Need to make parameter as Read-Only,

Question

In selection-screen, I have one parameter called 'Author' I have called the report using 'Submit' from other report and passed the value to 'Author'. Now I need to make the 'Author' parameter as Read-only. How can I do that?

I used the following code,

 LOOP AT SCREEN.
   IF SCREEN-NAME = 'author'.
     SCREEN-INPUT = '0'.
     MODIFY SCREEN.
     EXIT.
   ENDIF.
 ENDLOOP.

But it is not working. Can any one help me in resolving this?

in which event are you executing this code? It should work in 'at selection-screen output'. — Dirk Trilsbeek, Apr 20 '12 at 10:34
@GarlandGreene : ya, after i moved to 'at selection-screen output', it is working fine. Thanks GarlandGreene — Dhivya, Apr 20 '12 at 10:42

Disclaimer: This answer does not answer exactly your question, but perhaps it is an easier solution for your need.

If you need only a parameter for SUBMIT you may use

PARAMETERS AUTHOR NO-DISPLAY.

The parameter will not be visible on selection screen, but it can be used via SUBMIT.

This is not a 'read-only' it is a 'don't show' parameter.

I need to **Show** the value on my screen. But it should not be editable. That is **Read-Only**. – Dhivya Apr 26 '12 at 06:12
