ABAP offers two mechanisms for displaying and using table data in a screen. These mechanisms are table controls and step loops. Table controls and step loops are types of screen tables you can add to a screen in the Screen Painter.

Look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/dbac1d35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm">Table Controls</a> and <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/dbacac35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm">The Step Loop Technique</a>

Hi,

All fields of the current screen are stored in the system table SCREEN with their attributes.

The LOOP AT SCREEN statement places this information in the header line of the system table.

If you want to change the attributes, you must put back the changed header line with MODIFY SCREEN. However, you can only do this in the PBO module of a screen.

Bye,
