SCREEN PAINTER-
The Screen Painter is a component of the ABAP/4 Development Workbench. In the Screen Painter, you can define the following interface elements with their associated attributes:
input/output fields
field names
checkboxes
radio buttons
Group boxes
subscreens
pushbuttons with no fixed position
To start the Screen Painter, choose the corresponding pushbutton on the initial screen of the ABAP Workbench or enter Transaction SE51. From here, you can:
Create new screens.
Test an existing screen.
Create new components for an existing screen.
In the Screen Painter, you define the graphical layout of the screen as well as the underlying flow logic.
The layout editor of the Screen Painter can run in two different modes:
alphanumeric mode
graphical mode
MODULE-POOL-
An ABAP program with the program type 'M'.
ALSO IN MODULE POOL , OUTPUT SHOWS IN ANOTHER TRANSACTION CREATED BY US.
module pool should be used with each infotype. This module pool is the main program for the maintenance interface for the infotype.

Difference between screen painter and module pool

Hi guys,
what's the difference between SCREEN PAINTER and MODULE POOL ....
can anyone plz give brief description ...
regards
venu

hi ,
As its said by many colleagues in SDN , there are not very major differences between Modulepools and screen painter .
The few differences are :
1) Module pool is nothing but a pool ( series ) of screens . and Screen painter ( SE51 ) is a tool used for creating/designing screens .
2) While creating a modulepool you even need to create a transaction and assign this module pool program else the mpool program doesnt work . I think this is place we can say they are different .
3) If at all you create a screen in screen painter ( SE51 ) , that doesnot function by its own , you need to assign it to any of the executable programs or modulepool programs .Here is again a difference .

Error while opening a screen painter

Hi all,
I am trying to modify a screen in SE80. But when i am clicking on the screen painter it shows 'EU_SCRP_WN32 : timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'ThSAPCMRCV'
Message no. 37033. Please let me know how to resolve this issue. Thanks a lot for your help!

Priti

For the Future Problem Facers:
I too faced the same problem and the below steps helped me.
Re: SFLIGHT is NOT defined for the current logical database.
You can check the completeness of the program installation by starting the program gneux.exe locally in the SAPGUI directory (for example, by double-clicking on the program name in the Explorer window).The Layout Editor is displayed with German texts and an empty drawing area for the pseudo screen EUSPDYND 0000.
If the installation is not complete, an error dialog box provides information regarding the cause of the error, for example, sometimes the DLL eumfcdll.dll is missing after reinstalling the SAPGUI. For example, the eumfcdll.dll DLL was sometimes missing after the SAPGUI was reinstalled.

F4_FILENAME in search help in screen painter

Hello gurus,
I want to design a screen in which the text input field is used to get file name. For that i need to enable file search in local folders and drives with f4 key press. I wish to use the functionality of function module 'F4_FILENAME" in screen painter. How can i do that?
I tried creating search help for RLGRAP structure. It compiles fine but gives the message 'No inout for selection'.
What should i do?

Thank you all,
The problem has been solved.
I am posting the final code.
1. In se38, i created program zprogram.
2. In se51, i created a screen for the program zprogram.
3. In layout, i took 2 buttons and one input/output field.
1st button for import and 2nd button for exit.
4.In flow logic-
i wrote the follwing code.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_100.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD FILENAME1 MODULE F4_FILE_SEARCH.
5. IN THE MAIN PROGRAM
i wrote the following code-
REPORT ZPROGRAM.
DATA: FILENAME1 TYPE RLGRAP-FILENAME,
           OK_CODE TYPE SY-UCOMM.
CALL SCREEN 100.
MODULE F4_FILE_SEARCH INPUT.
OK_CODE = SY-UCOMM.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
EXPORTING
    FIELD_NAME         = 'FILENAME1'
IMPORTING
    FILE_NAME           = FILENAME1
ENDMODULE.
MODULE STATUS_100 OUTPUT.
CASE OK_CODE.
WHEN 'IMPORT'.
MESSAGE 'THE FILE IS RECIEVED' TYPE 'I'.
WHEN 'CANCEL'.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.

Is it possible to display the standard function keys in screen painter

Hi ,
I design a screen in se51 where I use push buttons and input/output buttons and so on in the layout, here in the layout or in my final output screen(when i assign this screen to a transaction) I would like to display other standard keys, ie the function keys and application toolbar items. I would like to know whether there is a possibility to do this , if yes then how?
In a menu painter there is a possibility where I can customize the keys or I can use the standard keys by going to se41 extras->adjust template. Is there similar possibilities in the screen painter.

Ok I see. I should use &var.

How to read the contents of Input Field created via Screen Painter?

Hi All,
I have a module program / dialog program, on my second screen, I created an input/outbox field via screen painter of course,
now in my PAI, how can I read the contents of the input/outbox field?
Let's say the name of my input/outbox field is: P_WEKRS. Note: Get Parameter and Set Parameter is ticked.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
LOOP WITH CONTROL TC_DATA.
MODULE MODIFY_DATA.
ENDLOOP.
I want to get the value of the input/outbox field before my loop in table control? I thought that it will work like normal parameter in non-dialog programs.
Any helpful inputs will be appreciated/rewarded.
Thanks.
Jaime

Hi, Jaime
Do the following Change in you Follow Logic
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE read_or_change_value. " Add this

" Here you will find the Value in that Variable or if you will change the Value here you will find it change on Screen
