First you need to turn the PRINT button off on the selection screen.  Then turn it off on the list.  This sample program will show you how to do both.  Notice that you must create a new gui-status for the list display,  make sure to put a function code for the green arrow as "BACK",  put the fcode 'PRIN' for the print button.  Notice that we will exclude this when setting the status.
report zrich_0001.
* Used to limit user commands on selection-screen
include rsdbc1xx.
parameters: p_check type c.
* Events
at selection-screen output.
  if p_check = 'A'.
    append 'PRIN' to current_scr-excl.
  else.
    delete current_scr-excl where fcode = 'PRIN'.
  endif.
start-of-selection.
  if p_check = 'A'.
    set pf-status 'LIST' excluding 'PRIN'.
  endif.
  write:/ 'list'.
