First the user double-clicks on a
record.
Then a drill down list is created
showing data relevant to the record
initially selected by the user.
Providing Additional Information on a Single Record Only

First, the user clicks inside of the
checkboxes for the vendors that
the user is interested in.
Then a drill down window
appears that contains the
telephone numbers for each of
the previously selected vendors.

READ LINE 1.. checked? YES or NO
READ LINE 2.. checked? YES or NO
READ LINE 3 .. checked? YES or NO
READ LINE n .. checked? YES or NO
First we must learn techniques to
draw checkboxes on the screen.
Then we must learn techniques to loop through each of the lines on the
report and determine whether or not they were checked.

Summary
Checkboxes can be written to the list by using AS CHECKBOX addition with the
WRITE command.
READ LINE statement can be used to read the contents of a list. With this
statement, the contents of the line are populated in system field SY-LISEL.
MODIFY LINE statement can be used to modify the list even after it is displayed.
The format of the lines in the list can also be changed using MODIFY LINE ..
FORMAT addition.
