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.

LEAVE SCREEN Statement

Next Screen attribute is 9001. Screen 9000 PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT. MODULE INITIALIZE. PROCESS AFTER INPUT. MODULE ONE. MODULE TWO. When LEAVE SCREEN is encountered, the system immediately terminates the current screens PAI event and goes to the PBO event of the screen specified in the Next Screen attribute.

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.
