HIDE

The HIDE statement is one of the fundamental statements for interactive reporting. You use the HIDE technique when creating a basic list. It defines the information that can be passed to subsequent detail lists.

Hide is statement which staroe the information you specified in list to a Hide internal table and by that we can use the field swe stored.

GET CURSOR

Use the statements GET CURSOR FIELD and GET CURSOR LINE to pass the output field or output line on which the cursor was positioned during the interactive event to the ABAP program.

But by using GET CURSOR we can select the fields after list has been processed

Reward points.

Hi..

differences between 'HIDE' and 'GET CURSOR LINE' :

1. Hide will only return the Field values which are selected by user in the line.

GET CURSOR LINE will also return the Attributes like Cursor position and Length.

2. HIDE creates an internal table to store the field values in the memory

GET CURSOR LINE will not create any internal table.

NOTE: Both will return SY-LISEL . the content of the selected line.

REWARD IF HELPFUL.

HIDE

Syntax

HIDE dobj.

Effect

This statement stores the content of a variable dobj together with the current list line whose line number is contained in sy-linno in the hide area of the current list level. The data type of the variables dobj must be flat and no field symbols can be specified that point to rows of internal tables, and no class attributes can be specified. The stored values can be read as follows:

For each user action in a displayed screen list that leads to a list result, all the row values stored using HIDE - that is, the row on which the screen cursor is positioned at the time of the event - are assigned to the respective variables.

If a list row of an arbitrary list level is read or modified using the statements READ LINE or MODIFY LINE, all the values of this row stored using HIDE are assigned to the respective variables.

Notes

The HIDE statement works independently of whether the list cursor was set. In particular, variables for empty list rows can be stored - that is, rows in which the list cursor was positioned using statements like SKIP.

The HIDE statement should be executed immediately at the statement that has set the list cursor in the row.

Outside of classes, prior to release 7.0, for dobj constants and literals could still be specified. However, it was not possible to read them at list events and in the READ LINE statement.

GET CURSOR - Liste

Syntax

GET CURSOR { {FIELD field [field_properties]}

| {LINE line [line_properties]} }.

Effect

If this statement is specified during list processing, it will transfer - depending on the specification of FIELD or LINE - the name of the output field or the number of the list line on which the screen cusor in the currently displayed list is positioned (after the user action) into the variables field or line. For field, a character-type (prior to Release 6.10 flat) variable is expected; for line, a variable of the type i is expected. With the additions field_properties and line_properties, further information on the cursor position can be imported.

With the FIELD addition, only the names of global data objects of the ABAP program can be determined. If the cursor is positioned on the output of a data object that is not visible in the current context or a literal, field will be initialized. The latter has no influence on the other additions or on sy-subrc.
