mandatory field on the screen

Former Member — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 16:38:47 GMT

hi folks,

I had an issue related to making a screen field mandatory. I tried by checking the property (Req field) in se51 for that field. it did not work, there are other fields in the screen which are made mandatory and their fields for ' reqd' option are not checked and do work as mandatory fields.

Is there another way to do it? I believe it has been done in a differetn way. I am trying to figure it out and had no success yet.

Also, the text of the such fields appears in red - I checked the display attributes, and did not find anything. Infact this screen is called through ITS as an web app.

Any leads or thoughts would be really helpful...

Thanks,

Vinu

HI,

check this if it is dialog programming..

Double click on screen number.

go to Element list Tab.

go to Special Attributes TAB.

In that Input Column for ur field provide it as Recommended. then it will be Mandatory.

Please close the thread if problem is solved and reward to all helpful answers.

Hi,

The screen field should be a 'Input' field and the property set as Required.

Did you activate the Screen after making the changes? Its working for me when I made a field required.

If it is appearing in RED means the validation for that field is failed. Check the validations.

Hi Vinu,

When you say that other fields on the screen are mandatory, how did you check that they are mandatory? Fields can be made mandatory using code that checks for the intial value and throws an error message.

So, please check if there are validation for initial fields than you can simply add this field also in the validations.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

screen flow logic:

PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.

module attri.

in abap.

module attri output.

loop at screen.

if screen-name = '<your screen field name in caps>'.

screen-required = '1'.

modify screen.

endif.

endloop.

endmodule.

Hi folks,

Really appreciate it. I shall award the points accordingly.

Also, coming to the mandatory fields marked 'Red' it comes from the htmo templates that are used to display the web apps using ITS. I got that using SE80 which lists the 'Internet Service' and various web templates used to display the SAP data.

I hope this info helps on ITS.
