ABAP CONTROLS Statement syntax, information and example SAP source code

CONTROLS

Short Reference

ABAP Syntax:
Declaration of Table Controls

1 CONTROLS contrl TYPE TABLEVIEW USING SCREEN dynnr.

Declaration of Tabstrip Controls

2 CONTROLS contrl TYPE TABSTRIP.

What does it do? For each dynpro used in the program, all table controls and tabstrip controls defined there have to be declared in the declaration part using the statement CONTROLS
, otherwise a non-handleable exception is raised when the dynpro in question is called. contrl expects the name of the control defined in the dynpro to be specified directly. After TYPE ,
TABLEVIEW , or TABSTRIP must be used to specify whether it is a table control or a tabstrip control.
For each control, the CONTROLS statement creates a structure with the name of the control in the ABAP program. The structure components enable the respective control to be processed in the ABAP program.
Latest notes: For table controls, corresponding loops have to be programmed in the dynpro flow logic . For tabstrip controls, suitable subscreens
have to be called.
Splitter control s cannot be declared using the CONTROLS statement. Instead the class CL_DYNPRO_SPLITTER is used.
