making a screen element ready for input

sudha_naik — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 03:48:57 GMT

Hello All,

I have an input/output field in a screen. I would like to have it open for input which means, I should be able to enter values in to it during runtime. I have made the check for Input Field in the attributes of the screen element. Still during runtime it is grayed out.

Kindly help me by suggesting whether I should make any other configuration settings for making this field active.

Thanks in advance

Sudha

Hi,

Check the input/ouput field attributes..Make sure the output only check box is not checked..And the Input check box is checked..

Hi,

Did you create a Input/output field or label..

Also in the PBO check in the debugging...if there is any code that is disabling the field..

Thanks,

hi Sudha,

I hope all the settings you have done for making the field input during runtime ... esp in the attributes . If still it is not allowing for input then , use a loop at screen .... end loop stmt in the PBO of your screen and try to make the field accept user entries ..

here is a sample :

loop at screen .

if screen-name = ' SCREEN FIELD NAME '.

screen-input = 1.

modufy screen .

endloop.

hope this should solve your problem .

Reward if helpful !

Regards,

Thanks, the issue is resolved. Even though the screen status was shown as active, it was not activated. We activated it again and the screen was ready for input.
