Chapter 02_ABAP Events

The document outlines the objectives and key concepts of ABAP Event-Driven Programming, detailing system-triggered events such as INITIALIZATION, START-OF-SELECTION, and END-OF-SELECTION, as well as user-invoked events like AT PF## and AT LINE-SELECTION. It emphasizes that the flow of an ABAP program is controlled by events, which do not depend on their coding order. The document also includes demonstrations and practice exercises to reinforce understanding of these events.

Objectives
 The participants will be able to:
 Interpret ABAP Event-Driven Programming.
 Identify the System Triggered events that are executed during runtime of a Report
program
 Identify the User Invoked List Display events, that are triggered after the report has
generated the basic list.

Summary

 Flow of an ABAP program is controlled by events. Execution order of events does


not depend on the order in which they are coded in the program.
 All ABAP statements that are not coded as part of an event, are part of the event
START-OF-SELECTION. This event does not need to be coded explicitly in an
ABAP program. It gets triggered automatically.
 END-OF-SELECTION is the last system triggered event to be processed during
the runtime of a program. It occurs after all database retrievals has finished and
before any User-invoked events. It occurs only once during the execution of an
ABAP program.
 AT PF## (when any Function key is pressed), AT LINE-SELECTION (when the
user double-clicks on a line) and AT USER-COMMAND (Clicking on a pushbutton
or selecting a menu item) are three different user-invoked events that are
handled from an ABAP program.

Questions

 What are the different events in an ABAP program that can be triggered before
user interaction ? When do they get triggered ?
 What are the user-invoked events for a list display ?
 What are the events used for displaying Headers and Footers in a list ? When
are these events invoked ?
 Which part of a code in a program are executed for an event ?
