Creating a Table Control

In the Screen Element Attributes window, assign aname to the table control and set initial (static)

attributes.

Some attributes are With column headers, Resizing,

Separators, With title, Line selection column, No offixed columns etc.

When creating a table control, the

system automatically proposes a

selection column.

A selection column allows users to

choose a line of the table control. The selection column elements

behave like a checkbox.

The field name must be entered in the

attributes of the table control.

Creating Table Control

Declare CONTROLS statementwith type TABLEVIEW.

The user can modify the Table

Control attributes at runtime.

Use REFRESH

CONTROL FROM SCREEN to

reset a table control to its initial

attributes.

Type TABLEVIEW has a complex structure containing

individual fields and an internal table

Processing Table Control

Database

Screen

A Table control can be processed with or without an internal table:

*Processing without an internal table*

PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.LOOP WITH CONTROL items.

MODULE ctrl_pbo.

ENDLOOP.

PROCESS AFTER INPUT.

LOOP WITH CONTROL items.

MODULE ctrl_pai.ENDLOOP.

Processing Table Control (Contd.)

*Processing with an internal table*

PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.

LOOP AT itab WITH CONTROL items CURSOR items-CURRENT_LINE.

ENDLOOP.

PROCESS AFTER INPUT.LOOP AT itab WITH CONTROL items.

MODULE ctrl_pai.

ENDLOOP.

The fields in the table control and the internal table work area needs to have the

same structure and names for automatic transport of data between the ABAP

program and the screen.

Field Transport in Table Controls

PBO

Transport ABAP table control

fields to screen fields

Transport remaining ABAP fields

to screen fields

PAI

Transport all fields except table

control and FIELD statement fields

Transport table control fields

Transport fields in FIELD

statements

Summary

A table control is an area on the screen where the system displays data in atabular form. It is processed using a loop.

Lines in a table control may contain dictionary table fields, keywords, input/output

fields, radio buttons, checkboxes, radio button groups, and pushbuttons.A line

can be up to 255 columns wide. Each column may have a title.

When creating a table control, the system automatically proposes a selectioncolumn.

A selection column allows users to choose a line of the table control.

When processing a table control in the program, you will also need to declare a

CONTROLS statement with type TABLEVIEW (in the TOP INCLUDE of your

program).

Summary (Contd.)

A Table control can be processed with or without an internal table.

You can use the Customizing button (in the top right corner) to save the

current setting (column widths and column positions) and use it as the initial

value for the next call.
