3 Screen Child

This topic provides an overview of the Screen Child.

Screen child can be derived from a parent screen or a child screen. Screen child uses the packages for maintenance functions from the parent itself, only screen-level modifications can be done in a Screen Child.

The Screen Child is not exactly the child of child screens (second-level inheritance). It can be the child of a parent or a child screen. The difference between a child and a screen child is that only screen-level changes can be done in a screen Child. Business logic will remain the same as its parent. In the child screen business logic can also be enhanced for the child function ID.
