internal table name which hide statement uses

[Former Member]

Hi,

To hide several variables, use chain HIDE statement.

As soon as the user selects a line for which you stored HIDE fields, the system fills the variables in the program with the values stored. A line can be selected.

¨ By an interactive event.

For each interactive event, the HIDE fields of the line on which the cursor is positioned during the event are filled with the stored values.

The HIDE area is a table, in which the system stores the names and values of all HIDE fields for each list and line number. As soon as they are needed, the system reads the values from the table.

I want to know how can we find the name of that internal table.

I don't know what it is or how to find it, but I'm curious why you need it. Can you explain your requirment?

hi Rich

i am undergoing abap training. and it is given as a part of an assingment to me.

let me correct if iam wrong.

the hide statement will use an internal table to store the field(s) which are given in the hide statement as they r printed on the screen through the write statement.

first of all i want to know can we be able to access that internal table or we can not access that table. it is system defined and system will take care of it.

Hi,

i think it is system defined.

The HIDE Technique

You use the HIDE technique while creating a list level to store line-specific information for later use. To do so, use the HIDE statement as follows:

HIDE <f>.

This statement places the contents of the variable <f> for the current output line (system field SY-LINNO) into the HIDE area. The variable <f> must not necessarily appear on the current line.

To make your program more readable, always place the HIDE statement directly after the output statement for the variable <f> or after the last output statement for the current line.

As soon as the user selects a line for which you stored HIDE fields, the system fills the variables in the program with the values stored. A line can be selected

by an interactive event.

For each interactive event, the HIDE fields of the line on which the cursor is positioned during the event are filled with the stored values.

by the READ LINE statement.

Yea, I agree with Ruthra, I'm pretty sure that you can't access it directly. Also, I don't see a reason why you would have to.
