ABAP | Table Controls

Table controls and step loops are objects for scr

that you add to a screen in the Screen Painter.

From a programming standpoint, table controls

are almost exactly the same. Table controls are
step loops that display data with the look and fe
tables in desktop applications.
With table controls, the user can:

Scroll through the table vertically and horizonta

Re-size the width of a column

Select table rows or columns
Re-order the sequence of columns
Save the current display settings for future use

Table controls also offer special formatting features (some automatic, some optional) that m

column header fields for all columns

One feature of step loops is that their table rows can span more than one line on the screen.

Syntax

To handle table controls in ABAP programs, you must declare a control in the declaration par
for each table control using the following statement:
1

CONTROLS <ctrl> TYPE TABLEVIEW USING SCREEN <scr>

where <ctrl> is the name of the table control on a screen in the ABAP program. The control a
program to read the attributes of the table control and to influence the control .Here, <scr>
number where the initial values of the table are loaded.
Cursor Position for a table control can be set in following ways:
At PBO you can set the cursor on a specific field of a specific row of a table control.
1

SET CURSOR FIELD <f> LINE <lin> [OFFSET <off>]

Using the optional addition OFFSET, you can enter the offset of the cursor in the field as desc
Setting the Cursor Position.
At PAI you can read the current cursor position.

In addition to the information given under Finding Out the Cursor Position, field <lin> contain
which row of the table control the cursor is currently on. You can also use
1

GET CURSOR LINE <lin>.

to determine the row of the table control. SY-SUBRC allows you to check if the cursor is plac

For getting the corresponding line of the internal table :

GET CURSOR line <lin>.

ind = <table_control>-top_line + <lin> - 1.
Read table <itab> index ind.

The system variable stepl - contains the current table line index in a loop ... endloop. Loopc
of lines visible in the table

To create a table control

1.Add a table control element to your screen
2.Give a name to the table control. In the ABAP program declare a structure with the same (
type TABLEVIEW USING SCREEN <scrn >)
3.To create fields go to the Dict./Program fields function.

Enter the name of the structure whose fields you want. (If you want it to pick it from dictio
program click the relevant puhbutton).
In the field list choose the fields you want and choose ok.
Click in the table control area

If you want a selection column , check the appropriate check box in the attributes and give it
the field in the ABAP program.
In the PBO you should have the statement
