hi,

SY-STEPL

Index of current row in a screen table (table control). Is set at every loop pass. Outside a loop, for example during the POV event for a table row, SY-STEPL is not set appropriately.

example in the following link

Hi,

The system variable SY-STEPL to find out the index of the screen table row that is currently being processed. The system sets this variable each time through the loop. SY-STEPL always has values from 1 to the number of rows currently displayed. This is useful when you are transferring field values back and forth between a screen table and an internal table. You can declare a table-offset variable in your program (often called BASE, and usually initialized with SY-LOOPC) and use it with SY-STEPL to get the internal table row that corresponds to the current screen table row.

**SCREEN FLOW LOGIC**

PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.

LOOP.

MODULE READ_INTTAB.

ENDLOOP.

PROCESS AFTER INPUT.

LOOP.

MODULE MODIFY_INTTAB.

ENDLOOP.

**ABAP MODULES**

MODULE READ_INTTAB.

IND = BASE + SY-STEPL - 1.

READ TABLE INTTAB INDEX IND.

ENDMODULE.

MODULE MODIFY_INTTAB.

IND = BASE + SY-STEPL - 1.

MODIFY INTTAB INDEX IND.

ENDMODULE.

Hope this helps..

Regards,

Sharath
