Loop At screen - Simple syntax but not working

vallamuthu_madheswaran2 — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 08:16:55 GMT

Hi ABAPERs,

In my program, I am using 2 radio buttons. Based on that I wnated to hide the parameter. I am writing the validation in the event "AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1." Kindly find the below syntax it's not working.

  LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF rb_upd = abap_true.
      IF screen-name = 'PA_FILE' OR screen-name = '%_PA_FILE_%_APP_%-TEXT'.
        screen-active = 0.
        screen-invisible = '1'.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.

Thanks with regards,

Vallamuthu M.

The LOOP AT SCREEN can be used to change fields attribues at PBO (before output)

Your code is executed in PAI (after input) so has no effect as overriden in the next PBO

Move your code to the AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT
Don't use hardcoded field names, better use option MODIF ID to attach a group id to some parameters or select-options, and check this value in SCREEN-GROUP1 during LOOP AT SCREEN process
