Overview documentation Checking Screens Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

In order to check a screen's syntax, data consistency, or layout, you use the Check function.

Syntax Checks

Choose Screen ® Check ® Syntax to check the syntax within the Screen Painter (attributes and flow logic). If an error occurs, the system displays the error type in the status line and positions the cursor at the relevant location. If the syntax check runs without error, the system returns a success message. You can then Save or Generate your screen.

Screen Consistency

Choose Screen ® Check ® Consistency to check data consistency between a module pool, the ABAP Dictionary, and a screen. The system checks whether the flow logic contains an object (field or module) or the field list contains a field that is not defined in the ABAP Dictionary or the module pool.

The Consistency function also checks the consistency of any screen attributes specified in the fields Next screen and Cursor position. In particular, it checks whether the next screen that you have specified actually exists, and whether the field specified as the cursor position exists.

The Consistency function also checks the search help, reference field, and other attributes. In this way, you can detect errors in advance and eliminate them. The system displays the errors in a hit list.

Violations of SAP Standards

If you choose Screen ® Check ® Layout, the system checks whether the layout of your screen (in the fullscreen editor) corresponds to the SAP ergonomic standards. Some of the checks include:

After a check, the system displays a hit list sorted by priority. For each error, the system offers a solution. However, these errors do not influence the processing of the screen. You can generate a screen regardless of layout errors.
