Module Pool Programming.

+ -
It is a special type of programming which is used to create custom SAP screens.
Transaction code for creating module pool programs is SE8.
E!ery module pool program must "e e#ecuted with a transaction $T-code%.
E!ents in Module pool programming
There are four e!ents a!aila"le in module pool programming.
PBO (Process Before Output):Triggered "efore MPP screen is displayed.
PAI (Process After Input): Triggered after MPP screen is displayed whene!er user
raises an action. Also&'ow P() is also triggered.
POV (Process On Value Request): Triggered when *ser +lic,s on search help or -.
(utton.
POH (Process On Help Request): Triggered when *ser +lic,s on search help or -.

Modulari/ation techni0ues in Module Pool
(asically there are four include programs which are created automatically for an MPP
program.
1MPP name23T)P 4top include program &All data declarations.
1MPP name23)5 4P() include program & All logic related to P() e!ent
1MPP name23I5 4PAI include program & All logic related to PAI e!ent

It is an su"-program which contains the A(AP code for a screen .
-low-8ogic cannot understand A(AP statements. So the entire A(AP code is
written in the form of modules.
Since the entire a"ap logic is di!ided in the form of modules& that is why it is
