<b>Subscreen</b>

Subscreens are screens which can be embeded into another screen. These can be used and created with both selection screen as well as screen painter.

They differ from normal screens in the way that that they don't have OK_CODE field of ther own and there PBO and PAI transfer data to the ABAP program in which these screens were created and the cannot have module calls which change status or leave screen and module call AT EXIT-COMMAND AND E type function codes.

<b>Modal screen</b> (Modal dialog box)

It is a specialized interface for display of lists in a dialog box.

We can create dialog boxes that send messages to users. Dialog boxes are screens of type Modal dialog box

A modal dialog box can contain the following information:

detailed information about objects or processes

procedural instructions that tell the user what to do next and how to do it

diagnostic details that inform a user about the status or outcome of an operation

Regards,

Maha
