Creating your first ABAP dialog screen program in SAP
The following steps will show you how to create a basic SAP dynpro program and add a selectable list box to it. If you already know
the basics of creating a dialog screen can probably just look at step 6 to create the field and step 9 to get the code for
your PBO module which populates your dropdown list
Step 1 - Create New dialog Program
Within transaction SE80 select program from the dropdown and enter a Z name for your custom SAP program (i.e. ZSCREENEXAMPLE).
Now press enter, select "With TOP INCL." and press the Yes button
Enter a name for your top include (i.e. ZSCREENTOP) and press the green tick
Within the attributes screen simply enter a title and press the save button
Step 2 - Add a screen to your dialog program
You now need to add a screen to your program by right clicking on the program name
and selecting the options Create->Screen
Enter a screen number such as '0100' and press the green tick
On the next screen enter a short title, set to normal screen type and press the save button on the top application toolbar!
Step 3 - Screen layout
Now click on the layout button within the application toolbar.
Step 4 - Add helloworld text
Add a Text Field and enter some text such as "Hello World". Now save and activate it. You can also enter a field name but it
will default one in for you if you don't. Save and activate your screen.
Step 5 - Create transaction
Next step is to create a transaction code for your program, to do this simply right click on the program name choose the option
Create->Transcation
Enter a transaction code such as 'ZEXAMPLE'
Enter transaction text, program / Screen you have just created (i.e. ZSCREENEXAMPLE / 0100 ) and tick at least the SAPGUI for Windows
checkbox.
Step 6 - Test
First Save and activate everything. You can now execute the program by using the transaction code you have just created.
note the /o at the begining executes the transaction in a new session.
Your program should then be executed and the text you entered displayed on screen.
