Field Selection Control Templates (Long Text)

Use

Meaning

Each character of the string controls a field group of the address maintenance screen according to the character's position and the number of the field group.

Example

The 22nd character controls the fields to which "022" is assigned as the fourth modification group (SCREEN-GROUP4).

The assignments are identical on screens 0100, 0200, and 0300 of function group SZA1 (module pool SAPLSZA1).

Value range

The following control characters are possible:

- (minus) = hide: The field, including its keyword, is hidden (and the screen is automatically compressed if the line contains no other visible fields).
. (period) = optional field: the input field is processed as a normal optional field, the keyword is displayed two-dimensionally.

A field which is only maintained in the detail popup only appears on the main main maintenance screen if it is not empty.
+ (plus) = required field: the input field is handled as a required field; the keyword is displayed two-dimensionally.
* (asterisk) = display only: the input field is only displayed, the keyword is displayed two-dimensionally.
<space> = standard: the field is controlled by standard setting, seldom used attributes are, for example, only maintained in an additional popup, and only appear on the main main maintenance screen if they are not empty.

Some fields, which are only relevant for particular applications, are hidden in this default setting and must be explicitly displayed by the application program using '+', '.', or '*'.
# (hash) = always visible on the standard maintenance screen.

This parameter makes a field which is only in the detail popup by default (on the main screen when it is not empty), always appear on the main maintenance screen, even if it is empty.
