F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST Problem

Question

Hi Folks,
I have problem with FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST
Here is the scenario.
i have interbnal table tbwerks[] that contains plant and description(two fields).
DATA: BEGIN OF tbwerks OCCURS 10,
       werks LIKE t001w-werks,
       name1 like t001w-name1,
      END OF tbwerks .
then i am populating values to internal table.
now i want to display all the plants in listbox.
for that i am using the following FM
  CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       EXPORTING
            retfield        = 'TBWERKS-WERKS'
            value_org       = 'S'
       TABLES
            value_tab       = tbwerks[]
       EXCEPTIONS
            parameter_error = 1
            no_values_found = 2
            OTHERS          = 3.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
  ENDIF.
But, here i am getting all descriptions insted of plants.
can't we use internal table with two fields here..?
what could be the problem..

Hei Sara,
I've the similar requirement as yours. In my case, the two columns are Administrator and Administrator name ( instead of plant and plant description ) and I've solved the problem this way :
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_sachx.
  PERFORM build_dropdown.
FORM build_dropdown.
  TYPES:BEGIN OF ty_admin,
         sachx LIKE t526-sachx,
         sachn LIKE t526-sachn,
        END OF ty_admin.
  DATA:it_admin  TYPE  TABLE OF ty_admin,
       it_return TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ddshretval.
  DATA:wa_admin  LIKE LINE OF it_admin,
       wa_return LIKE LINE OF it_return.
  DATA:l_retfield TYPE  dfies-fieldname.
Get HR administrators
SELECT sachx sachn FROM t526 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_admin
                   WHERE sachx LIKE 'H%'.
  CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      retfield        = l_retfield
      value_org       = 'S'
    TABLES
      value_tab       = it_admin
      return_tab      = it_return
    EXCEPTIONS
      parameter_error = 1
      no_values_found = 2
      OTHERS          = 3.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.
  READ TABLE it_return INTO wa_return INDEX 1.
  READ TABLE it_admin INTO wa_admin WITH KEY
                  sachn = wa_return-fieldval.
  WRITE wa_admin-sachx TO p_sachx.
Refresh it_admin, otherwise valuse in the drop-down will keep on
adding up each time
  REFRESH:it_admin.
ENDFORM.                    " build_dropdown
It's working fine...
