hi ,

As its said by many colleagues in SDN , there are not very major differences between Modulepools and screen painter .

The few differences are :

1) <b>Module pool is nothing but a pool ( series ) of screens . and Screen painter ( SE51 ) is a tool used for creating/designing screens .</b>

2) <u>While creating a modulepool you even need to create a transaction and assign this module pool program else the mpool program doesnt work . I think this is place we can say they are different .</u>

3) <b>If at all you create a screen in screen painter ( SE51 ) , that doesnot function by its own , you need to assign it to any of the executable programs or modulepool programs .Here is again a difference .</b>

Regards,

I don't think there is diffrence.

Module pool is nothing but list of modules and each modules contains flow logic.

Module pool program should contains atleast one screen.

Screen painter is nothing we can design the screen,it may contains fields ,push buttons.

Transaction code is SE51 .

You can say simply no diffrence ,screen painter is component in module pool.

Thanks

Hi ,

Screen Painter can be used in both Report Programs and Module pool programs .

The Conditions for the Module pool programs.

1. It should contain TOP Include.

2. It cannot be Executed without Transaction code.

3. It should contain atleast one screen.

Reward if it helpful.
