Web GUI overwrite / insert mode - how can I change it?

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I created a report where the user scans a barcode. The scanned value will be processed. it works fine.

Later, the report will be used with sap web gui.

The problem is, the webgui works with insert mode, I need overwrite mode. Otherwise the next scanned barcode will lead to an invalid value.

I tried to change from insert to overwrite (keyboard) > doesn't work.

Is there a way to set a parameter in the report?

Thanks for any help.

I use a workaround:

After the program is done I do:

LEAVE to TRANSACTION 'Z_UNIT_SCAN'.

So, the program starts new and with the proper 'initialization' settings, the field is empty, so a new barcode can be scanned.

(After clearing the field, the user 'knows', the item is scanned.)

It works with webgui - but I would like to know, if there is another way to solve it.
