Hello yasu_1096

SET PF-STATUS is an ABAP statement that sets GUI status.

PF-STATUS is the GUI status definition that is set with SET PF-STATUS statement.

Best regards

The term "PF Status" is very old (comes from old time of mainframe systems, PF meant "Program Function"), and for a long time it's called "GUI status" but the ABAP statement SET PF-STATUS was not renamed for compatibility reason (same as the obsolete ABAP statements "AT PF01" to "AT PF24").
