Summary
In this hour, you looked at the SAP Screen Painter and Menu Painter tools. These ABAP tools are very useful in designing and customizing your own screens and menus. Although I have covered the basics here, there is much to learn when it comes to implementing functional screens and menus. To that end, I recommend that you enlist the assistance of an experienced ABAP programmer in order to create screens and menus that not only look pleasing, but also perform well.
Q&A
| Q | In what instances do you need to create your own SAP screens? |
