Screen painter

Screen painter is used to design the screens. Using screen painter you can create text boxes, radiobuttons, pushbuttons etc.

Go to se38 and create a program which is of type module pool, then go to se51 give the same prg name which you created in se38 and give some screen number. Then go to layout and design the layout by dragging and dropping the textboxes, pushbuttons etc. then write code in PAI or PBO modules.

In PAI modules you will create code which will be triggerred when u perform some action in the output. In PBO module the code which you write gets triggered before the screen gets displayed.

After writing the code activate the program and create a transaction code in se93 for the program as it can't be executed by pressing F8.

Go through these sites so that u will get an idea.
