FM for F4 help on a custom table

Hi ,
Is there any FM which can show the values of a particular field of a custom table.
e.g. I have a custom table in which one of the fields in user id.
Now I wanna show it as a pop up in which the field would be user id. Now if the user clicks on f4 help of this field , I wanna show him all the values of this field from the custom table.
Please suggest how this can be done.
Regards,
Divyanshu

There are a number of ways to do this. Here is one. This example program gets values from T001 for F4 help. You can use your custom table instead.
report zrich_0001 .
tables: t001.
data: begin of it001 occurs 0,
      bukrs type t001-bukrs,
      butxt type t001-butxt,
      ort01 type t001-ort01,
      land1 type t001-land1,
      end of it001.
select-options s_bukrs for t001-bukrs.
initialization.
select bukrs butxt ort01 land1 into table it001 from t001.
sort it001 ascending by bukrs.
delete adjacent duplicates from it001 comparing bukrs.
at selection-screen on value-request for s_bukrs-low.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       exporting
            retfield    = 'BUKRS'
            dynprofield = 'S_BUKRS'
            dynpprog    = sy-cprog
            dynpnr      = sy-dynnr
            value_org   = 'S'
       tables
            value_tab   = it001.

Converting garbled characters for JAPANESE characters in a custom table

Hi all,

Is there any SAP tool that can I use to make the correction on those garbled Japanese characters?

Hi Nils,
I really really really had a field day reading and testing around UC... To my dissappointment, I do not have the authorization to use SUMG and SCP too as well as a few of the TCODES...
I finally told my higher level technical mgnt. that this table might need some changes...
Has this problem of mine got anything to do with MDMP since its no longer supported in ECC6 and I found one coding that search for MDMP in RSVTPROT...
My colleagues suggest that the data be corrected from table DBTABLOG... which i find, in my opinion, is not the right way...
Thanks,

How to CHECK WHETHER LOWER CASE OR UPPER CASE IN CUSTOM TABLE

Dear Friends,
                 I have a requirement where from the flat file i have collected into the internal table is as below :
IDNo.     Name     Date      Location   Designation Dept
101       raja      4/12/2007 Delhi      manager      HR
102       james    4/12/2007 Delhi      clerk          HR
now iam checking against my custom table where iam   if the designation for the employee name already exists then i shouldnt modify/update the custom table that record
now iam facing a problem where is the flat file is always having the Lower Case only ,
as per the scenario if my custom table already have the employee name i shouldnt modify/update i.e i shouldnt overwrite,
this scenario is working but it is failing in the case
by chance in the Custom table the employee name or designation is in Upper Case the condition where iam checking in the code is failing as the flat file data coming into the internal table is having always lower Case.
So could any one please let me know how i should check in my custom table whether iam having upper case or lower case and how can i make it lower case ?
because iam able to manage in the case where if the flat file data coming in Upper case i can check before only by
using Translate to lower case . how i unalbe to check for the data coming from the Custom table if in Uppercase , so i want to change that to lower case then checking my condition whether that data already exists in my custom table before modifying the data coming from the flat .
because the condition is failing when the data in the custom table is in upper case and the Flat file data is in lower case.
please help how i can check for the data in the Custom table is in upper case and then change it to lower case.
Regards
Madhuri.

Hi Madhuri,
Translate both data in your flat file & custom table to lowercase before comparing them. With that, you're able to identify if there's a differences in for both data.
If you're putting data that is pulled from custom table, what you can do is after selecting/reading the data, translate to lowercase or uppercase (whichever you prefer) but make sure if you translate to lowercase, your data in the flat file must be lowercase to and vice versa.
Happy doing !!..

Search help for fields in custom table..

hi,
in my custom table i have two fields - table name and field name. when user selects table name as VBAP , for field names i need all the fields in VBAP to be displayed and for that I set the check table as DD03L and I am able to see all the fields. But i am not able to see the description of the fields rather seeing field name , other key fields of DD03L.
How do i get to display something like
field name - description - length (length of the field as defined in DDIC)
If search help will help then can u pl tell me how to create one ? or any standard can be used ?
thanks

Yes, you need to create search help and assign it to the field 'field name'
Please search SDN for how to create search help. There are 100's of threads with this
By the way the texts can be found in table DD03T for tables as well as for fields

Need help for record deletion from custom table

Hi friends
I have to write a custom program which will be generic to delete any table record with date field.
This program needs to be generic (should be able to delete records from any custom table) in nature with selection screen parameters as:
Table Name and Number of Days prior to which records are deleted, both mandatory.
Program Flow:
1.     From number of days calculate date before which records are deleted, ( current date u2013 no. of days = past date).
2.     Custom table have date field, delete records prior to that date.
3.     Program may be scheduled for background job, put default values for both fields. No. of days should not be less than 60.
4.     Classical Report output with number of records deleted.
My query is how will I know the name of the Date field so that I can write a DELETE query.
If I use 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET' it gives me all field names but how to filter out?
with regards
samikhya

Hi
I have added field on the selection screen as p_fieldname and got the F4 help for it , so that the user will get the field name run time as per the table name.
Now I am facing problem while writing the DELETE query.
I wrote like
DELETE (fp_tab)
where (fp_fieldname) LE date
It is not working. I also tried with taking a string to concatenate fp_fieldname, LE and date to l_string
when I write like this:
DELETE (fp_tab)
where (l_string) , sy-subrc is getting 4 and no records are getting deleted.
I do not understand where the dynamic Delete is failing??

Create search helps for fields of custom tables

Hi,
Could any one please provide me the step by step process to create search helps for fields in custom tables?
Thanks in advance,
Nobin.

Hello Nobin
There is basically no difference between a search help for standard vs. customer tables.
An important choise is the selection method for your search help:
Either you use your custom table, a view or a search help user-exit if you need to implement very specific requirements.
Assuming that you can use your DB table as selection method the further implementation of the search help is quite straightforward:
(1) Define the parameters you would like to have a selection criteria (SPos = SPos) and which should appear on the result list (= LPos).
(2) Define the parameters that can be used as input for the selection (flag IMP) and are returned by the search help (flag EXP)

Hi Kelly,
I guess <wa_tab>-handle_style is of type lvc_t_styl therefore you can do the following:
ls_edit-style = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled.
"I assume you know your non-key fields' names so you can use subrotuine to perform update on each of them
ls_edit-fieldname = 'First field name' .
PERFORM update ls_edit.
ls_edit-fieldname = 'Second field name'.
PERFORM update ls_edit.
ls_edit-fieldname = 'Third field name'.
PERFORM update ls_edit
FORM update USING fs_edit type lvc_s_styl.
field-symbols: <style_tab> type lvc_t_styl,
 <style_wa> type lvc_s_styl.
LOOP AT <tab> ASSIGNING <wa_tab>.
 if e_row = sy-tabix .
 "get you style table
 assign component 'HANDLE_STYLE' of structure <wa_tab> to <style_tab>.
 "as <style_tab> is typed fully you can read the row you are interested in
 read table <style_tab> assigning <style_wa> with key fieldname = fs_edit-fieldname
 if sy-subrc = 0.
 "update this entry
 <style_wa> = fs_edit.
* modify table <style_tab> from <style_wa>.
 endif.
 endif.
endloop.
endform.
Note!
Though, this should work, the use of RTTI as Uwe suggested would be best practise approach as far as dynamic programming is concerned. Anyhow it is still up to you which one you pick.
Regards
Marcin
I noticed now that this line is not necessary
modify table <style_tab> from <style_wa>.
as we simply are working with field symbols, so changes made to <style_wa> are already visible in that table <style_tab>.

HELP NEEDED: Use a new record for a customized table as a workflow trigger

Hi SAP Workflow Gurus,
Good day!
One of our requirements is to have the creation of a new record in a custom database table trigger a workflow. I read and followed the steps as indicated in this link
http://www.****************/Tutorials/Workflow/Table/events.htm
As a summary, here is what I did:
1. Created a subroutine for the custom table ZPA2003 for the create event
2. Defined this event as a trigger for the custom workflow WS90000019
3. Maintained and activated the event linkage via SWETYPV
Basically I tried following the instructions indicated on the link
Note that the entries for the custom table are created via a function module.
Now during testing of the workflow, the system was able to complete the notification message. However, when I triggered the event via creation of the entry in the custom db table nothing happened
1. Is there a way to debug/find out whether the link between the subroutine in the table and event itself are connected?
2. I also tried running the event trace to check the activities executed but found nothing.
Can you guys help me check on what I may have missed out?
Regards,

Hi All,
Basically these are the requirements for the work schedule substitution:
1. Employee enters the request via ESS (custom portal transaction)
2. Upon saving of the entry (request) in a custom table, this should trigger the workflow at the backend
3. The Manager should then receive a work item in his Universal Worklist at the MSS side of the portal
4. Upon clicking on the work item, a new screen will pop up showing the work schedule substitution details as well as an interface which will allow him to enter his/her usage decision
5. Depending on the decision, the workflow must execute the necessary notifications as well as changes in the custom and PA2003 tables
Now, we have accomplished step 1 and I am currently in the process for step 2. Now I have some queries:
1. For the Manager to view and approve the substitution details, I used two methods for each process (view and approve) since our ABAPer mentioned that this cannot be done in 1 function module. Is there a way to simplify this step or is it really valid that they need to be executed in 2 different methods?
2. As per our ABAPer, function Modules only import and export variables; they do not have the facility of say having tags on the details being displayed. Hence, if the details are 10001 (Employee Number), 10/20/2011 (Start Date), 10/25/2011 (End Date) the output would be 10001, 10/20/2011, 10/25/2011. Is there a way within the function module (or dynpro interface) to show it like this: Employee Number: 10001
Start Date: 10/20/2011
End Date: 10/25/2011
3. Speaking of dynpro applications, do I need to still develop one to allow the Manager to view and approve/reject the request via the MSS portal upon accessing the work item via the UWL? How would the work item go about calling the dynpro application? or is this even possible?
It would have been easier if the facility would not pass through workflows since it will be just direct web dynpro/ABAP calls. Having to include it as a work item in the UWL puts a certain twist to it
Your inputs are well-appreciated.

Custom Table for Verifying Duplicate Invoice against Legacy Invoice Data

Hi All,
We are trying to upload legacy invoice data in a custom table. Then we want to use SAP duplicate invoice check functionality to look for the potential duplicate invoice from this custom table as well apart from the standard SAP tables.
If you know of some user exit or any function module which I can use to link this custom table with the standard SAP duplicate invoice check functionality then it would be of great help.
Regards,
Sanjay

Hi Jurgan!
Thanks for the reply,
We are using ECC6,

I have ensured that message M8108 (if accounting documents are found) is maintained as an error message in OMRM.
Still system is allowing duplicate invoices for the reference nos. 00082 and 00072.
For other reference Nos. which are previously used for other documents, system issues error message successfully.
I dont want to delete archived accounting doc. and if I maintaind BKPF entris of this archived doc manually it will create probelm in FI.

Project Server 2010 - create a custom enterprise project field for persons (no text, no lookup table...)

I want to create a custom enterprise project field and would like to use instead of for example a text attribute or a look-up table a field for employees (e.g. project manager) which are coming e.g. from the Active Directory. But when creating this custom
project field I cannot see such an option. What solution do you suggest as I want to avoid that everybody uses different names and spellings for e.g. the project manager and without having to fill the lookup table with all resources of the company.
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,
Are you using Proejct Server 2007, 2010, 2013?
In case you're working with 2010 version, here is an excellent
blog about how to insert a resource picker in a PDP (project detail page).
Hope this helps,
