Overview of Screen Layout

Once you have created a screen, you can start designing the screen layout.

You do this as follows:

Select the ABAP Dictionary or program fields that you want to use on the screen. For further details, see Selecting Fields.

Place any further screen elements in the work area.

Once you have placed a screen element on the screen, you need to specify its attributes. For details of how to do this, see Working with Element Attributes.

Use the Check function to ensure that your screen layout conforms with the SAP ergonomic standards.

Note

Screen size is measured in characters from a screen's top left corner. The standard screen size is 21 lines by 83 columns. The maximum screen size is 200 lines by 240 columns. The system maintains the screen title, menu bar, status bar and command field separately. These are not affected if you change the screen size.
