What you should do and not do when designing a selection screen ...
- Do Pay serious attention to your selection screen - it should tell a clear tale on the functionality behind it
- Don't forget the message "No data found" - returning to a selection screen without results deserves a message (e.g.
MESSAGE s085(v2).
)
- Do consider use of user parameters - picking up the user's last Vendor Number and defaulting it in your report can be a prize winner
- Don't forget to set up F4 processing for the most important fields
- Do consider warning (or even stopping) the end-user if the selection is likely to be very big
- Don't use flag parameters without bombarding them to checkboxes first (
AS CHECKBOX
option onPARAMETERS
)
