Memory-buffering in selection screen

Memory-buffering in selection screen

Normally when dealing with a very big selection screen, which contains check boxes, radio buttons and parameters, tracking the selection screen values for each execution is difficult. We can track the values if we have provided the memory ID for the fields. If not ???

Using an SAP class CL_MMIM_USERDEFAULTS, we can store the selection screen values in the buffer memory and retrieve the same as required. So, once the program execution is over, the selection screen values will be moved to the buffer memory so we can use the same at the second run from the memory.

Hope this will be very useful in terms of complex selection screen in a user's point of view.
