Right-Aligning Column Titles

The right-alignment of column titles causes technical problems:

If you maintain the column title in the ABAP/4 Dictionary, you cannot enter it right-aligned (for example, _ _ _ _ amount). To right-align the column title, you can therefore:

either display this in a continuous header line in the Screen Painter (although this means that you do not have field documentation from the ABAP/4 Dictionary), or
make the description as short as the German text and right-align it above the values of the table (although this creates problems with the translation).

As both alternatives are problematic, they should only be used in exceptional circumstances.

Screen Painter Flags

Please refer to Input/Output Fields (Control Elements) for an overview of the Screen Painter flags for table fields.

Technical Restrictions

For Templates in Step Loops

At present, you cannot implement two templates in step loops as a graphical selection field (such as Checkboxes (Control Element) or Radio Buttons (Control Element)) with a field name. Only the graphical selection field can be implemented as a graphical element. As a consequence, the checkbox cannot be activated by clicking the field name.

For Radio Buttons in Step Loops

For step loops, the system does not set any default radio buttons. Furthermore, the task has to set the radio buttons during the scroll action.
