Highlight Row(s) on Selection Screen

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus !!......After a user makes a selection on a selection screen they get a multple page listing.  From this listing they will select a row for table maintenance (Z-table) on that row.  They have to scroll down several pages sometime to find the row in question.  I know they could use a filter, but is there a way to give them a box that would contain the key field and then as they start to enter the key field data it would scroll down to that position roughly ?  The users claim this would be easier than using a filter.  Has anyone done this before ?

Thanks,

Greetings,

Interesting requirement. I am assuming your end user does not know the specific record they are looking for until AFTER the report is run and the ALV is displayed, otherwise they wouldnt even have to run the report in the first place right? Or are you saying they have to run the report in order to get to this said maintenance screen?

If the case is the former as opposed to the latter, why not create a custom button in the ALV display for 'Search for Record', and when clicked, the user is taken to the applicable table maintenance screen with the value prepopulated and ready for them to maintain the entry.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding your requirement here as well. If so, please elaborate.

Hi Evan,

Thank you for your response.  I am waiting to get back together with the user on this.  I need to see how they are running this before I can proceed.  I'll be back to answer your questions.....

Thanks,

Mike

Transaction SCDO (thats the letter O, not the number 0) has similar functionality. You have to hit enter (it doesn't automatically update as you type) but still it's a good example. Maybe you can show this to the users and see if it's acceptable.

Hi Alex......Yes, I believe this is very sinilar to what they want.  I will show SCDO to them sometime this week when I review the requirement with them.

Thanks,

Mike
