Dialog boxes are handled differently in HTML and SAP system:

  • In HTML, the current standard supports only one form of representation for HTML pages, which are always displayed completely in the Web browser. There are no dialog boxes.

  • In SAP transactions, dialog boxes are used frequently for input help, some error message types, security prompts and confirmations.

In earlier releases, it was not possible to implement dialog boxes in Web transactions, because they were always suppressed by sending an automatic OK code \0, but this default behavior is not always desirable, especially if the dialog box contains important information, or cannot be closed with the OK code.

To implement dialog boxes in Web transactions, you can use the service parameter ~popups:

Value

0

Dialog boxes are suppressed (default).

In this case, the ITS generates a template for the screen currently displayed in the dialog box.
