Manipulate screen fields in PBO

Instead of using loop at screen., you can now use the following calls to influence on the screen behaviour. The following examples are based on a class that inheritates from ZCL_UITOOLS

" hide a field by group or name
group( 'GR1' )->hide( ).
field( 'MATNR' )->hide( ).
" hide a selection or a parameter of a report screen
selection( 'S_MATNR' )->hide( ).
" set fields to no-input
group( 'GR1' )->set_noinput( ).
field( 'MATNR' )->set_noinput( ).
" make a field obligatory
group( 'GR1' )->set_required( ).
field( 'MATNR' )->set_required( ).

Set dropdown values in PBO

Using the field( ) method, you can set dropdown values for a list box

  field( 'GROUPNR' )->set_dropdown_values(
    value #(
      ( key = '1' text = 'First group' )
      ( key = '2' text = 'Second group' )
      ( key = '3' text = 'Third group' )
      ( key = '4' text = 'Forth group' ) ) ).

Simple Yes/No (/Cancel) queries

if ask( question = 'Is this OK?' ).
  message 'OK' type 'I'.
else.
  message 'not OK' type 'I'.
endif.
" verson that displays also a cancel button
try.
    if ask_with_cancel( question = 'Is this OK?' ).
      message 'OK' type 'I'.
    else.
      message 'not OK' type 'I'.
    endif.
  catch zcx_uitools_user_cancelled into data(e).
