DYNPRO: Triggering PAI manually

[hubert_heitzer]

Hi,

my DYNPRO consits of 3 sections like shown below.

The CUSTOM CONTROL section is displaying an CL_GUI_ALV_GRID-object with a customized toolbar (by handling the event TOOLBAR of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID).

When a button of the customized toolbar is pressed, the handler for this action has to use data from the upper right section of the DYNPRO (named: "WE: Allgemeine Buchungsdaten" in the image above).

As there is no PAI executed after pressing the button, no data-transfer from DYNPRO to programm happens. So my handler works with data transferred before last PAI, which may be old.

Is there a way to trigger PAI manually in my handler?

I tried

  CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>set_new_ok_code
    EXPORTING
      new_code = 'DUMMY'.
   CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush.

like https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Triggering+PAI+manually told me, but PAI is not triggered after this peace of code.

Please help,

Hubert

By default, all ALV Grid control events don't trigger the PAI (system events). This may be changed for all events, via the parameter I_APPL_EVENTS = 'X' of the constructor (application events).

You may also transport explicitly the screen fields you want, via the function module DYNP_VALUES_READ.

CL_GUI_CFW=>SET_NEW_OK_CODE works well for me (no need of flush):

Yep,

  CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>set_new_ok_code
    EXPORTING
      new_code = 'DUMMY'.
   CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush.

works in a way that does not help me 😞

My handler (short version):

  METHOD alv_user_command.
    CASE e_ucomm. " importing parameter
      WHEN 'BOOK'.
        CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>set_new_ok_code
          EXPORTING
            new_code = 'DUMMY'.
        CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush.

        PERFORM book_purchase_order.
        PERFORM display_purchase_order_info.
      WHEN OTHERS.
    ENDCASE.
  ENDMETHOD.                    "ALV_USER_COMMAND

PAI has to take place before calling of FORM book_puchase_order, but it happens after METHOD alv_user_command is finished.

Set a new ok_code with

        CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>set_new_ok_code
          EXPORTING
            new_code = 'BOOK_PAI'.

and move your processing code

     WHEN 'BOOK_PAI'.
        PERFORM book_purchase_order.
        PERFORM display_purchase_order_info.

to the 'normal'

PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE user_command.

cl_gui_cfw=>set_new_ok_code is a 'simple' forward to leave the ALV events and go back to the standard flow logic.

Thanks Tibor,

your suggestion is somthing like we call:

from behind through the chest into the eye

in Germany, but it works fine.

By default, all ALV Grid control events don't trigger the PAI (system events). This may be changed for all events, via the parameter I_APPL_EVENTS = 'X' of the constructor (application events).

You may also transport explicitly the screen fields you want, via the function module DYNP_VALUES_READ.
