Answer 1

If u use PNP LDB, and set the report category in program attributes as blank, default selection-screen of PNP is assigned to program.
If u want to change it,
give existing report category which u can find by F4 or create a new one and assign it.
That is,
goto -->attributes --> Goto HR report category -->
choose master data--> for not to use the default screen choose 000
also you can use the parameters you want on ur selection screen
and if u dnt want anythng u can choose 000
The default HR Report Category gets assigned if you leave the field blank in the report attributes of a report tied to PNP/PNPCE. to avoid it,
1. You can use the report category ___00003 (All fields suppressed) & design your own selection-screen in the Program or
2. Create your own Report category & assign it to the report.
The report category is used to change the selection screen of programs that use the 'PNP' logical database.
