Purpose

For each screen element, a corresponding Web Dynpro UI element is created. Additionally, a context node containing all bindable attributes - that is, properties that are relevant to runtime modifications - is generated for each Web Dynpro UI element, with the exception of TabStrip.

The ID of the element and its context node is usually identical to the name of the corresponding screen element. However, because the naming convention for Web Dynpro elements is more restrictive, the screen element names will be changed in some cases.

The mapping description often refers to specific attributes of a screen element:

Element Attributes in the Classic Screen Painter

  • Element attributes are entries found in section 1 of the above figure
  • Element dictionary attributes are entries found in section 2
  • Element program attributes are entries found in section 3
  • Element display attributes are entries found in section 4
  • Element runtime attributes are fields found in the SCREEN structure of the screen element

The following section lists the screen elements are only mapped onto Web Dynpro UI elements.
