Defining Page Attributes for the First Page 
Defining Page Attributes for the First Page
Use
Page attributes are visible both in the layout and in the event handlers for a page. Page attributes are used to store data obtained by the standard handler OnInitialization, and to make this data accessible to the layout and to the other event handlers.
In this step, you define the page attributes
authorlname and authorfname. These page attributes are needed to process the user input. Once the user has chosen a button on the user interface, these attributes are assigned the values the user entered for the author’s surname and first name.If you are using ABAP as the scripting language, you can access the variables directly from the code for this page.
Procedure
The page attributes for this page are not marked as automatic, as there is no predecessor page from which the values could be taken.
A page attribute that has the flag automatic is automatically assigned a value from the calling URL, or from another page via the navigation interface, when the page is called. The prerequisite for this is that there is a parameter with the same name and a value in the URL or in the navigation interface.
For more information about page attributes and their visibility, see the reference documentation under
Page Attributes.
The following is an example of the value for the page attribute being transferred from another page via the navigation interface, in the case where there is an automatic attribute called
authorfname in the target page: navigation->set_parameter( 'authorfname' ).
Now define the event handlers for the first page.
