Set cursor Field

hey guys,
MODULE PAI_CHECK.
MODIFY MYTAB FROM LTAB INDEX ZTABDISP-CURRENTLINE transporting KUNRR STATUS.
SET CURSOR FIELD 'LTAB-KUNNR'
MESSAGE E005.
END MODULE.
does not allow me to put cursor at KUNNR field, instead
it stands in first column itself..
what could be the reason here..
ambichan

Try setting the cursor field in the PBO.
If this is to point the user at the error which is occuring, then it should happend automatically if you are coding it correctly.
This statement should actually be in its own module.
MODIFY MYTAB FROM LTAB INDEX ZTABDISP-CURRENTLINE transporting KUNRR STATUS.
The checks should be in their own modules.
MODULE CHECK_KUNNR.
IF ltab-kunnr is initial.
message E005.
endif.
ENDMODULE.
In your flow logic, in the PAI, you should be coding your checks like this.
LOOP AT LTAB.
MODULE YOUR_MODIFY_STATEMENT.
FIELD LTAB-KUNNR MODULE CHECK_KUNNR.
ENDLOOP.

hello and thanks for the answer
let me clarify my problem :
i want to issue a message ( type e or i ) only if some fields are null and the user pressed on SAVE .
when i'm in the tab-strip and writing error message in :
PAI :
chain.
field XXX
field YYY
module issue_warning_message on chain-request.
endchain.
in module issue_warning_message : if XXX is initial --> message type E --> set cursor field XXX.
here i get the message and cursor is set.
when i try to post the message in without chain or any events :
module user_command_tab502 .
the message is issued and it exit the program if the type is e and if type message is I the cursor is not set .

Reg: set cursor field problem.

hello guyz,
In module pool programmming, I need to vaildate entries made by the user in the PAI block. Once the entry is valid, I need to move the cursor to the next input field.
Is it possible to set the cursor field in the PAI block. Could you please help me out in this issue because as for as I know the set cursor field works only in PBO.
thanks,
karthikeyan

No dont create another screen..
For validation you might be using chain .. endchain..
let us say i have a material field and quantity field... i want to validate materil and set the cursor in quantity field.
chain
field : material module validate_material
endchain.
module validate_material.
select single * from mara where matnr = material
if sy-subrc eq 0.
set cursor field quantity.
endif.
endmodule.

Staying on screen at set cursor field

I am trying to catch a user's input on a field and return the user to that field to enter new value. In PAI I catch the invalid entry in a method with a message, and after the message I want to stop processing and return the user to the unaltered screen at the field that needs to be changed. All commands I try either exit the method and continue PAI processing, or return to a refreshed screen with the status set in its PBO.
Any help will be appreciated

All you need to do is in Flow Logic part.. write a Field statement for your required field( which needs checking ) and a module for it.. Eg.. if your field is w_matnr.. in Flow Logic write:
FIELD W_MATNR module chk_matnr on request.
now double click on chk_matnr . A new module will be created and write your code for checking in this module.. And if it is an error, display the message using type "E'.It will stop at that field

Hi

I have created a table with 2 fields Start_date and End_date. Now my requirement is i have to validate the both date field as Start_Date must be LESS than or EQUAL to End_Date.

I want to set the cursor at End_Date field.
I used

ENDIF.
Its working for the FIRST time i am entering the new data. Next time the cursor going to the KEY field. I have been asked not to write code in SE80. Anyhow i have to set the cursor in table maintenance maintenance generator event.
Can anybody help?

Hi Sourav,
Please follow the below method:
Go to Maintainance Screen (where you want the cursor setting). Goto Status - > Remember the screen name -> Double click on Program name.. Open Object list and expant Screen Tree -> double click on the same screen Number -> Go to its first tab attributs -> Change Mode -> Do F4 on Cursor Position field -> Choose the field where you want the cursor.
But this way will always set the cursor at the HardCoded Field Name.
Thanks,

Activate Tab page and set cursor on field!

Hi All,
I have a requirement to mimic SAP standard functionality like whenever a mandatory field is not enetered in a transaction, the control activates particular tab page and set the cursor on mandatory field.
My requirement is as below.
There is a main screen 1 with many tab pages.
But when I click on save button, the control goes to different screen. When a partular field is not enetered, then I should put my control to a particular tab page and cursor on that initial field.
Please help me to get this done. Al I think is SET SCREEN but not sure how I can eneable the control to a particular tab page and cursor on a field from the different screen.
Many thanks.

Set cursor in table control field

I have developed module using table control have done validation for one field on Enter key press.In change mode if user changes value in table control field and presses Enter key then system is showing Error message on status bar and table control gets gray out.
if user again hits Enter key then this error message clears and Table control is in Edit mode.
Here I wan that Cursor should go to same filed from which error message occurred.
I have written Get Cursor In PAI event and Set Cursor in PBO after Loop at table control. I tried Set cursor within Lop at Table control in PBO.
But cursor is not coming on that field of table control.
I have written set cursor as below:
Set Cursor Field itab-fieldname Line lineno Offset offsetval.
Here itab is internal table assigned to table control.
Please let me know why cursor is not setting on particular field on table control.

Hi Ganesh,
   A simpler way would be to include the fields of the table in a chain-endchain block.
in PAI section.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
loop at IT_FINAL.
    chain.
      field WA_FINAL-JOBCARD.
      field WA_FINAL-MATIDTAG.
      field WA_FINAL-VORNR.
      field WA_FINAL-ARBPL.
      field WA_FINAL-ZZPULLCONTNRQTY.
      field WA_FINAL-NOOFTAGS.
      field WA_FINAL-ROUTE_TO.
   module validate.
    endchain.
endloop.
you can issue your error messages in the module validate.

How to set cursor in table control?

I have a table control (Screen 300) to display invoice number and amount. For some checks we have around 200 invoices to be displayed. When user enters the invoice number in invoice text box and click on OK, it should highlight the invoice number and amount row or set the cursor position.
I have another problem.
Screen 300 is being called from Screen 200. When the user clicks on OK in 300, 300 is getting closed. Acutally it should be displayed with Cusor position or highlighted row.
I appreaciate your help ... Thanks

I believe that you can use the SET CURSOR statement to do the first part of your requirement. Something like this should work:
SET CURSOR FIELD w_field LINE w_line.
Here's the info from SAP help:
Effect
: The cursor is positioned on the screen element whose name is contained in upper case in field. The data object field must be character-type and flat. The screen layout or a table control is scrolled in the display so that the screen element on which the cursor is positioned is visible. If the specified screen element is not found, the statement is ignored.
If the specified screen element is part of a table control or a step loop, the line of the table control or group of the step loop in which the cursor is positioned on the specified screen element must be specified using the addition LINE. For the data object line, the type i is expected. If there is no line or group for the value of line, or the addition LINE is not specified, the statement is ignored. The statement is also ignored if the addition LINE is specified and the screen element is not part of a table control or step loop.
I hope this helps.

With Best Regards

Some of the logic is a bit confusing (would be easier to read if you used the "Code" button in the SDN message editor)... for example:
LOOP AT ITAB_EMP WHERE MARK = 'X' .
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
... the "IF SY-SUBRC" won't be reached unless there is at least one row where "mark = 'X'.''...
Anyhow, where is this code implemented currently?... the usual approach to validating a table control is to have a module called inside the "loop at table control" in the PAI of the screen flow... then the contents of each row on the screen will get passed into your logic a row at a time automatically and the "set cursor field" + "message e999(zz)" type code should work as it will refer to the current row being checked.

Set cursor on table control not working

Hi,
I have a screen with delivery number field on top with Get Data Button next to it. Once I click on Get Data, I want to get all the handling units and show them in a table control below and show the first line of that table control selected by default.
I m able to get the data but the cursor always goes back to the delivery number field.
I have the following code in PBO
Status & title for the screen
MODULE status_0100.
And in the module, the last lines are as follows
if sy-ucomm = 'GET'.
    s_vepo-sel = c_x.
    set cursor field 'TABLE1' line 1. "TABLE1 is name of the table control in screen
                                                  "painter
endif.
I debugged and saw that the line " set cursor field 'TABLE1' line 1." is indeed the last line which gets executed but still the cursor goes back to delivery number field and table row doesnt get selected.
Thanks for reading.

Try maintaining the "Cursor position" in the screen layout in Attributes tab with the field name that you want the default cursor position to be present.

Shri Hari.

Hi friends i have doubt on set cursor.

i am using dialog programming. here in the first text field i am auto generating the number, so user should only suppose to enter the values for other repective fields only.but in execution the cursor is positioning at the first field. it should start from the second and so on.
i tried using SET CURSOR FIELD F2. but tbe result is same. please provide me guidence on this.

Hi,
In the PBO of the dialog module,write the following code :
SET CURSOR FIELD `FIELD2`.
Remember the FIELD2 is the name assigned to the textbox of the screen.

Prashant
