Changing the Standard GUI StatusLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

The GUI status of a selection screen is generated by the system. The SET PF-STATUS statement in the PBO event of the selection screen has no effect on the standard GUI status. If you want to use your own GUI status for a selection screen, or deactivate functions in the standard GUI status in exceptional cases, you can use one of the following function modules in the PBO event of the selection screen:

  • RS_SET_SELSCREEN_STATUS

    Sets another GUI status defined in the same ABAP program, or deactivates functions of the standard GUI status.

  • RS_EXTERNAL_SELSCREEN_STATUS

    Sets a GUI status defined in an external function group. You must use the SET PF-STATUS statement to set the status in a special function module in this function group. You must pass the name of the function module that sets the status as a parameter to the function module RS_EXTERNAL_SELSCREEN_STATUS.

For further information, refer to the function module documentation.
