Display Resizable Amodal Pop-up Dialog Box

Did you ever have a requirement to display resizable pop-up window or amodal pop-up window? Or are you aware that we cannot have a resizable dialog box using normal CALL SCREEN technique? Honestly I’m just aware of it and just found out how ABAP can display a resizable amodal pop-up dialog box just like the F4 search help window (you may notice some F4 windows from SAP transactions are actually amodal instead of modal). Let me try to describe further and create a generic code template for this purpose so you may use it in your program. Any correction and feedback are most welcome.

Display Progress Indicator and Show Remaining Time

Report performance is one of common issues identified during realization until production support phase. It is sometime unavoidable to have one report or interface runs very long and need to figure out ways to make things acceptable by the users. There are actually few ways to iron out the situation, one of them is by displaying progress indicator so user knows what to expect and how long they still have to wait until the program give them the report. Better still if program show them the estimated remaining execution time.

At the bottom I include code template I use to display progress indicator with remaining items and time.
