SAP SY-SYSTEM VARIABLES


System fields for SCREENS.

System fields are set at the PAI (Process After Input) event for every screen.

These can be also used for interactive list processing, except for SY-DATAR, SY-LOOPC, and SY-STEPL.

SY-CUCOL

Horizontal cursor position Counting starts at column 2

SY-CUROW

Vertical cursor position Counting starts at row 1

SY-DATAR

Set to X at time of PAI if at least one screen input field was changed by the user or other data

transfer, otherwise empty.

SY-LOOPC

Number of rows currently displayed in a screen table (table control).

SY-SCOLS

Number of columns in current screen.

SY-SROWS

Number of rows in current screen.

SY-STEPL

Index of current row in a screen table (table control). Is set at every loop pass. Outside a loop, for

example during the POV(Process On Value Request) event for a table row, SY-STEPL is not set

appropriately.

SY-TITLE

Text that appears in the title bar of the screen. For selection screens and lists this is the program

name, otherwise SAP R/3. Can be set during PBO (Process Before Output) using SET TITLEBAR.

SY-UCOMM

Function code that triggered the event PAI. Every user action that triggers PAI is assigned a

unique function code, with one exception: Choosing Enter triggers PAI and different function

codes can be transferred to SY-UCOMM:

• If there is an entry in the command field of the standard toolbar, this is transferred to SY

UCOMM as the function code.

• If there is no entry in the command field and a function code is assigned to the ENTER key, this

function code is transferred to SY-UCOMM.

• If the command field does not contain an entry and no function code is assigned to the ENTER

key, it is empty and the content of SY-UCOMM is not affected.

Variant used to fill the selection screen.
