How to input text from pushbutton into input field

tkasperski1 — Fri, 04 Dec 2020 13:19:27 GMT

For example, I have 3 pushbuttons and one input field.

Pushbuttons, 1,2,+

And now I want to click 1 then + then 2.

After that I want to have on my input text: "1+2".

How Can I do that?

Hello tkasperski

Something like this?

AT USER-COMMAND.
  CASE sy-ucomm.
    WHEN 'BTN_1'.
      gv_expression = |{ gv_expression }1|.
    WHEN 'BTN_2'.
      gv_expression = |{ gv_expression }2|.
    WHEN 'BTN_+'.
      gv_expression = |{ gv_expression }+|.
    WHEN 'BTN_CLR'.
      CLEAR gv_expression.
  ENDCASE.

You could also make it like this.

AT USER-COMMAND.
  CASE sy-ucomm.
    WHEN 'BTN_CLR'.
      CLEAR gv_expression.
    WHEN OTHERS.
      gv_expression = |{ gv_expression }{ sy-ucomm+4(1) }|.
  ENDCASE.

Kind regards,

Mateusz

Hi, thanks for your answer. I don't understand how to use it. I mean to use the user selection screen. Add 3 buttons and input on the user selection screen for example

DATA: input TYPE i.

SELECTION-SCREEN:
 BEGIN OF SCREEN 500 AS WINDOW TITLE title,
 PUSHBUTTON 2(10) text-001 USER-COMMAND cli1,
 PUSHBUTTON 12(30) text-002 USER-COMMAND cli2,
 PUSHBUTTON 12(30) text-003 USER-COMMAND cli3
  VISIBLE LENGTH 10,
 END OF SCREEN 500.

For example
text-001 = 1
text-002 = 2
text-003 = +

I click cli1(button) then cli3(button) then cli2(button) and as a result I have 1 + 2 on my input.

You need to use AT SELECTION-SCREEN event in this case.

DATA:
  gv_expression TYPE string.


" create push buttons
SELECTION-SCREEN PUSHBUTTON /2(40) text-001 USER-COMMAND btn_1,
SELECTION-SCREEN PUSHBUTTON /2(40) text-002 USER-COMMAND btn_2.
SELECTION-SCREEN PUSHBUTTON /2(40) text-003 USER-COMMAND btn_+.
SELECTION-SCREEN PUSHBUTTON /2(40) text-004 USER-COMMAND btn_clr.

" handle a button being pushed
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
  CASE sscrfields.
    WHEN 'BTN_CLR'.
      CLEAR gv_expression. " clear the expression
    WHEN OTHERS.
      gv_expression = |{ gv_expression } { sscrfields+4(1) }|. " add next character to the expression
  ENDCASE.

  WRITE gv_expression.

Not tested in the system, though. Might have some typos.

Kind regards,
Mateusz

Ok, now I understand but how to put values from text-001 etc. into input field?

If you want to do it that way.

  CASE sscrfields.
    WHEN 'BTN_CLR'.
      CLEAR gv_expression. " clear the expression
    WHEN 'BTN_+'.
      gv_expression = |{ gv_expression } { text-003 }|. 
    WHEN 'BTN_1'.
      gv_expression = |{ gv_expression } { text-001 }|. 
    WHEN 'BTN_2'.
      gv_expression = |{ gv_expression } { text-002 }|. 
  ENDCASE.

Ok, thanks a lot now I understand how it works and how to do but the last thing I want to know Is how "in real time" put those values into input field because now I am clicking buttons and when I click execute button I see result.

Add the input field to the screen.

PARAMETER: p_input TYPE char20.

After the expression is updated, update the field.

p_input = gv_expression.

You could also concatenate the expression to the input field directly.

Kind regards,
