Field Exits Function

Hai, can we use the field exits function to copy from other field value?
for example, when we entering the date inside the screen 01/01/2012, then we exit the fields, this value will direct copy to other field? that mean both for the field is the same value. can it be done inside the SAP?
My consultant said this cannot be done. hope some of the expert at here can give me a solution.

Hi,
What is the transaction code you are trying for? Generally, field exits are not recommended due to performance issues. However, it is possible to copy a value from one field to another field using BADIs. Kindly check if there are any BADIs available or not for your transaction code.
Thanks and regards,

How to call an include in a field Exit?

Hi Guys,
              i am having a doubt ,How to call an Include in a field Exit function module.
            i wrote as "include zxx_incl." but if i wrote like this in my Field Exit i am getting a Suntax error
"Recursive INCLUDE nesting in program "ZFLDEXIT_INCL". It contains an
INCLUDE statement which calls itself or a previously read program
("ZFLDEXIT_INCL                           ").
'                 i am having other doubt while creating an include program does we need to write a 1st statement as include zxx-incl within the same include ZXX_incl? if not i am getting a syntaxt error.
thanks,
Gopi.

Yes, thats the problem.
Your include is named ZFLDEXIT_INCL and in the first line of that include you probbaly wrote
include ZFLDEXIT_INCL.
Delete that, includes don't need a reserved word like programs and reports

Field Exit for VA11 screen ?

Hello Abapers,
I need ur help to find out the field exit available for VA11 screen.
How to find the field exit wht is the procedure?
Thks

Hi Venkateswar,
First you check this link once.,
http://www.****************/Tutorials/ExitsBADIs/MK01/FieldExit.htm
Field exits are frozen on the 4.6C maintenance level and are not further developed. This means that the existing functionality is kept with all restrictions (see also the last item below). Existing exits can be further used and are called at runtime as usual.
Existing exits can be maintained using program RSMODPRF (run the program using transaction SE38). Activation of the field exits and assignment of the dynpros can also be carried out using program RSMODPRF. For this purpose, the program must be started without parameters (input fields remain blank).
If required, new field exits can be created using program
RSMODPRF (see the program documentation).
Please find below the step by step procedure for field exit :-
There are eight steps to creating a field exit:
Step 1: Determine Data Element
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
Step 3: Create Field Exit
Step 4: Create Function Module
Step 5: Code Function Module
Step 6: Activate Function Module
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
Step 1: Determine Data Element
Before you can begin adding the functionality for a field exit, you must know the corresponding data element.
An easy way to determine the data element associated to a particular screen field is to:
Go the appropriate screen.
Position the cursor in the appropriate field.
Press F1 for field-level help.
Click on the Technical info pushbutton (or press F9) on the help dialog box.
On this Technical Information dialog box, the data element will be specified if the field is 'painted' from the ABAP/4 Dictionary.
Step 2: Go To Field Exit Transaction
The transaction to create field exits is CMOD.
You can use the menu path Tools -> ABAP/4 Workbench -> Utilities -> Enhancements -> Project management.
From the initial screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Text enhancements -> Field exits menu path.
After choosing this menu path, you will be taken to the field exits screen. From here, you can create a field exit.
NOTE : Even though you use transaction CMOD to maintain field exits, you do not need to create a project to activate field exits.
Step 3: Create Field Exit
From the field exit screen of transaction CMOD, choose the Field exit -> Create menu path.
After choosing this menu path, a dialog box will prompt you for the appropriate data element .
Enter the data element name and click the Continue pushbutton.
Now, you will be able to create the function module associated to the data elements field exit.
Step 4: Create Function Module
You will automatically be taken to the Function Library (SE37) after entering a data element name and clicking the Continue pushbutton.
In the Function module field, a function module name will be defaulted by the system based on the data element specified. This name will have the following convention:
FIELD_EXIT_<data element>
You can add an identifier (an underscore followed by a single character ).
The first function module for a data elements field exit must be created without an identifier.
To create the function module, click on the Create pushbutton, choose menu path Function module -> Create, or press F5.
After choosing to create the function module, you will get the warning: "Function module name is reserved for SAP". This message is just a warning so a developer does not accidentally create a function module in the field exit name range. By pressing Enter, you will be able to go ahead and create the function module.
Before coding the function module, you will have to specify the function modules attributes -- function group, application, and short text.
Step 5: Code Function Module
From the function modules attributes screen, click on the Source code pushbutton or choose the Goto -> Function module menu path to the code of the function module.
Here you will add your desired functionality for the field exit.
Remember that field exits function module will have two parameters -- one importing parameter called "INPUT" and one exporting parameter called "OUTPUT". These parameters will be set up automatically by the system.
You must remember to assign a value to the OUTPUT field. Even if the value does not change, it must be moved from the INPUT field to the OUTPUT field.
Step 6: Activate Function Module
After coding the function module, you must remember to activate it.
Use the Function module -> Activate menu path to activate the function module.
At this point, you can return to the field exit transaction.
You should be able to 'green arrow' back to this transaction.
When you return to the field exit transaction, you will see an entry for the newly created field exit.
At this point, the field exit is global. That is, it applies to all screens that use a particular data element. On any screen that uses the data element, the corresponding field exit function module will be triggered, once it is active.
Also, the field exit will not be triggered yet because it is inactive.
Step 7: Assign Program/Screen
This step is only needed if you want to make a field exit local.
To make a field exit local, select the field exit and click on the Assign prog./screen pushbutton.
In the dialog box , indicate the appropriate program name and screen number.
This information indicates that the field exit is local to the specified screen in the specified program.
In the dialog box, you determine which function module gets executed for the field exit by specifying the identifier in the Fld. Exit field.
If this field is left blank, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>'.
If a single-character identifier is entered into the field, the function module triggered will be 'FIELD_EXIT_<data element>_<identifier>'.
Step 8: Activate Field Exit
The field exit must be active for it to be triggered by the system.
Activate the field exit by choosing the Field exit -> Activate menu path.
After assigning the field exit to a change request, its status will change to Active and it will be triggered automatically on the appropriate screen(s).
NOTE : In order to activate the field exit the profile parameter abap/fieldexit = YES must be set on all application servers
Please reward points if helpful.

Now a simple question of Field exit.

well, im really very glad because my last post was a success and i can solve de problem!!!!thank you all...
this time i need in the VF01 on one field ('Reference'/Xblnr), when the user press save, to show some popup allowing entry data, so the user may choose some keys from a Ztable that i have to create, and then continue saving.
May i use a field exit for this?what steps shall i follow to activate a field exit and put my code?
Note: there isn't an User exit that appear in the moment i need, the one i asked in my last post doesn't work for this and any of the others finded in ZFindexit. when i'm debugging <b>'perform userexit_pricing_prepare_tkomk' </b>
appeared, is this an User exit? inside this perform i have changed manually while debugging the field i need and the proccess ended OK. how can i activate this exit?
well, i'm sure that someone know the asnwer....
i'll be very glad with the ones who can help me!!!!
and i'll give points in rewards for those who help me as a gratefulness of my part...
i'm waiting your help, thank in advance....

Hi andrew,
you will have a standard program RSMODPRF for field exits.
Execute that program and create a a field exit(function module) for 'XBLNR' giving the data element of XBLNR and number of the field exit as inputs.
There you can write the related code...
Hope this helps you.

Implement Field Exit within program
For this example I am using dta element 'EBELN' from table EKKO.
Step 1: Execute program 'RSMODPRF', entering the data element of the field
Step 2:Create function module when prompted, and add you code to the source section using the parameter 'INPUT' as the field value you are checking
Step 3:      Save and activate Function and execute transaction 'CMOD'.
Step 4:      Choose option: Goto-> Text Enhancements->Data elements->New DE cust docu.
Step 3:      Save and activate Function and execute transaction 'CMOD'.
Step 4:      Choose option: Goto-> Text Enhancements->Data elements->New DE cust docu.
Step 5:      Enter data element
Step 6:      Save and activate
Step 7: Execute program 'RSMODPRF' again but this time leave data element field blank. Step 8: Select the checkbox for the data element you have just created and choose option: Field exit->Activate This will now be active for all instances of this data element, but you can assign specific program and screen combinations by pressing the 'Assign prog./screen' button. You can also change the code you entered in the field exit function module by pressing the 'Edit FM' button.

Regarding field exit

hi guru
my requirement is that i want to change a predefined field lenth 9 character. to 12 character. how can i do it.
please help me.

ABAP DICTIONARY
Field Exits:
     Field exits take you from a screen field with a data element reference to a function module. Field exits can be either global or local.
Field exit function modules adhere to the following naming convention:
prefix:     FIELD_EXIT_
name:     <data element name>_
suffix (optional):     0 to 9, A to Z
Global field exits are not limited to a particular screen. If a global field exit's data element is used on multiple screens, you will branch to a function module from all of these screens once the exit has been activated. Here you can, for example, edit the contents, force a new entry to be made by outputting an error message, or prohibit certain users from proceeding further.
Local field exits are valid for one screen only. If you assign a screen from a specific program to the data element, then you will only branch to a function module from this screen once the exit has been activated. To be able to allow different functionality on different screens referring to the same data element, you can assign exit numbers to data elements. Each exit number refers to a different function module.
prefix:     FIELD_EXIT_
name:     <data element name>_
suffix (optional):     0 to 9, A to Z
   Field Exits It is triggered at field level.
      It is attached at data element
     Specific to one screen only or to all the screen where field appears.
     Field exit is not allowed in SAP version 4.7 and above .
Example with screen shots for consultants working in
SAP V 4.6 below version.

Field Exit with DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE

Hello, I am trying to develop a validation in a SAP transaction (XD01) to check some field values and if them are right then fill automatically the rest of the field in the screen, using a Function Modulo and the FM DYNP_VALUES_READ I am able to retrieve the field values correctly, my problem is when a try to fill the rest of the screen's fields with FM DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE it doesn't work. Does anybody have used this FM? is possible what I am trying to do?
Thanks in advice for your help.

Hi Fernando,
Using Field exit we can't populate multiple fileds, One filed exit is applicable for only one input filed.If you want to implement the
filed exit for multiple fileds you have to implement the one exit for one filed.

Creation of field exit in ECC

hi friends,
i am facing a problem while creating a field exit in ECC. I need to create the field exit on field vkorg and i have created using the program RSMODPERF and the system itself proposing the function module name as 'FIELD_EXIT_VKORG' and i have created the function as well. but when i try to assign program and screen to that field exit then one pop up is coming with three options one is field exit, second one is program, third one is screen. But in first option in f4 help only two options are there one is 0-9, and A-Z. If i select one of that and if i press save then error is coming saying ki FIELD_EXIT_VKORG_1 not exist like that. How to assign program and screen number for the same. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

check whether u have done the following stepd after coding the Function module..
After coding, activate the function. And back again to the transaction CMOD.
The Field Exit will be assigned but still in u2018Inactiveu2019 status and u2018Globalu2019 program
To make it useful for the specified transaction (program name and the screen number of the destination field), we have to assign the function by giving the u2018Checku2019 , and click u2018Assign prog./.screenu2019 , assign the u2018Program Nameu2019 and the u2018Screen numberu2019 and press u2018ENTERu2019. Then activate.

Reading Data From a Different Planning Package in a Exit Function

Hi,
Is it possible to read data from a planning level / package other than the package that the exit function was executed with? I want to read data into an internal table from another package and use that data in combination with the data in the current package to create new records. If this is possible sample code for how to read data from a different package would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Mel Waldner

Hi,
As an example lets say you have restricted 0calmonth in your package to 6.2007. In the planning layout to fetch values for 5.2007 (read only), you can take 0calmonth in data columns, and for this column restrict it as 5.2007.
Similarly in Planning functions, you can mark 0calmonth as field to be changed and fetch data for 5.2007.
Hope this helps.

Field Exit for Z Program

Hi Gurus,
I have created a Z program with a MARA-EAN11 data element field which is necessary to read MARA table and return its material code (MATNR) in a text field after ENTER key pressed.
It was created also a Field Exit called FIELD_EXIT_EAN11 and it is working fine in test mode (SE37), but when I try to trigger by ENTER key in my Z program, it is not being executed.
What Am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Michel Khouri

Hi Max,
This programs already exits and now it is being implemented Bar Code functionality. The program will read the bar code and then call a routine to fill some fields automatically, as example: Material Code, Materia description, EAN and so on...
The idea is create a new screen (CALL Screen FM) to put those data.
That's the reason to use Field Exit after EAN field/ENTER Key actions.
Thanks again,
Michel Khouri
