Transaction code SE51 is a Workbench Tool that allows developers to design screens. In this transaction code (Screen Painter), you can make modifications to screen attributes, the flow control of a screen, its layout or in the element list. Screen attributes can be modified in any way that you like, including, for example, changing the screen size maintenance value, positioning screen fields and graphical elements on the screen or defining the flow logic, i.e. how the screen fields are initialized just before the screen is displayed, and how they are validated after the user has pressed a key or a button.
The Object components text box lists the different screen component views. Each view lets you edit a different aspect of a screen.
• Layout Editor – maintain a screen’s layout
• Element list – maintain the ABAP Dictionary or program fields for a screen and assign a program field to the OK_CODE field in the Screen Painter.
• Screen attributes – maintain a screen’s attributes
• Flow logic – edit a screen’s flow logic
