How do I create a sub-menu item

[Former Member]

Hi. I'm fairly new to ABAP so be merciful. I would like to know how to create a sub-menu on the menubar(but NOT programatically). I can create regular menu items in the menu editor(I don't know if that's the proper name) but I would like to have the arrow that appears next to the menu items to point to a list of submenu items. Thanks for your time.

Hi Kingsley,

I suppose your doubt is how to create a sub-menu in the output list. You can do that by using the statement

SET PF-STATUS.

so write in the program,

START-OF-SELECTION.

SET PF-STATUS 'MYMENU'.

Now you can do in 2 methods.

1) double click on 'MYMENU'. It will go Menu Painter.

There will be Menu bar, Application toolbar , Function keys.

Click on Menu bar.

Create a Menu , say Menu1. Double click on it and you usually give the FUNCTION CODE & TEXT for creating a menu.

But in this case, you shouldn't give the Function Code.

Just write the text and double click . Now a new menu with Function Code and Text comes. That is it..

Just Give the Function Code and Texts.

Save it and activate it..

2) goto se41 and give the name of the program.

You will be go to Menu Painter.Rest of the steps are same as 1).

In the program, you should write as below.

start-of-selection.

write 'List'.

set pf-status 'MEN'.

at user-command.

case sy-ucomm.

when 'FC2'.

leave program.

endcase.

Hope your query is solved.

Regards,

Sylendra.

Thank you for your reply. I will try your suggestions. Why doesn't SAP let you create a sub-menu in the same place as the regular menu?

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. Problem solved with Sylendra's solution. I used the first one. I will try the second one in another program so I can have the experience of doing both. Thanks again.
