Dynpro Screen Elements that Can Be LoggedLocate this document in the navigation structure

A list of screen elements in Dynpro applications that can have read access logged.

The main scope of Read Access Logging is to log output fields on result screens. Optionally, also the input fields of the corresponding selection or query screens can be logged. Logging and defining a log context are supported for such selection or query screens and their result screens if both are implemented and processed in the same program. Please note that one business transaction may be processed using more than one program. In such cases, logging of the input field is not possible.

The table below shows the basic screen elements that can be logged in Dynpro applications.

Screen Element Comment
Input fields Value of input field
Output fields Value of output field
Radio buttons For each radio button, a value is logged (true/false). Note that each radio button is logged separately. There is no logging of entire groups of radio buttons.
Checkboxes Value of checkbox
Dropdown lists Technical key value with marker for selected key. Note that the texts from the user interface are not logged.
Table controls Columns of table control
Parameters Value of the parameters of a selection screen
Select-Options Value of each select-option of a selection screen (list of sign, option, low/high values)
Subscreens As subscreens consist of the same elements as screens, logging takes place for the elements of subscreens in the same way as for screens

The table below shows the controls that can be logged:

Control Comment
ALV grid Columns of a display-only ALV grid control
Tab strip Same logging behavior as for subscreens. If switching tabs happens on front-end, logging is done together for all tabs. If, on the other hand, switching tabs happens on application level, the tabs are logged separately. In addition, an OK Code can only be logged when switching tabs happens on application level.

It is not possible to log other screen objects, such as the following:

  • Value help (F4 help)
  • ABAP lists
  • Input-enabled ALV grid
  • ALV tree
  • File download
