Dictionary/program fields

On this screen, you can reference table fields from the ABAP/4 Dictionary or fields from the generated version of the relevant program (module pool or report).

You can copy fields from the ABAP/4 Dictionary to the screen as templates (input/output elements) and/or field texts (text elements). Fields from a program can of course only be used as templates.

Selecting the table
-------------------

In the screen header line, you first specify the table name or field name. You can specify field names generically, but not table names.

The pushbuttons Get from Dict. and Get from program allow you to search for the table or field in the ABAP/4 Dictionary or in the program.

Displaying the fields
---------------------

The found fields are displayed in a tabular list containing the following elements:

- Field name
- Short text (ABAP/4 Dictionary fields only),
- Format and length of template
- Length of 4 field texts (short, medium, long and header - ABAP/4
Dictionary fields only)
- Currently selected field text

If the field name is too long to be displayed in its entirety, you can still view it in full by clicking on the field name. The same applies to the short text and the field text.

Note: When searching for table fields in the list, you can enter the
field name in the input field and choose Find in list.
The system then shifts the list up/down until the field name
beginning with the character string you entered becomes the
first entry.

Selecting and copying fields
----------------------------

To select and copy fields, you must be in change mode.

You can choose the field components you want for each line individually by using the checkboxes and radio buttons. If you choose a template of the type CHAR with length 1, you can use one of the last three radio buttons Copy as text, Copy as checkbox, Copy as radio button to specify whether you want to copy a field as a text element, as a checkbox or as a radio button - if required, together with its field text.

If the template of a field already exists on the screen, the template checkbox is selected and no further input is possible. If one of the field texts already exists on the screen, the relevant radio button is set.

The selection column on the left allows you to select single lines or blocks of lines for transfer to the screen. A red cross is displayed if you have not chosen at least one field component on the line. As long as any line is highlighted in this way, you cannot transfer any fields.

Fields which are

- blank (i.e. have no text),
- not allowed on screens or
- already exist on the screen (template and field text),

become inactive and cannot be selected for transfer to the screen. In this case, the selection button shows a castle.

When you press Copy, the chosen field components are copied to the screen. By clicking (and, if necessary, moving) the elements in the fullscreen editor, you can define exactly where you want these fields to be displayed. If you copy several fields, they are placed together as a group. You must then place them accordingly.

If the system cannot place fields on the screen so that they do not collide with each other, a message is displayed. You must then repeat the transfer of these fields to another position in the fullscreen editor.

Note: In the "Create" palette of the fullscreen editor, you can use
the reset key, to cancel the transfer of Dictionary/program
fields before they are placed on the screen.

Sorting a table by field name
-----------------------------

You can select the column of the field name by clicking on the button below the header. To start the sort, press the left button in the application toolbar below the table.

Switching on checkboxes / radio buttons of a column
---------------------------------------------------

You can switch on all checkboxes / radio buttons of a table column in a single operation (checkboxes can also be switched off in the same way). To do this, you select the appropriate column by clicking on the button below the header. You then switch on (or off) using the pushbuttons in the application toolbar. If no line is selected, the switching on (off) process applies to the entire line.

Input focus and key navigation
-------------------------------

The input focus is indicated by a dotted rectangle. You can change the focus either by clicking with the mouse or by pressing the appropriate keys on your keyboard:

- "TAB" switches the focus to the next field on the right which is
ready for input.
- "SHIFT + TAB" switches the focuse to the next field on the left which
is ready for input.
- "CTRL + TAB" switches the focus to the top of the next group.
- "SHIFT + CTRL + TAB" switches the focus to the next element.

Within the table, you can also use the arrow keys.
