Summary
A subscreen is a screen that is displayed in a specified area of another screen
(the main screen). A subscreen cannot be displayed by itself.
To include a subscreen in a predefined area on the main screen, use the CALL
SUBSCREEN statement in the main screens PBO event.
If the subscreen contains any PAI code, use the CALL SUBSCREEN statement
in the PAI event of the main screen.
A subscreen is created just like any other screen of an online program. The only
difference is the screen type specified in the Screen Attributes section of the
Screen Painter. The screen type for a subscreen is appropriately called
Subscreen.
The following ABAP/4 statements cannot be used in a subscreens PBO or PAI
modules (instead, they must be used in the main screen): SET PF-STATUS,
SET TITLEBAR, SET SCREEN, LEAVE TO SCREEN,CALL SCREEN.
