issue with checkbox in module pool program

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I am writing a module pool program in which i have a checkbox. Now when i select the checkbox i want a certain field to get disabled. I am achieving this part by loop through the screen in the PBO event. But then when i select the checkbox The PAI executes and performs some validations on other screen field which is a business area field that comes after the checkbox. I don't want this validation to fire. How do i go about controlling it. It is a mandatrory field validation. Kindly help me with a suitable response. Thanks

Hi,

Dont make that field has manditory. Instead display a message programatically to the user if the data is not entered.

Otherwise firs the validation will go to the manditory field first and it will block the module pool screen

I am doing the validation programatically, but then my cursor does not stop on that particular field instead it goes to the first field in the screen.

hi,

if you want the mandatory field validation on the field.

don't do it manually.

in the field attribute of the field make it as "required".

hope it helps.

You can try this way

in the properties of the checkbox (by double click on the check box in layout editor) you can find FctCode . Here you put some 3 letter word as like CHK

Then in the PAI

if sy-ucomm eq 'CHK'.
 if gv_check_box ne 'X'.  " Blank
     " do your validation here 
endif.
endif.
