Hi there,
In your custom table, for  the date field use the dataelement "STRMN",, that should automatically gives you the search help for the date.
let me know if you have further queries,

  • HOW to ADD F4 help to a  field on SCREEN (MODULE POOL)

    Hi,
         How to add f4 help to a field in screen ..plz help
    Regards,
    Saleha

    Hi Saleha,
                    In order to add F4 help to a field in modeule pool follow these steps:-
    1. First go to SE11 and create your own search help( if you dont know how to create a search help please feel free to ask me, it is very easy).
    2. Now in your module pool program program go to the layout of your screen.
    3. Now when you see the attributes of this field in the Dict tab you will find the field Search Help. Now here you can specify the name of the search help you created in SE11.
    There is also another mehtod to create the dynamic search help. eg:- in a posted document data get the Document nos related to that company code.
    The sample code is like this:-
    First of all declare the module below in the flow logic of your screen then create it in your main program.
    You declare the module in the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
    PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
    FIELD TXT_DOCNO MODULE VALUE_BELNR.
    You also need to create an internal table where you wil store results of the select query fired below in the module.
    here you will get a F4 help on the filed Document Number(TXT_DOCNO) based on the field Company code (TXT_CODCO)
    MODULE VALUE_BELNR INPUT.
    progname = sy-repid.
      dynnum   = sy-dynnr.
      CLEAR: field_value, dynpro_values.
      field_value-fieldname = 'TXT_CODCO'.
      APPEND field_value TO dynpro_values.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
        EXPORTING
          tabname     = 'BKPF'
          fieldname   = 'BUKRS'
          dynpprog    = progname
          dynpnr      = dynnum
          dynprofield = 'TXT_CODCO'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_READ'
           EXPORTING
                dyname             = progname
                dynumb             = dynnum
                translate_to_upper = 'X'
           TABLES
                dynpfields         = dynpro_values.
      READ TABLE dynpro_values INDEX 1 INTO field_value.
      SELECT  BUKRS BELNR
        FROM  BKPF
        INTO  CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_doc1
        WHERE BUKRS = field_value-fieldvalue.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
           EXPORTING
                retfield    = 'BELNR'
                dynpprog    = progname
                dynpnr      = dynnum
                dynprofield = 'TXT_BELNR'
                value_org   = 'S'
           TABLES
                value_tab   = it_doc1.
    ENDMODULE.                 " VALUE_BELNR  INPUT
    Hope you find this information useful, let me know.

  • F4 help for two fields in screen

    hello,
    I have two fields in my table control which need F4 help in the screen.
    But one F4 search exit is implemented, but it populates only one field.
    but, on clicking f4 for one field, it should populate both the fields together.
    do help me with this issue...
    Can POH in the screen populate up two fields together???

    Hi Krithika ,
    In addition to checking up the export parameters for the Search healp you will have to define the Search Help attachment also. I'll paste the SAP Help Text below but in Simple terms
    You Define a structure with the fields to be returned and define the screen elements based on that structure . So on selection the structure is returned with all values and the screen elements are in referance to structure so all values get posted in screen.
    Here is the SAP HELP part
    "" From SAP HELP
    A search help attachment is an assignment of a search help to a table, structure or data element, causing the corresponding search help to be automatically used to describe the input help process at this field when an ABAP Dictionary field is used in a screen.
    You can attach a search help as follows:
    1. Attach a search help to a structure or table field: The attached search help is available for all screen fields that refer to the table or structure field. There must be an assignment between the interface parameters of the search help and the fields of the table or structure for this type of attachment. In the input help process, this assignment results in a value transport between the corresponding fields (if they are known at least to the module pool of the screen) and the search help parameters. As for the foreign key definition, you can assign nothing, a constant or any other field (which is then sought in the module pool) to indivdiual search help parameters.
    2. Attach a search help to a table: The assigned search help is available for all screen fields for which the table is a check table. There must also be an assignment between the search help parameters and the key fields of the table for this type of assignment.
    3. Attach a search help to a data element: The attached search help is available for all screen fields that refer to the data element. If the search help is attached to a data element, an export parameter of the search help must be assigned to the data element. If the user chooses a row of the hit list in the input help, the contents of this parameter are returned in the corresponding screen field. More than one value is not returned when a search help is attached to a data element.
    The described attachments only take effect if the field was not yet assigned an input help in the screen definition. Such an assignment can be made with the mechanism PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST in the flow logic or by attaching a search help to the screen field in the attribute maintenance screen. A F4 help can also be assigned to the field in the flow logic by using VALUES or SELECT. In the latter case, the input help here behaves as if the table specified under SELECT were assigned to the field as check table.
    If more than one of the described mechanisms compete in defining the input help method of a screen field, the first one named will take effect. If none of the described mechanisms is available, the domain fixed values of the field will be used for the input help if necessary. If the domain of the field has no fixed values but has data type DATS or TIMS, the input helps that are assigned to these types are used for the input help. Otherwise there will be no input help available for the field.
    A search help attachment always belongs to the definition of the object to which the attachment is made (structure, table or data element). It is also maintained in the maintenance transaction for this object and transported with this object.
    <b>REWARD IF USEFUL. It Works for me here..get back if any doubts.</b>

  • Search Help error : Invalid field format Screen error

    Hi All,
    I have attached a search help to contract field for contract no and item number. (in my own screen developed in a  report)
    The search help picks up data and assigns it to the fields,
    But after this when I click on any other button, I get error saying :
    <b>Invalid Field Format (Screen Error) !!!</b>
    Any pointers guys !!!
    Warm Regards,
    Girish

    screen checks in abapautomatically checks for format of field when u enter data....i.e date, integer etc...the problem in this case is that when u seelct a value using the help it is filling a value which is not the correct format...so check for the data types and test it again...this is definitely the problem.

  • Help with Date Field properties

    I have a problem setting properties for date field. I want date in mm/dd/yy format, that i am able to but I want something like this. When someone enters date as just numbers like 080708, it should automatically make it as 08/07/08.
    I tried doing some setting but couldn't find any help appreciated.
    thanks

    You will need to adjust the validation patterns in the Value tab on the object palette. There are four patterns that you can play with (Display, Edit, Validation and Data). Each pattern will affect the field data at different times. To get access to the patterns click on the Validation Pattern...button. A new dialog will open up with the 4 patterns available to you. The display pattern is how the data will be shown on screen. The edit pattern is how the user will enter the data, the Validation pattern is how the field will be validated and the Data pattern is how the data will appear in the saved XML.
    In your case you will want to set a disply pattern of DD/MM/YY and an edit pattern of DDMMYY. This will allow the user to enter 080708 or 08/07/08 and it will display 08/07/08 all of the time.
    Hope that helps

  • F4 help for Date field and Validation

    Hi Friends,

    I want simple steps to get F4 for a field on Page as well as date field .
    and How to valid those entered dates.

    I think you guys will help me out.
    Thanks,

    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"

  • 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 !

  • How to add a search help for a field in Screen Personas?

       I just started learning to use a Screen Personas, and I want to know how to add a search help for a field.
       I found a property in the help document named "IsLookupSupported". Is it the key?  But I saw it was gray in the field I created, and its value is "false". I could not change it.

    Hi, Tamas,
    I found the reason. The function Z_WEBRFC_READ_DATA_SH had a string concatenation error.
    CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
    The correct code is like:
    CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},{"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
    Another question is, I can't get any words in Chinese from WebRFC. It returns error when I try it. How can I configure it?
