WebDynpro: Transfer data between screens

If you want to capture data in one screen and then displaying it or use that data in the next screen then the following way can be applied. We have a simple example where we take customer number and description and then display it on the next screen.

This is done without writing any code. We create a context in the component controller and then map this context to the two screens. So the data gets captured from the first screen in the context and then gets referred in the second screen.

In the first screen the input fields refer to its local context and in the second screen the output field refer to its local context respectively but since they are mapped to the same component controller context they have access to the same data.

If you are getting the error ‘The lead selection has not been set’ when testing, make sure that you have ‘Cardinality’ set to 1:1 and ‘Initialization Lead Selection’ property checked for the context.

When you use the context for referring them on the screen as masking variable that is required.
