Hi Friends,
I am new to BSP programming .I knew getting F4 help in normal ABAP.But i don't know in BSP .
I want simple steps to get F4 for a field on Page as well as date field .
and How to valid those entered dates.
Presently i am using length 10 character variable for DATE without F4 help and No validation.
I think you guys will help me out.
Thanks,
Venkat.O

Welcome to SDN.
for F4 help with validation for dates you can use the following code.
<htmlb:inputField id         = "wf_ad_date"
                                type       = "date"
                                showHelp   = "TRUE"
                                value = "<%= sy-datum %>"
                                visible    = "true"
                                disabled   = "false"
                                required   = "true"
                                maxlength = "10"
                                size       = "10"
                                doValidate = "true"
                                design     = "standard" />

F4 help for date field in ITS

hi all;
I was working on ESS Leave Request, i am using the standard program SAPMWS20000081H and the service template WS20000081.
Now in the EP view i am unable to get the F4 help for the date field 'Absence From' & 'Absence To'. i have checked the data element used it is 'DATS'.
How to get the F4 help in the view, please help me its of high priority.

Hi, I can tell you what we have done. I can see that the original template displays the "Absence from" field this way :
<tr> <td>`SAP_TemplateEditableField("FromDay", fieldLabel=ABSENCEFROM030150.label, fieldLabelWidth="170", name="ABSENCEFROM030150", value=ABSENCEFROM030150, size="10", maxlength="10", marginTop=9, inspectionText=ABSENCEFROMDAY, align="",
required="", width="", onchange="update_checkn(this.SAP_value, this)" )` </td>
</tr>
We modified the template to display it like this :
<tr><td> `SAP_Field("ABSENCEFROM030150","ABSENCEFROM030150", DynproLabelWidth="170")` </td></tr>
We did the same for ABSENCETO040150. So you can play around with the template to generate the F4 button. ( Note that we also added the ~webgui parameter in the service file and set it to 1, this in order to generate the calendar ). Good luck !

Help for date field value

I want to manually modify something in our ERP system. But I find some fields in table which is in date type have the value '0000-00-00'. How can I insert the same value to the database?
Our DBMS is oracle 816.
SQL> select to_char(t$curd,'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss') from triton.ttdsls051702
2 where
3 t$orno = 104497;
TO_CHAR(T$CURD,'YYY
0000-00-00 00:00:00
0000-00-00 00:00:00
0000-00-00 00:00:00
SQL> select to_date('0000-00-00' , 'yyyy-mm-dd') from dual;
select to_date('0000-00-00' , 'yyyy-mm-dd') from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01843: not a valid month
Please offer me some help. Thank you!

Oracle has some funny ideas about dates. I tried this on 8.0.6, 8.1.7 and 9.0.1.
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('01-01-0001','dd-mm-yyyy'),'j') FROM dual;
TO_CHAR
1721424
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('1721423','j'),'dd-mm-yyyy') FROM dual;
SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('1721423','j'),'dd-mm-yyyy') FROM dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
but ...
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('1721424','j')-1,'dd-mm-yyyy') FROM dual;
TO_CHAR(TO
00-00-0000
again but...
SQL> CREATE TABLE t (dt DATE);
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t SELECT TO_DATE('1721424','j')-1 from dual;
1 row created.
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format = 'dd-mm-yyyy';
Session altered.
SQL> select * from t;
DT
31-12-0000
yet again but ...
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(dt,'dd-mm-yyyy') FROM t;
TO_CHAR(DT
00-00-0000I think it is probably safe to set those dates to null, or some other acceptable default value depending on what t$curd means in your application.

Search help for custome field with different data type

Hi Friends,
I have Created a custom table in which i have created a field is
ZMATLONG which stores material number.
Now the data element is zdmat which is of char 40..
Now i want to give search help for this field ZMATLONG..
I have tried many ways giving search help to this field
a) i Tried to attach the standard search help of MATNR ie : MAT1 but its showing me data type inconsistancy
b) i created a zsearch help and in the selection method i have used database table mara , again here iam getting the same error data type inconsistancy...
Now how can i give the search help like matnr field to my custom field ZMATLONG...
How can i do it..?
Thanks in Advance..
Regards
Kumar

Hi,
MATNR ahs length 18 and ZMATLONG has length 40.So due to this u cannot use MAT1 search help.
best way would be cope MAT1 into Z search help. Then in the search help parameter change the data element of field
MATNR as ZMATLONG.
Now if you assign Z search help to ZMATLONG it will work.
I tried this its working fine.

Validation For Date,String and Date in a reports Region

Apex 4
Good day to all apex users How do I validate a apex_item.text if the value is string the user can only input a string value if it is number then the user can input numbers only and if it is a date the user can only input a date values?

APEX_ITEMS are not part of the default apex gui... In fact they are just functions which returns html.
You can however do some stuff with the attributes parameters. You can find some cool stuff over here: Re: Validation For Date,String and Date in a reports Region
If you want apex validation you need to create a page validation and loop over your apex_items with apex_application.g_f0x
