Calling Selection Screens
Selection screens can be called as follows:

by the statement SUBMIT

as a selection screen of a report transaction

as the initial screen of a dialog transaction

by the statement CALL SELECTION-SCREEN

Each call starts selection screen processing .

Called by SUBMIT
When an executable program is called using the statement SUBMIT , the standard selection screen or the selection screen specified in the statement is called between the events INITIALIZATION and START-OF-SELECTION , if it contains at least one input field or pushbutton.

Called by report transaction
When a report transaction is executed, the associated executable program is also started internally using SUBMIT and the selection screen defined for the transaction is called between the events
INITIALIZATION and START-OF-SELECTION .

Called by dialog transaction
If a selection screen of the associated program is defined as the initial screen in a dialog transaction, the transaction code is used to call the selection screen when this program is executed. This screen is not handled like the first screen in a
dynpro sequence however (see
Selection Screen Processing ).

Note
You should not use a selection screen as the initial screen of a dialog transaction, since this does not generally produce the expected program behavior.
