You do the Authority Check in INITIALIZATION event instead of AT SELECTION SCREEN OUTPUT.

When the check fails .. give a sucess message and then write LEAVE PROGRAM.

This will solve ur problem.

well thats not the common practice.

why would you permit someone to see a selection screen?

normally you just avoid that he can go on.

anyway normal practice would be to create a trasaktion for your report. Transactions can be checked against authority object and he wouldnt even be able to get to the TA.

BUT if the user has the right for SE38 and the right to RUN reports he can see it as well, so talk to your basis guys about that subject.

Hi,

You use the authority chcek in AT SELECTION SCREEN OUTPUT only but if authority chcek fails before raising the error messageHide all elements of screen by using LOOP AT SCREEN.

LOOP AT SCREEN.

SCREEN-ATIVE = 0.

MODIFY SCREEN.

ENDLOOP.

Then this way you wont get the selection screen.
