Hi,

A dialog program/transaction is a program that conducts a dialog with the user. In a typical dialog, the system displays a screen on which the user can enter or request information. As a reaction on the user input or request, the program executes the appropriate actions: it branches to the next screen, displays an output, or changes the database.

Unlike report, interface and conversion development, which generally entails the creation of one autonomous program which can be executed independently of other objects, dialog program development entails development of multiple objects, none of which can be executed on its own. Instead, all objects are linked hierarchically to the main program and are executed in a sequence dictated by the program.

A dialog program must offer:

• A user-friendly user interface

• Format and consistency checks for the data entered by the user

• Easy correction of input errors

• Access to data by storing it in the database.

Hi,

DIALOG Programming

You can also check the transaction ABAPDOCU which gives you lot of sample programs.

Also you can see the below examples...

Go to se38 and give demodynpro and press F4.

YOu will get a list of demo module pool programs.

One more T-Code is ABAPDOCU.

YOu can find more examples there.

See the prgrams:

DEMO_DYNPRO_TABLE_CONTROL_1 Table Control with LOOP Statement

DEMO_DYNPRO_TABLE_CONTROL_2 Table Control with LOOP AT ITAB

Hi,

In a dialog-driven program, the program flow is controlled by a series of user dialogs. Dialog-driven programs are typically started using transaction codes, which specify the first screen of the program. This initial screen allows users to enter or request information. The screen flow logic then reacts to the user input by calling various modules of ABAP processing logic. It then moves on to the next screen. The corresponding ABAP processing logic might contain statements for displaying data or updating the database.

Suppose a travel agent wants to book a flight. The agent enters the corresponding data on the screen. The system either confirms the desired request, that is, the agent can book the flight and the customer travels on the desired day on the reserved seat to the chosen destination, or the system displays the information that the flight is already booked up.

To fulfill such requirements, a dialog program must offer:

a user-friendly user interface

format and consistency checks for the data entered by the user

an easy way of correcting wrong entries

access to data by storing it in the database.
