  Screen Control Based on Control Data

If screen control is effected depending on control data, you have the following options:

  • Replace the standard screen with an alternative screen

  • You can control the ready for input status of individual screen fields.

  • You can hide individual screen fields.

There are different types of screen control:

  • General

  • Dependant on the employee’s organizational data

  • Dependant on the subtype for the infotype record.

For this, maintain the value of Modification group 3 for the screen fields in question in the Screen Painter.

In Modification group 3 , you assign a value between 001 and 050 to each screen field. Use the same value for screen fields that are modified in the same way. In the case of an input/output field, the same value is used as for the pertinent key word and a long text that may have been displayed. If screen fields cannot be modified using table Infotype Screen Control (T588M), assign the value SPACE in Modification group 3 .

You then use table T588M to determine the following:

  • Whether and which alternative screens are used

  • How the individual screen fields are modified
