Is 'SCREEN' structure or table ?

[coolomi1]

Can some one clear me .

Is  'SCREEN'  structure or table ?

IN DDIC it is structure .

So,  my question  is,  If SCREEN is structure then why do we  loop at it  .

Hi Om,

In data dictionary SCREEN is a structure but in report it acts like a table with header line.

So that's why we loop it inside the report and modify as per our requirement.

Hi,

Screen is a structure, just like a template to the database but doesn't store data in the database.It store data only at the runtime for the attributes of the screen. That is why we loop at it.

When your program load a internal table of type screen is loaded with the screen attributes, to check them we need to loop at it just like we do for other internal tables defined in the program.

Hope this helps.
