Hi,

Create subscreen area in screen 2000 and create two subscreens. Call subscreen based on subtype in PBO module of screen 2000.

we can create the feature for Z infotype to call different screens on different subtypes.

Goto PE03 and create the feature (structure name pme04)

then go to spro -> personal management -> pers admin-> cust user interface -> change screen modi.

then go to ur module pool and put the module pool name and the name of the featureu2026

keep the standard screen as 2000 described in the Feature and for each subtype give its screen number in the Alternative screen in the variable key give the value given under the subtype in the Feature created for the infotypeu2026eg in this case for the subtype 0001 the variable key is u2018 u2018 and in case of subtype 0004 the value of variable key is 20

do the same for all the subtypes and proceed.

The second way of making the entries for the infotype is to execute the transaction SM31

And the open the table V_T588M it would ask as the module pool name for the Infotype created.fill the netries.
