Example
We will be working with the enhancement ‘MM06E005’ it
has several screen exits but we will be working with the
first screen ‘SAPMM06E’ screen no ‘101’ which will be
calling the sub screen ‘SAPLXM06’ screen no ‘101’ which is
not existing and has to be created.

from the
menu or
Application
Tool Bar
15
Enter the Enhancement Name and
save the project.
Note : at any particular point any
enhancement can belong to only one
Project

we will display customer no in sub
screen area and display it using
ME23 transaction
(screen shot taken from smod
transaction)
This is where
we will be
working with
17
• Points to be noted while coding
• 1) the global data of the calling module pool is not known to the
function groups belonging to the subscreen.
• 2) The function modules belonging to the program exists lie in the
same function group as the subscreen screen.

19
Go to SE51
and create a
new subscreen
‘SAPLXM06’
with screen no
‘0101’
20
Just add the field EKKO-KUNNR
and save it
To display the data here we will have to
export the data in the main program to
memory and then import it from
memory into the subscreen
21
Go to SE51 and display the
main screen
‘SAPMM06E’ with screen no
‘0101’
22
Here we have
to code for
transferring
data to the
subscreen for
display
23
24
Double click on
the user exit
EXIT_SAPMM06E_006
25
Double
click on
the
include
‘ZXM06U36
’
26
It will ask u
to create a
new object
Click ‘YES’
27
Write Your code
here
i.e. export it to
memory
Generate it and
go back
28
Since I am trying to export EKKO-EBELN
to I have declare this in the function pool
which is of the same name as the
subscreen I.e ‘SAPLXM06’
Go to se38 and give the program name as
‘SAPLXM06’ and display it
29
Since we are trying to
declare the data
double click on the
include ‘LXM06TOP ’
30
Double click
on the include
‘ZXM066TOP’
31
Now do your declaration here
and generate it.
Once this part is done go back
to the flow logic of your
subscreen which you have
created
32
Write your code in the PBO
write a new module pool or
use the existing
MODULE STATUS_0101.
(double click on the module
33
Type in your code here and
generate
(i.e import your data here)
And go back to your flow
logic
34
Generate
your flow
logic here
Go to your project and activate it
