Hi,

Screen Groups are used to group the screen elements to do the processing common to these groups.

These processing may contains raising the error for validation or for display purpose i.e. inactivating some screen elements as per requirements

And these 4 figure for screen group is by SAP only.

Overview of all SCREEN fields:

Field Length Type Meaning

SCREEN-NAME 30 C Field name

SCREEN-GROUP1 3 C Evaluation of

modification group 1

SCREEN-GROUP2 3 C Evaluation of

modification group 2

SCREEN-GROUP3 3 C Evaluation of

modification group 3

SCREEN-GROUP4 3 C Evaluation of

modification group 4

SCREEN-REQUIRED 1 C Field input mandatory

SCREEN-INPUT 1 C Field ready to accept input

SCREEN-OUTPUT 1 C Field will be displayed

SCREEN-INTENSIFIED 1 C Field highlighted

SCREEN-INVISIBLE 1 C Field invisible

SCREEN-LENGTH 1 X Field length

SCREEN-ACTIVE 1 C Field active

So all the Groups have the same characteristics...

Refer this sample example to have a better understanding of the groups...

selection-screen begin of block b1.

parameters:p1 type c as check box modif id 'ABC'.

selection-screen end of block b1.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

LOOP AT SCREEN .

IF SCREEN-GROUP1 = 'B1'. " block B1

IF SCREEN-GROUP2 = 'ABC'.

SCREEN-INPUT = 0.

MODIFY SCREEN.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

SAP has provided you some 4 Groups to use for the screen elements

for example on your screen there are some 15 elements and you can groups them into 4 SCREEN GROUPS and put some conditions on them to display/not to display.

Modification groups 1 to 4 allows you to group fields together. You can process them all at the same time in the program using SCREEN modification statements.

If, for example, you want to make all fields that of the modification group 2 with the ID 222 invisible, you can define the following code in the PBO module:

LOOP AT SCREEN.

IF SCREEN-GROUP2 = '222'.

SCREEN-INVISIBLE = '1'.

MODIFY SCREEN.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

If your question is answered kindly close the thread and award points.

Hi,

A screen group is nothing but containing 'N' no.of screen elements will be available. That means text box, table control ,label like taht only.

For that particular screen group u can maintain loop at screen like that.
