Advantage of MODULE POOL over EXECUTABLE PROGRAM

[Former Member]

Hi experts

Any one pls tell me the exact advantage of MODULE POOL over EXECUTABLE PROGRAM?

When we are able to do the same programing logic with program type as E , why do we need to select type M?

what exactly makes the difference between the two programing

types ( E & M )?

points will be rewarded

thanks in advance

usually executable prgs are used as reports for making decision in high level management.

but modulepool is used for posting the data like updating the database using sequence of screens with subscreens, tabstrip and table controls.

Hi,

In executable program, It is very difficult to maintain screen elements (Tabstrips, table control and etc.)

But in module pool programming, by using screen painter we can do this easily.

if you maintain multiple screens in single program also need module pool program.

Example, if you need multiple selection screens by pressing push buttons or etc.

hi,

Report Programs:

1. Reports are stand alone programs.

2. We use reports to read data base tables & represent results in Lists

3. Reports are collection of processing blocks, controlled by System calls depending on events.

4.Reports can call Dialogue programs and vice versa.

Dialog Programming

1.Dialogue programs are not stand alone programs. (we

have to link the dialogue programs to at least one or

more SCREENS & TRANSACTION CODES)

2. We use Dialogue Programs to read & change

Database tables.

3.Dialogue programs are controlled by Screen flow logic.

4.Dialogue program is also called as Module pool program

or TRANSACTION.

5.These module pools are separated in to PBO and PAI

events.

Rewrad Points if usefull
