Using SET CURSOR

Hi, I am trying to set the cursor so it always appears in an input field on my screen. The screen itself contains some input fields at the top of the screen, and then an ALV grid on the bottom half. The transaction then transfers values from the input fields to the ALV grid, but after each update I want the cursor to return to the first input field. But this doesn't seem to work consistently.
In the screens PBO I use SET CURSOR FIELD ekpo-matnr
And in the PBO I am doing the same.
But with no joy.

Hi
I think you should pass the vales in Single Quotes
SET CURSOR FIELD 'field name'.
where field name is the name of the screen field.
Thanks!

How to use SET CURSOR in REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY

Hi,
I have added new fields in Standard VL10C ALV report , I have added one editable field in this standard ALV output.
I want to set the cursor by default on the editable column on the specific row depending on some condition also if possible
i want to highlight only that particular row.
Please reply if anybody knows how to do this.
Thanks,
Pawan

Hİ Pawan
You can see the list of events supported by reusable alv with function REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
when I run this function in se37 I see the some events maybe helpful for your question
PF_STATUS_SET : this has to be called from PBO of your screen, so you can try to use SET CURSOR
command to put cursor on the selected field
BEFORE_LINE_OUTPUT : It's called before the output of every single line so you should use command
"FORMAT COLOR COL_POSITIVE INTENSIFIED ON. "for highlighting the line
AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT : than u can use "FORMAT COLOR COL_POSITIVE INTENSIFIED OFF." command
I hope it'll be helpful.

Using Set Cursor Busy in Veristand Custom Device Page

I am writing a Custom Device in Veristand and tried using the Set Busy vi to disable the cursor while I am doing some tasks on a System Explorer page. It seems like the Set and Unset Busy vi do not work inside of the System Explorer environment. I see that NI provides a way to release the cursor with the Veristand API but I do not see a way to set it busy with in the API.
Am I correct in saying these cursor VIs don't work the way they would in a normal application? Or is there a work around here that I am missing?
Thanks.

Hello,
The idea is good, it works for me if you open a reference to System Explorer.lvlibystem Explorer.vi (VeriStand 2012) :

Hi,
why dont you use set cursor to set the position in the screen in at selection-screen output.

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.

Setting Cursor in ME53N !

Hi there,
I have a problem regarding ME53N. Purchase Requisitions.
I inserted a new message type E, and I want to set the cursor on a certain field, when that message pops in.
How can I do that?
Please help.
Thanks a lot.

I will explain further my problem, because I was a little bit shortly in my issue exposure.
I implemented a BADI -- ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST and the method PROCESS_ACCOUNT.
At one point in ME53N, with the fields Material Group & G/L Account NOT SET, the SAP System give 1st the "Enter G/L Account" error message and 2nd "Enter Material Group" error message.
The client request was to switch the messages, so 1st "Enter Material Group" and 2nd the "Enter G/L Account", because I had to automatically determine G/L Accounts based on Material Group.
Anyway, I solved this by coding at some point in PROCESS_ACCOUNT method the following:
CALL METHOD cl_message_handler_mm=>get_handler
IMPORTING
ex_handler = lref_msg.
CALL METHOD lref_msg->remove_all.
mmpur_message_force 'E' 'ME' '083' text-003 '' '' ''.
Now, the problem was solved, first the system gives "Enter Material Group" message first, but the cursor is not positioned on MATKL field.
I try to add before mmpur_message_force 'E' 'ME' '083' text-003 '' '' ''. this:
mmpur_metafield mmmfd_mat_grp BUT NOTHING HAPPENS
I cannot use SET CURSOR in implementation.
Please help,
Thanks a lot.

Set cursor alv grid (not using objects)

I got a question on ALV GRID (not using objects), please let me know if you have pointers. Thanks.
Output has 2 screens both has different contents. The output is generated using internal table1 and 2 and using FM 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY_LVC' (both screen use same FM).
First screen has multiple pages of output (say 10 pages). User scrolled page 5 and line 10 of first screen and then double clicked it takes to screen #2. After completion of screen #2, the back arrow should get back to page 5 and line 10 of screen #1. Currently the back arrow gets to screen#1 page 1 and line 1.

How to use SET and GET parameter commands ?

Explain these two giving an example?As which is used for what?

Hi Albert,
         SAP allows you to make use of SPA/GPA technique to fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program.SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs. A user can access the values stored in the SAP memory during one terminal session for all parallel sessions. Each SPA/GPA parameter is identified by a 20-character code. You can maintain them in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench. The values in SPA/GPA parameters are user-specific.
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement saves the contents of field <f> under the ID <pid> in the SAP memory. The code <pid> can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under <pid>, this statement overwrites it. If the ID <pid> does not exist, double-click <pid> in the ABAP Editor to create a new parameter object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement fills the value stored under the ID <pid> into the variable <f>. If the system does not find a value for <pid> in the SAP memory, it sets SY-SUBRC to 4, otherwise to 0.
To fill the initial screen of a program using SPA/GPA parameters, you normally only need the SET PARAMETER statement.
The relevant fields must each be linked to an SPA/GPA parameter.
On a selection screen, you link fields to parameters using the MEMORY ID addition in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement. If you specify an SPA/GPA parameter ID when you declare a parameter or selection option, the corresponding input field is linked to that input field.
On a screen, you link fields to parameters in the Screen Painter. When you define the field attributes of an input field, you can enter the name of an SPA/GPA parameter in the Parameter ID field in the screen attributes. The SET parameter and GET parameter checkboxes allow you to specify whether the field should be filled from the corresponding SPA/GPA parameter in the PBO event, and whether the SPA/GPA parameter should be filled with the value from the screen in the PAI event.
When an input field is linked to an SPA/GPA parameter, it is initialized with the current value of the parameter each time the screen is displayed. This is the reason why fields on screens in the R/3 System often already contain values when you call them more than once.
When you call programs, you can use SPA/GPA parameters with no additional programming overhead if, for example, you need to fill obligatory fields on the initial screen of the called program. The system simply transfers the values from the parameters into the input fields of the called program.
However, you can control the contents of the parameters from your program by using the SET PARAMETER statement before the actual program call. This technique is particularly useful if you want to skip the initial screen of the called program and that screen contains obligatory fields.
If you want to set SPA/GPA parameters before a program call, you need to know which parameters are linked to which fields on the initial screen. A simple way of doing this is to start the program that you want to call, place the cursor on the input fields, and choose F1 followed by Technical info. The Parameter ID field contains the name of the corresponding SPA/GPA parameter. Alternatively, you can look at the screen definition in the Screen Painter.
The SPA/GPA parameter for the input field Company has the ID CAR. Use this method to find the IDs CON, DAY, and BOK for the other input fields.
The following executable program is connected to the logical database F1S and calls an update transaction:
REPORT BOOKINGS NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
TABLES SBOOK.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE: 'Select a booking',
SKIP.
GET SBOOK.
WRITE: SBOOK-CARRID, SBOOK-CONNID,
         SBOOK-FLDATE, SBOOK-BOOKID.
HIDE: SBOOK-CARRID, SBOOK-CONNID,
         SBOOK-FLDATE, SBOOK-BOOKID.
AT LINE-SELECTION.
SET PARAMETER ID: 'CAR' FIELD SBOOK-CARRID,
                    'CON' FIELD SBOOK-CONNID,
                    'DAY' FIELD SBOOK-FLDATE,
                    'BOK' FIELD SBOOK-BOOKID.
CALL TRANSACTION 'BOOK'.
The basic list of the program shows fields from the database table SBOOK according to the user entries on the selection screen. These data are also stored in the HIDE areas of each line.

Report using ref cursor or dynamic Sql

Hi,
I never create a report using a ref cursor or a dynamic sql. Could any one help me to solve the below issue.
I have 2 tables.
1. Student_Record
2. Student_csv_help
Student_Record the main table where the data is stored.
Student_csv_help will contain the all the column names of the Student_record.
CREATE TABLE Student_CSV_HELP
ENTRY_ID NUMBER,
RAW_NAME VARCHAR2(40 BYTE),
DESC_NAME VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE),
IN_OUTPUT_LIST VARCHAR2(1 BYTE)
SET DEFINE OFF;
Insert into TOA_CSV_HELP
(ENTRY_ID, RAW_NAME, DESC_NAME, IN_OUTPUT_LIST)
Values
(1, 'S_ID', 'Student ID', 'Y');
Insert into TOA_CSV_HELP
(ENTRY_ID, RAW_NAME, DESC_NAME, IN_OUTPUT_LIST)
Values
(2, 'S_Name', 'Student Name', 'Y');
Insert into TOA_CSV_HELP
(ENTRY_ID, RAW_NAME, DESC_NAME, IN_OUTPUT_LIST)
Values
(3, 'S_Join_date', 'Joining Date', 'Y');
Insert into TOA_CSV_HELP
(ENTRY_ID, RAW_NAME, DESC_NAME, IN_OUTPUT_LIST)
Values
(4, 'S_Address', 'Address', 'Y');
Insert into TOA_CSV_HELP
(ENTRY_ID, RAW_NAME, DESC_NAME, IN_OUTPUT_LIST)
Values
(5, 'S_Fee', 'Tution Fee', 'N');
commit;
CREATE TABLE Student_record
S_ID NUMBER,
S_Name VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
S_Join_date date,
S_Address VARCHAR2(360 BYTE),
S_Fee Number
Insert into Student_record
(S_ID, S_Name, S_Join_date, S_Address,S_Fee)
Values
(101, 'john', TO_DATE('12/17/2009 08:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'CA-94777', 2000);
Insert into Student_record
(S_ID, S_Name, S_Join_date, S_Address,S_Fee)
Values
(102, 'arif', TO_DATE('12/18/2009 08:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'CA-94444', 3000);
Insert into Student_record
(S_ID, S_Name, S_Join_date, S_Address,S_Fee)
Values
(103, 'raj', TO_DATE('12/19/2009 08:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'CA-94555', 2500);
Insert into Student_record
(S_ID, S_Name, S_Join_date, S_Address,S_Fee)
Values
(104, 'singh', TO_DATE('12/20/2009 08:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'CA-94666', 2000);
Commit;
Now my requirement is:
I have a form with Student_record data block. When i Click on print Button on this form. It will open another window which has Student_CSV_HELP.DESC_NAME and a check box before this.
The window look like as below:
check_box       DESC_NAME+
X                   S_ID+
--                   S_Name+
X                   S_Join_date+
X                   S_Address+
--                  S_Fee+
X means check box checked.+
-- means check box Unchecked.+
After i selected these check boxes i will send 2 parameters to the report server
1. a string parameter to the report server which has the value 'S_ID,S_Join_date,S_Address' (p_column_name := 'S_ID,S_Join_date,S_Address');
2. the s_id value from the student_record block (p_S_id := '101');
Now my requirement is when i click on run. I need a report like as below:
Student ID : 101+
Joining Date : 12/17/2009 08:00:00+
Address : CA-94777+
This is nothing but the ref cursor should run like as below:
Select S_id from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
Select S_Join_date from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
Select S_Address from student_record block S_id = :p_S_id;
So, according to my understanding i have to select the columns at the run time. I dont have much knowledge in creating reports using ref cursor or dynamic sql.
So please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Plain sql should satisfy your need. Try ....
Select S_id, S_Join_date, S_Address
from student_record
where S_id = :p_S_id

Set cursor in a specific view of transaction MM01/MM02

Hi,
We have to check a condition in the user-exit EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001, for transaction MM01/MM02, and if the condition fails the client wants to set the cursor in a specific field from a specific view. Is it possible? I tried to use the sentence SET CURSOR referenced to a remote program but it doesn't work.
Does anybody knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Maribel

Hi
I hope, you have read the documetation attached with this Standard Enhancement - MGA00001.
EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001
Where Is the Customer Exit - EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001 called?
The customer exit is in function module MATERIAL_UPDATE_ALL. The
function module checks the data for errors (logical relationships,
foreign keys, fixed domain values, and so on) when the material master
is updated.
Use
o New fields
You can make checks possible for new fields of your own. These
checks must be identical to the checks that you carry out for your
new fields in online maintenance.
o Existing fields
For existing fields, you can extend and intensify the checks.
You can also change data for descriptions and general material data
(MARA). For example, the descriptions can be generated from attributes
of the material.
Limitations
You cannot bypass existing checks.
Interface to Application
The respective data of the current logical transaction is contained in
the structures, for example, in structure WMARA for MARA. Nonrelevant
structures are transferred with their initial values.
General material data that can be changed (CMARA) has the structure
MARU. This MARA view contains fewer internal fields than MARA itself. If
WMARA is filled, CMARA is also filled when accessed.
The customer exit contains the exception APPLICATION_ERROR for your
self-defined error situations.
Using the language element MESSAGE .. RAISING APPLICATION_ERROR, you can
terminate the current (logical) transaction and display your message in
the log.
Also, I guess, have you put some code in the Includes available with the EXITS and then activated the Project in CMOD.

Set cursor in Control String component

Hello:
I would like to set cursor in "Control String" automatically when I open my VI. If I open my VI, cursor should be seen automatically in the text field of "Control String". The user hasn`t set cursor by mouse into this field. Has anybody an idea how can I do?
Thanks!

Create a property node for the control on your block diagram and set the Key Focus property value to TRUE.

Set Cursor.vi fails after it has been called for 30 different panel refs in LV 7.1.1

Make sure both attached files (Run LabVIEW_Cursor_TestCase.vi, SimpleVI.vi) are in the same folder. Run LabVIEW_Cursor_TestCase.vi notice that the -3 error code is returned from "Set Cursor.vi" after it has been called with 30 different panel refs. If "Set Cursor.vi" is replaced with "Set Busy.vi" the same error occurs.Is there a workaround for this problem other that setting the cursor image manually in user32.dll? I must be able to open more than 30 panels and set them all to busy. In the test case I used a single VI, simply to demonstrate the error.

This bug is fixed in LabVIEW 8.0 and later. Unfortunately, I know of no workaround in LabVIEW 7.x. When I encountered this bug in one of my UIs in LabVIEW 7.x, my "fix" was simply to ignore the error outputs from the cursor VIs, and to live with the fact that I had no custom cursors after 30 windows had been opened.
