Graphic on selection screen forces execution as a transaction

Question

Is it possible for a graphic to be added to the selection screen of an ABAP report and have the report continue to be executable via SA38? My developer is telling me that it must be executed via an assigned transaction code now and this is not what the enduser wants.

Answer 1

Hi Linda,
Your developer is right.
you can create a screen and use custom_container to add a graphics and also include your selection screen in that screen.
You can provide the enduser with the z transaction code, so that, he can run it and get the desired output... [End users generally are given custom transactions, if the standard reports/transactions dont serve their purpose]
