Definition

You must specify a name for a screen container if

  • the container is a subscreen area or a table control. In this case, the name is a necessary attribute of the screen element. The screen element is addressed by this name in the flow logic.
  • the container contains not only elementary screen fields, but also other containers.
    At present, this applies only if a step loop contains a radio button group. Specifying a (fictitious) name is necessary to incorporate the radio button group into the step loop.

In all other cases, it is not necessary to specify a name.

The screen itself (the container with the type DYNPRO) has the blank name.
