Screen modification, extra table field visibility

[Former Member]

Hi!

We have a custom field in a standard SAP table and now we want a couple of screens to show the data in that field.

We know the screen numbers for those screens which shows table entries.

My question is: How do make a standard SAP screen that displays table contents, to also display my table field?

Is it in PBO modules, PAI modules or Subroutines that I have to search for the code that populates table elements to make them visible?

thanks in advance,

regards

Baran

Hello Baran

Assuming that table entries are displayed in a table control then you have to modify the dynpro containing the table control. For example, you have appended new fields to a SAP table. These fields will not show up automatically in a table control displaying this SAP table, but you have to add them as new columns to the table control.

Quite often the SAP table is not used directly in dynpro but corresponding structures are used. If, for example, the table control uses a structure instead of the DB table then you have to append the new fields to the structure as well.

So your main focus will not be the modules but the element list of the dynpro.

Hi Baran,

You have to code bothin PBO and PAI sections of the screen. But you cannot code wherever you want. You have to search for customer exits in te code and write your code only there.

There will be atleast 2 customer exits(one in PAI and one in PBO) if there is a possibility in the first place.
