Hi,

AT SELECTION SCREEN:

when user enters the values in the fields of the selection screen and clicks on execution button,this event gets triggered.this event is basically for checking the value entered by the user for the field of the selection screen i.e data validity checking.this event is for entire selection screen.

AT SELECTION SCREEN OUTPUT:

This event is executed at PBO of the selection screen every time the user presses

ENTER - in contrast to INITIALIZATION . Therefore, this event is not suitable for setting selection screen default values.

Also, since AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT is first executed after the variant is imported (if a variant is used)

and after adopting any values specified under SUBMIT in the WITH clause, changing the report parameters

or the selection options in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT would destroy the specified values.

Here, however, you can use LOOP AT SCREEN or MODIFY SCREEN to change the input/output attributes of selection screen fields.

Example

Output all fields of the SELECT-OPTION NAME highlighted:

SELECT-OPTIONS NAME FOR SY-REPID MODIF ID XYZ.

....

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

LOOP AT SCREEN.

CHECK SCREEN-GROUP1 = 'XYZ'.

SCREEN-INTENSIFIED = '1'.

MODIFY SCREEN.

ENDLOOP.

The addition MODIF ID XYZ to the key word SELECT-OPTIONS

assigns all fields of the selection option NAME to a group you can read in the field SCREEN-GROUP1 .

At PBO of the selection screen, all these fields are then set to highlighted

Regards,

Sunil

hi,

At Selection-Screen: With this user can implement validations in ABAP reports. It triggers after processing user input still selection screen in active mode.

for eg :

AT SELECTIONSCREEN on Vendor.

IF Vendor-low < 500. or

Vendor - High>4000.

Message E000(0) with 'enter proper input'.

Endif.

In the PBO of the selection screen, the

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT : event is triggered. This event block allows you to modify the selection screen directly before it is displayed.Therefore, this event is not suitable for setting selection screen default values. Also, since AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT is first executed after the variant is imported (if a variant is used) and after adopting any values specified under SUBMIT in the WITH clause, changing the report parameters .you can use LOOP AT SCREEN or MODIFY SCREEN to change the input/output attributes of selection screen fields.

for eg :

Output all fields of the SELECT-OPTION NAME highlighted:

<!~~[if !supportEmptyParas]~~> <!~~[endif]~~>

SELECT-OPTIONS NAME FOR SY-REPID MODIF ID XYZ...

.AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

LOOP AT SCREEN

CHECK SCREEN-GROUP1 = 'XYZ'.

SCREEN-INTENSIFIED = '1'.

MODIFY SCREEN.

ENDLOOP.

pls reward if helpful.
