MODIFY LINE

Short Reference
• MODIFY LINE ABAP Statement


ABAP Syntax MODIFY { {LINE line [OF {PAGE page}|{CURRENT
PAGE}]
[ • idx]}
| {CURRENT LINE} }
[source].

ABAP Addition
1 ... LINE line [{OF PAGE page }|{OF CURRENT PAGE}] [ • idx]
2 ... CURRENT LINE

What does it do? This statement overwrites a line saved in the list buffer with the content of the sy-lisel system field and permits additional modifications as specified in source. In addition, all values for this row stored with HIDE are assigned to the respective variables.

The first output of a data object in the list buffer with the WRITE statement defines the output length, which cannot be changed by the MODIFY statement. The MODIFY statement ignores any output alignments that are specified for the output with WRITE and CENTERED, RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.

System Fields sy-subrcMeaning 0The specified line exists and was changed. Not 0The specified line does not exist.



Latest notes:
We recommend that the system field sy-lisel is filled before the statement MODIFY LINE is executed with the content of the list line to be changed, and then the line is modified exclusively using the information in source, not by changing sy-lisel. The sy-lisel system field is filled either using list events or with the READ LINE statement. For modifying icons and quick info in list lines, the LIST_ICON_PREPARE_FOR_MODIFY and LIST_MODIFY_QUICKINFO function modules can be used.
