Documentation

Definition

In the BAPI Explorer a subscreen and a subroutine can be specified for tools to copy the PBO or the PAI module to a normal screen. This is necessary because the normal module cannot be processed by the screen processor when nested subscreens are involved.

The form routines entered in this field are called from the BAPI Explorer at the time corresponding to the associated event (PAI / PBO), as specified in the flow logic.

The form routines must be defined in the same program as the corresponding screen and must not have any incompatible parameters.

The connection to the BAPI Explorer is established by calling specific function modules from the form routine. These belong to the function group SBF_BW.

Example

FORM BAPI_TOOLBOX_DEMO.

 CALL FUNCTION ......

 ....

 ....

 CALL FUNCTION ......

ENDFORM.
