Why save_ok = ok_code.

[Former Member]

Hi all,

foy any reasons - which I cannot remember - it is adviced to copy the OK_Code into save_ok.

e.g: BCALV_EDIT_04

Could anyboly pls. explain why this is advised?

Thx, Regards Mario

In the program BCALV_EDIT_04, duplicating the ok_code value is useless.

Generally speaking, when you press Enter (or a scroll key in a table ontrol), the ok code (and even sy-ucomm) is not reset, it's why it may be useful to clear the ok code before displaying the screen: the most convenient way is to do it at the beginning of the PAI (in case there's a warning/error message during the PAI, the PBO wouldn't be triggered).
