Date validation on selm screen

Hi
On selection selection screen user has selection field DATE by default sy-datum. i.e 6.10.2008
Now I should validate it i.e user can enter only last five days i.e .6.10.08 to 2.10.08
If user enters 1.10.08 he should get an error on selection screen .
Have A Pleasant Day.

Hi...
Check this simple logic..,
data: today like sy-datum.
today = sy-datum.
parameter: date like sy-datum default today.
at selection-screen.
today = sy-datum - 5.
if date < today.
error message.
elseif date > sy-datum.
error message.
endif.
Thanks,

  • Multiple select options validation at selection screen

    Hi,
    I have the requirement to create a selection screen with 3 select options. Two of them are cross-dependent. It is mandatory to fill one of them and it is not allowed to fill both. The third one is optional. I tried the validation at selection-screen on block... and I have a problem that search help buttons for select options react like execution buttons, when I press any of them I am getting one of errors instead of search help.
    Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
    Here is my code:
    DATA:
          so_rbkp TYPE rbkp,
          so_mseg TYPE mseg.
    SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK blok WITH FRAME.
      SELECT-OPTIONS:
            s_fakt   FOR so_rbkp-belnr,
            s_matdok FOR so_mseg-mblnr,
            s_god FOR so_mseg-gjahr.
    SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK blok.
    INITIALIZATION.
    SET TITLEBAR '0100'.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      AT SELECTION-SCREEN on block blok.
          if s_fakt <> space and s_matdok <> space.
            MESSAGE 'Message1' TYPE 'E'.
          elseif s_fakt = space and s_matdok = space.
            MESSAGE 'Message2' TYPE 'E'.
          endif.
        ENDIF.

    Only perform the check when user wants to execute or submit the program, not when pressing F4 or even Enter, but in a selection-screen event, before START-OF-SELECTION which were program would terminate in error :
    TABLES: SSCRFIELDS.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN OB BLOCK b01.
        IF sscrfields-ucomm EQ 'ONLI'
        OR sscrfields-ucomm EQ 'PRIN'
        OR sscrfields-ucomm EQ 'SJOB'.
          IF s_fakt[] IS NOT INITIAL AND s_matdok IS NOT INITIAL.
            MESSAGE 'Message1' TYPE 'E'.
          ELSEIF s_fakt[] IS INITIAL and s_matdok[] IS INITIAL.
            MESSAGE 'Message2' TYPE 'E'.
          ENDIF.
        ENDIF.
    (You could also always send the message, but using type 'E' for those function code and 'S' status for any other value.)

  • Validations on the screen fields in a module pool program

    Hi all
    i am creating a sales order against a purchase order ,i am selecting a PO click on a button to call another screen which has all the mandatory fields of the SO i want validations on the screen fields or the input fields as when i enter the header data and the items data and the partner data from the input serach help that is already enabled on the screen fields ,if there is any mismatch among the fileds and an error message is displayed for example:-" material no 100-100 does not exist for  sales area" then only that field where this message is present should be field enabled and the rest of the fields should be field disabled.
    also the error message i m displaying is in short text form and not in long text i clicked on it (long text) however how to use it was not known to me .
    thanks

    i want to have input search help as if i select sales document type then corresponding sales organizations should appear
    This would be quite opposite of what h_vakz does. h_vakz gives Sales document based on Sales org..and you want vice versa. Create a simple SH with
    selection method : TVAKZ
    AUART as importing only
    VKORG as exporting only. So when you enter an AUART you get all VKORG it is defined in. I'm not aware of a standard search help which matches the requirement. If anybody does please help me.
    i have header data (only mandatory fields),items data,partner data(all mandatory fields)
    and when i select all the header data the search help that is on the material number and partners role and number should appear corresponding to that header data
    You will have to be more specific sir..
    not able to apply please guide someone
    As for that just mention them in SCREEN->ELEMENT LIST->REFERENCES

  • REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY standard data validation routine

    I am using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to display data from a custom table and allowing users to edit some fields. When the save button is clicked SAP automatically validates some data fields (for example MATNR) and alerts the user if there is an error. This is great!! But I need to execute some custom code when the user clicks the SAVE button. If SAP has detected an error and is going to pop up the Error Log screen for the user, I do not want to execute my custom code.
    Does anyone know how to determine if SAP has detected problems with the data so I can skip my code and let the normal process flow continue?
    I thought about trying to check if the all field values were valid using my own coding, but when I use the method CHECK_CHANGED_DATA  only valid field values are transfered to my internal table. So invalid fields AND fields that the user did not enter values into are all coming back as blank.
    Here is a small portion of my code.
    FORM user_command  USING    r_ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm
                      rs_selfield TYPE slis_selfield.

  • What does document date represents in VA05 screen?

    Dear gurus,
    What does document date represents in VA05 screen?
    Thanks Regards

    Hi,
    It is the date on which the document is created.It is the date on which the sales document becomes valid for sales and distribution processing.
    The document date is different for each document. In the quotation, the document date is the date from which the quotation is valid. In the sales order, it is the date from which the agreement becomes binding.
    In general it will be the document creation date.

    Example  : i created Excise invoice on 17th june,2011 this is posting date of excise invoice, if i try to cancell on 17th june , it should allow.

    i heard there will be possible through User Exit  OR Function Module OR Routins ... Please help me
    Thanks and Regards
    Madhu

    Dear Madhusudhanan,
    Following are the list of User Exits available for J1IIN
    J_1I7_USEREXIT_EXCISE_BEF_SAVE User exit after the excise header and details are written and they can changed in J1IS  , J1IIN and Automatic creation of Excise Invoice.
    J_1I7_USEREXIT_EXINV_ADDL_DATA User exit for Excise Invoice Additional Data    in J1IS and J1IG                 
    J_1I7_USEREXIT_J1I5_MATFORM    User exit for J1I5 material form changes                           
    J_1I7_USEREXIT_J1I5_VALIDATE   User exit for subsequent J1I5 data validation

    J_1I7_USEREXIT_J1IS_BASE_VALUE User exit to Change base value in J1IS                
    I strongly believe that the first exit will serve the purpose.
    Now if you are cancelling it using J1IH, Check the following thread.

  • Data Validation - a feature that Numbers really needs.

    Right now, the newly purchased Numbers app for iPad/iPhone is little more than a crippled document viewer for me because numbers doesn't support 'data validation' (as implemented in excel).
    Its not a hard concept and likely utilized in a LOT of spreadsheets on the planet.  Not supporting such a critical feature is a problem, as it makes numbers, at least for me, rather pointless as an authoring tool since I cannot change or update data in my worksheet without likely corrupting the document's data integrity.
    Hopefully, someone at Apple is working on fixing this.
    Given that one cannot use data validation - how do I lock down a spreadsheet so I don't accidentally change cell contents?
    The fact that there is no 'undo' button on the iPhone version that I do get on the iPad (same app) makes it worse.. I'm occasionally and unintentionally dragging selections of stuff around the page really hosing up the iPhone spreadsheet.
    So I need to just remember what needs to be updated, update the excel spreadsheet when I can, then delete the iWork-iCloud doc, upload the replacement, then refresh the iPhone/iPad version.. very cumbersome and not at all 'cloud-like' or usefull.
    Apple developers.. are you paying attention?

    Yeah I know that apple likely has the same system as Microsoft in sending general support to a forum such as this. And maybe thae same stupid moron that not paying attention to the forums if their users is a food idea.
    That doesn't change the point of the issue nor that apple directs ,e here to ask said question

    I have a data form which have data validation on each cell.The dataform is quite large and contain data for 4 accounts and year (Jan to Dec) combination .The issue is that I when I migrate this data form to other application which is just the replica of the main application. The validation on each cells changes its reference points.
    I have 5 more similar data form and I need to migrate then to other application and also on production sever. Is there any way that while exporting and importing them using formutil.cmd or other way that the validation cells reference does not change its reference point.

    I am using 11.1.2.1.0 version of Hyperion Planning

  • How do I add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names?

    I'm on mac osx.
    I'm trying to add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names. (at the moment it's just 'Picture 1' etc..)
    I've tried the following command  in terminal but have not had success. please help!!
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture name "datestamp" at "timestamp"
    killall SystemUIServer

    Surely someone else will provide a better solution. Meanwhile, however, you might want to try the following script. Copy and paste the script into the AppleScript Editor's window and save it as an application. Then drop your screen capture files on the droplet's Finder icon.
    on open theDroppedFiles
        tell application "Finder"
            repeat with thisFile in theDroppedFiles
                set theFileName to name of thisFile
                if (word 1 of theFileName is "Picture") and ¬
                    (word 2 of theFileName = word -2 of theFileName) then
                    set theExtension to name extension of thisFile
                    set P to offset of theExtension in theFileName
                    set theCreationDate to creation date of thisFile

  • List data validation failed when creating a new list item but does not fail when editing an existing item

    Dear SharePoint Experts,
    Please help.
    Why does my simple formula work in Excel but not-work in SharePoint?
    Why does this formula...
    =IF([Request Type]="Review",(IF(ISBLANK([Request Date]),FALSE,TRUE)),TRUE)
    ...work in Excel but fail when I try to use it in SharePoint?
    The intent of this formula is the following...
    If the field "Request Type" has the value "Review" and the field "Request Data" is blank then show FALSE, otherwise show TRUE.
    SharePoint saves the formula, but when a list item is saved where the formula is implemented, (under List Settings, List Validation), SharePoint does not, say anything other than that the formula failed.
    Note that the "list data validation failed" error only happens when I am creating a new item-- the formula above works just fine when one is trying to Save on the edit form. 
    Can you help?
    Thanks.
    -- Mark Kamoski

    Dear Jason,
    I appreciate your efforts.
    However, it seems to me that this statement of yours is not correct...
    "If it meet the validation formula, then you can new or edit the item, otherwise, it will throw the 'list data validation failed' error, it is by design".
    I believe this is NOT the answer for the following reasons.
    When I create a new item and click Save, the validation error is "list data validation failed".
    When I edit an existing item and click Save, the validation error is "my custom error message" and this is, I believe, the way it needs to work each time.
    I think, at the core, the error my formula does not handle some condition of null or blank or other default value.
    I tried a forumla that casts the date back to a string, and then checked the string for a default value, but that did not work.
    I tried looking up the Correlation ID in the ULS when "list data validation failed" occurs, but that gave no useful information because, even though logging was set to Verbose, the stack trace in the error log was truncated and did not given any
    good details.
    However, it seems to me that SharePoint 2013 is not well-suited for complex validation rules, because...
    SharePoint 2013 list-level validation (NOT column-level validation) allows only 1 input for all the multi-field validation formulas in a given list-- so, if I had more than 1 multi-field validation rule to implement on a given list, it would need to be packed
    into that single-line-of-code forumla style, like Excel does. That is not practice to write, debug, or maintain.
    SharePoint 2013 list-level validation only allows 1 block of text for all such multi-field validation rules. So that will not work because I would have something like "Validation failed for one or more of the following reasons-- withdrawal cannot exceed
    available balance, date-of-birth cannot be after date-of-death,... etc". That will not work for me.
    The real and awesome solution would simply be enhancing SP 2013 so that column-level validation forumlas are able to reference other columns.
    But, for now, my workaround solution is to use JavaScript and jQuery, hook the onclick handler on the Save button, and that works good. The only problem, is that the jQuery validation rules run before any of the column-level rules created  with OOTB
    SP 2013. So, in some cases, there is an extra click for the enduser.
    Thanks,
