SAP ABAP HIDE Technique

SAP ABAP HIDE Technique.

In ABAP HIDE is an important technique and is used in interactive reporting. The HIDE statement defines the information that needs to be passed to the subsequent lists.

We will see a very simple example of the HIDE statement to understand the concept. In this example we will select the Header data of all the sales order into an internal table. We will then display only the customer numbers. Once the user clicks on the customer number the Following information will be displayed as the Secondary list.

CUSTOMER NUMBER
PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER
SALES ORDER NUMBER
SALES ORGANIZATION
DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL
DIVISION

To achieve this we will hide the above mentioned fields using the HIDE statement. The Program is given below.
