Changing selection sequence for logical database

Former Member — Sun, 10 Sep 2006 01:26:50 GMT

Hi,

One of my current report is using logical database PNP. The users are satisfy with the standard selection screen. However they would like me to change the sequence of the selection field. Example, current sequence is Personnel number, company code, employee subarea. They would like it be Personnel number, employee subarea, company code.

Is there any way I can change the sequence of the selection screen? I tried using report catagory but it don't allow me to change the sequence. Please advise.

Regards,

Lanwu

I believe the only way would be to change the logial db directly, really all it is doing is the SELECTION-SCREEN coding in the background(kinda like an INCLUDE) so the only way would be to change the coding there.

Rich is correct.. but there is a workaround..

Use the Report Category that suppresses all the selection fields.. I the program deifne your selection screen with the fields in your own order preference. In the STARt-OF-SELECTION event.. pass the values entered to the PNP fileds.. ie suppoes you have declared S_PERNR ( for Pers No), then use PNPPERNR[] = s_pernr[]. This way you will not have to change the LDB program..
