Query regarding PF-STATUS

[Former Member]

Hi,

While creating a menu using SE41 transaction, there's an option of "FAST PATH" when we try to assign icons, info text, etc.

Whats the significance of "FAST PATH" option?

Thanks & Regards,

FAST PATH is the way of accessing the menu using the KEY BOARD. Its like Alt + F and then press S for saving in case of MS - Word.

Fastpaths allow you to enter a menu path using a single letter or sequence of letters instead of the mouse.

Example:

You can choose the function Delete from the Edit menu by entering D.

You can also enter the entire menu path using the letter combination preceded with a period. In our example above, you would enter .DE in the command field.

Using the Past Path you can access the Function keys also. that you mentioned while creating the status. after creating the Button you need to assign the Function keys, those short cuts you can directly access using fast path.

Hi Rajesh,

Fastpath is a kind of shortcut key which enable us to access menu using keyboard rather than mouse..

Suppose that you are creating a menu(File) and create a menu item (New). When you double click on the Function code, they will ask for Fast Path, Just give any of the letter (in NEW , you can give N , E or W ). Whichever character you give, you will get an underline below the character in the menu when you execute it.

In our case of File-> New , you can use the Alt+F then type whichever key you have given for fastpath and then OK CODE will be filled with the Function Code you have given..

HOpe your query is solved.

Hi rajesh,

1. Fast path are only meaningful

if there are MENUS---SUBMENUS

2. If only toolbar is there,

then fast path won't work.

3. If menu-->submenus are there,

then eg.

Alt + E = EDIT Menu

<b> S = Select All</b>
