set all the groups and it is dislaying its name in loops also. I checked it in debugging window.

Hi Prabhat,

Make sure you have activated all the objects, seems like some inactive objects exist. If not, check is the same screen which you trying from FD03 .

If you used any groups, make sure at runtime is it not becoming invisible with Loop at screen logic.

Thanks & Regards,

Field group is correct because other fields under same group are getting displayed.
Under transaction SPRO, my field name is being displayed under a field group, I checked it.
But when I'm checking the same from FD03, that field is not getting displayed.

Also, IF, somehow, its visibility is being set to invisible, then, I think, that field should not be displayed when I'm executing that screen in SE51.

Hi Prabhat,

When you execute the screen from SE51, all the fields get displayed so you cant say since fields displaying in SE51 so it has to display when you call screen inside program.

There could be chances like inside PBO module code code might be written to display fields dynamically.

And as you said 'Other fields under same groups are getting displayed ', You can set four groups for field so are you sure what the field you have added has same groups of field being displayed ?

Thanks & Regards,

Arun

Yes, the groups are the same.
I am now checking the PBO code and will get back to you if the issue is still not resolved.
