Screens are the interface you develop to get user input for selection criteria.

Menu painter is a tool to design user interface.

To run a report program you may need to restrict the list of output values that you may need... Hence you use screens with input boxes so that you may get what you really need to have...

Ps: Reward points if helpful.

Screens are the most general type of user dialog that you can use in ABAP programs. You do not define them in ABAP programs, but instead in the Screen Painter. A screen consists of the input/output mask and the flow logic. You can define screens for any program with type 1, M, or F.

Screens have attributes(like Program, screen number, etc) and elements(like Text fields, Checkboxes, Radiobuttons, etc).

Every screen has its PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT(PBO) and PROCESS AFTER INPUT(PAI) events where you can write your own code.

For example, you can initialize the screen fields in PBO event and capture the user nput in PAI event.

Hi,

For working with screen,you just create a module pools program.

In that create a screen and create modules in PBO and PAI.

PBO means Process before Output.

PAI means Process After Input.

In the layout of the screen,just desing the screen with text box and other things needed.

You can execute Module pool program(in SE38) by creating transaction for the same.

To create a screen.Just write in the program

call screen 9000.

Then double click 9000.You can create a screen.

Hi,

Menu painter is designed through se41 transaction

this is basically used for user actions like creation

of buttons on application toolbar.

When userv click on say Ex save than record are saved

to database.

To have user interaction through screen we create

module pool program.

We can asign some screens for this program with some

input box and push buttons through se51 .

This consists of PBO (Process before output)

PAI ( Process After Input)

POH ( Process on Help request)

POV ( Process on value request)

Try to create a sample program using ABAPdocu

example.
