Starting the application in display mode

Question

Hi there,
For PCUI application, is it possible that when the user clicks on a search results for a transaction, it will go to Display mode, instead of Edit mode automatically? As for now, whenver we click on a transaction number in PCUI, it will automatically go to Edit mode when we view the details!
Let me know if you guys have come across such requiremnts.
Cheers,
J

Hello Joshua,
- Create an event DISPLAY
- add it to your toolbar group.
- in the process_event method of your MAC, put the 'display' info in a global variable
- in the read method, check this global variable. if your are in display mode, put all field attributes to A in table et_field_attribute.
Example for application CRMM_ACCOUNT.
There is an event 'DISPLAY' in the process_event method. When called, a value 09 is set to gv_activity (display mode).
In the read method, when gv_activity = (09), the field attributes are set to read only via
  Activity "display": don't allow to change anything
    IF gv_activity = gc_activity-display.
      CALL METHOD cl_bsp_bp_global_service=>set_field_attr
        EXPORTING
          iv_object_key            = ls_object-object_key
          iv_screen_structure_name = iv_screen_structure_name
          iv_field_property        = gc_no_change
        CHANGING
          ct_field_attribute       = et_field_attribute
          ct_dd03p                 = gt_dd03p.
    ENDIF.
Hope this will help you,
Regards,
Fred
