Currently, the screen
sequence of our online
program is determined by
static Next Screen
attributes on each screen.
We will learn how to
dynamically set the screen
sequence and add a pop-up
dialog box to enter a critics
name.

When LEAVE SCREEN is encountered,
the system immediately terminates the

Leaving a Called Screen
Next Screen
attribute is 9002.
Because screen 9002 was called,
SCREEN 0 refers to the calling
screen (9001).

Summary
The screen sequence of an online program is determined by Next Screen
pointers.
When the system encounters the LEAVE SCREEN ABAP statement, it
immediately terminates the screens PAI event and goes to the PBO event of the
screen specified in the Next Screen attribute.
When the system encounters the SET SCREEN <screen #> ABAP statement, it
temporarily overrides the Next Screen attribute with this <screen #> and the PAI
processing continues. After all PAI modules are executed, the system goes to
the PBO event of <screen #>.
When the system encounters the LEAVE TO SCREEN <screen #> ABAP
statement, it terminates the screens PAI event and immediately goes to the PBO
of <screen #>.
The LEAVE TO SCREEN <screen #> statement performs the functionality of two
statements: SET SCREEN <screen #> and LEAVE SCREEN.

Summary (Contd.)
When the system encounters the CALL SCREEN <screen #> ABAP statement,
it temporarily suspends the current screens PAI processing and immediately
goes to the PBO event of <screen #>. When control returns back to the calling
screen, its PAI processing will resume.
After you have called another screen, you need to code a way back to the
calling screen. Using screen number zero will accomplish this task.
