WRITE statement not working in abap editor

suityan98 — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 09:17:30 GMT

I am creating a new program using se80, based on the table zcatdriverinfo, I want to let the user to insert the company code and press 'execute' to show the data from the custom table zcatdriverinfo.

However I done some code but nothing happen when I press the execute button, I used the debug mode and I see that the flow is correct and the system able to read the loop statement but nothing shown, Hopefully get some advise.

PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0200.
*
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0200.

MODULE STATUS_0200 OUTPUT.
SET PF-STATUS 'SD_DISPLAYMENU'.
SET TITLEBAR 'SD_DRIVERDISPLAY'.

ENDMODULE.

MODULE USER_COMMAND_0200 INPUT.

CASE ok_code.
WHEN 'EXECUTE'.

IF gv_bukrs IS INITIAL.
MESSAGE 'Please fill in Company code.' type 'E'.
ELSE.
perform check_data3.

perform query_data.
ENDIF.
WHEN 'EXIT'.
LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
ENDCASE.

ENDMODULE.

"skip perform check_data3 due to long logic, debug for this part okay no problem

"Problem appear here, debug get the data however there is nothing shown

FORM QUERY_DATA.

LOOP AT lv_driver into wa_driver2.

WRITE:/15 wa_driver2-icno, ...,... .

ENDLOOP.

ENDFORM.

It is working as expected: in a module pool, you do no see the effect of WRITE statements until the last dynpro has been processed.

If you wish to inform the user, either use a popup (including error messages) or include a text output field in the dynpro and write your message there.

I don't remember exactly. In "module pool programs", don't we need to use explicitly LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING in PBO/PAI of one screen? Isn't it only in "executable programs" that the list processing mode is automatically activated?

indeed we do, the one case I had in mind was that of a normal report calling a single dynpro for some task and then processing would resume: here there is no need for a LEAVE statement. Kind of contrived example, yeah.

In fact it is one of the greatest misunderstandings in ABAP that WRITE creates something like a console output.

WRITE writes to a list buffer and it is the task of classical list processing to output this.

The only place where this happens automatically is in classical reporting with executable programs.
