pop-up in module pool program

[Former Member]

I created a module pool program for inserting/changing/deleting a database record through a table control on a screen. Now everything is working fine. When I executed that module pool program by a transaction (there is only one screen in this program which has table control on it), I would like that screen to come-up as a pop-up which I am not able to figure how to do it. Any ideas?

Help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You will need to change the screen to a "Dialog Box" on the attributes tab of the screen. Then you need to call the screen this way.

call screen 100 starting at 1 1
                ending   at 20 10.

Well I guess this is a module pool, right? Not sure. If this initial screen was to be a pop up, it probably would have been better to do a regular report program and use call screen. Still isn't too late to do that. THen you could just CALL SCREEN directly after the START-OF-SELECTION event.

I did exactly what Rich said. (created report instead of 'M' program and called screen in the starting). Now the functionality is working perfect.

But the pop-up is not coming as expected. The screen is being called and table control is somewhere inside this screen which I have to drag the scroll bars to be able to find it out.

Any setting I can play around with to see?

Thanks.

Hi,

in screen painter adjust the table control on the screen to fit into the call screen co-ordinates.

Nuren,

You need to create a screen as a 'modal dialog box'.

Then code:

CALL SCREEN STARTING AT <top left>

ENDING AT <bottom right>.

in se51 create the screen , and check the radio button Dialog box. and place alll the components...and then save /activate it.

now in your program call the screen like this..

call screen 200 starting at 1 5   
                ending at 30 20.
