Definition

The switch PSYST-IINIT is set to YES the first time you display a record. It allows special PBO processing of records such as is the case when new default values are added.

The switch is set to NO in the POST_INPUT_CHECKS module at the end of the flow logic.
If the infotype has a special logic, e.g. LEAVE SCREEN for infotypes with loop processing, the switch in the infotype-specific module must be set to NO.

NOTE: If you move to the 'overview' screen while processing a particular record, PSYST-IINIT is always be set to NO when you return to the original record. This makes its impossible for you to change default values that have already been changed, cf. variable PSYST-NSELC.

Example

You have created a new Basic Pay record and overwritten the default wage types.
The system then informs you that this entry will delete a record. You then use the 'overview' function to display the existing record.
When you return to the record you were processing, the variable PSYST-IINIT is set to NO because the default values may no longer be displayed.
The variable PSYST-NSELC is set to YES since the texts must be read again.
