HI,

Modal Dialog Box: screen appears as popup.

Selection screen: If you activate this attribute, the screen is flagged as a selection screen. This happens anyway for automatically generated selection screens.

This attribute is intended for internal use only.

Hi,

Modal Dialog Box:

Identifies a specialized interface for display of lists in a dialog box.

Selection Screen:

Identifies an automatically created screen. Selection screens request values for database selection criteria before a report is started. The system sets this attribute automatically.

Hi,

Modal Dialog Box:

A normal screen occupies a whole GUI window. Modal dialog boxes only cover a part of

a GUI window. Their interface elements are also arranged differently. Selection screens

are generated automatically from the definition in the ABAP program. You may not define

them using the Screen Painter. A subscreen is a screen that you can display in a

subscreen area on a different screen in the same ABAP program.

Syntax:

CALL SCREEN <scrn>

STARTING AT <X1> <Y1>

ENDING AT <X2> <Y2>.

Selection Screen:

A selection screen is a special screen, created using ABAP statements. You can only call them

using the

CALL SELECTION-SCREEN <dynnr> ...

statement. The selection screen is processed (reaction to user input in the selection screen

events) in the calling program.

Hi,

Modal dialogue box : Screen appears as pop-up and whatever push-buttons you want they will be displayed at the bottom of the screen and not at the top. i.e., whichever pushbuttons you have defined they will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.

thanks,
