Hi raju,

These are stored in Hide Area.

These are not stored in db.

Hi surendra,

By default, the data of the basic list is not available when you are in the secondary list.

However, the HIDE statement allows you to store field contents for a particular list line in a special area ( Hide Area ). For each field, the system stores the field name and the value.

The HIDE command must immediately follow the WRITE statement since the information is stored for each output line. You can also use the HIDE area to store fields which do not appear in the list.

See this link if u want to have a clear picture

Hi,

Clicked records data can be accessed using the system field SY-LISEL.

hi,

Any way it is storedi n memory and not stored in any table, as data which gets stored in Hide is only for that session and once gets cleared after exit from session....if stored in table, it will be useful in further sessions which is not possbile.

Read below info provided by SAP.

As soon as the user selects a line for which you stored HIDE fields, the system fills the variables in the program with the values stored.

You can think of the HIDE area as a table, in which the system stores the names and values of all HIDE fields for each list and line number. As soon as they are needed, the system reads the values from the table.

During list creation, this statement stores the contents of the field <f> and the current line number in the internal HIDE area. When the cursor is positioned on a line in an interactive list event, the stored value is returned to the field <f>.

I hope it helps.

Best Regards,

Anver
