Set cursor problem.

gopalkrishna_baliga — Sun, 21 Aug 2005 06:40:45 GMT

I have a selection screen where I have a parameter and a select-option.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.

PARAMETERS : p_apofan type ymsm_apo_ahsname-apo_fan_name OBLIGATORY.

SELECT-OPTIONS s_werks FOR wa_werks.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.

i am validating data entry in these fields at screen-selection:

AT SELECTION-SCREEN.

IF sy-ucomm = ' ' or sy-ucomm = 'ONLI'.

PERFORM validate_apofan.

PERFORM validate_plant.

endif.

In the validation subroutine i have written validation code. If it not valid then show error message and set the cursor.

MESSAGE e023 WITH text-e04.

SET CURSOR FIELD 'S_WERKS'.

But the cursor is not setting in s_werks field. What is the problem?

I have even tried SET CURSOR FIELD 'S_WERKS-LOW' and even then it is not setting.

Why is this happening? What am I doing wrong? how to set the cursor on a field in this situation?

Please help me.

try

at selection-screen on s_werks .

do the validation for s_werks here

at selection-screen on p_apofan .

do the validation for p_apofan here

with this method you just need to issue the error message. no need the set the cursor , it will automatically happen.

Hi,

You can't use "SET CURSOR" in PAI event ( AT SELECTION-SCREEN is PAI ). You can use "SET CURSOR" in PBO (AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT ). Also when you use SELECT-OPTIONS is better to specify the field (s_werks-low or s_werks-high). If you use error message in PBO, your screen will not be processed, so it's better to use in PBO anther type of message ( type "S").

If you find some answers useful, please assign reward points.
