How to assign program/screen to a Field exit in ECC 5.0

Through program RSMODPRF i have given the dataelement and executed and created the function module and activated it.
1.Now in my Documentation its given to assign the field exit to a program/screen.How should do it(i meant to go to which transaction and procedure how to do it).
2.I also want to know whether the field exits can be created for sap's data elements only or even data elements starting with z.
Plz tell me if anyone knows answers to these.
Regards
Sajid

Hi,
Just execute RSMODPRF program without any entry in selection -screen,
then select ur dataelement and then press change and there u can define the program screen no in which u want to do this change to be activated.
Assign Program/Screen.
After giving the program name and screen name.. activae it..
Then it will work for only the program u gave in the dataelement assigning.....
not for all the programs it uses...

How can i find screen group system field?

Hi all,
How can i find screen group system field?
Thanks,
Nidhi Kothiyal

Hi,
Do you mean by the screen-group which we give for the fields to be active or inactive in module pool?
You can find it in the attributes window which comes by double clicking on the field. In that give the group name in the 1st box in GROUPS.
Thanks,

Documentation about Screen, Menu and Field Exits

Hi all!!
I need some documentation about Screen, Menu and Field Exits.
I´m very interested specially on steps by steps.
My mail is [email protected]
Helpful posts will be rewarded.
Thanks in advance and regards,
Manuel.

Types of Exits 
There are several different types of user exits. Each of these exits acts as hooks where you can attach or "hang" your own add-ons.
Menu Exits
Menu exits add items to the pulldown menus in standard SAP applications. You can use these menu items to call up your own screens or to trigger entire add-on applications.
SAP creates menu exits by defining special menu items in the Menu Painter. These special entries have function codes that begin with "+" (a plus sign). You specify the menu items text when activating the item in an add-on project.
Screen Exits
Screen exits add fields to screens in R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special subscreen areas on a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from the standard screens flow logic.
Function Module Exits 
Function module exits add functions to R/3 applications. Function module exits play a role in both menu and screen exits.
When you add a new menu item to a standard pull down menu, you use a function module exit to define the actions that should take place once your menu is activated.
Function module exits also control the data flow between standard programs and screen exit fields. SAP application developers create function module exits by writing calls to customer functions into the source code of standard R/3 programs.
These calls have the following syntax:
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION 001.
Field Exits
Field exits allow you to create your own programming logic for any data element in the Dictionary. You can use this logic to carry out checks, conversions, or business-related processing for any screen field. Example: The data element BBBNR identifies a companys international location number. You might want to set up your R/3 System so that all international location numbers are larger than 100.
The field exit concept lets you create a special function module that contains this logic.
You assign the special function module to the data element BBBNR. You then assign the module to any programs and screens in which users can add new international location numbers. When you activate your field exit, the system automatically triggers your special routine whenever a user enters a company location number.
In 4.6c, you can use "RSMODPRF" program to create field exits.
An example of a user exits :-
MODULE user_exit_0001 INPUT
 CASE okcode.
 WHEN 'BACK OR EXIT'.
 CASE sy-dynnr.
 WHEN '100'.
 SET SCREEN 0.
 LEAVE SCREEN.
 WHEN '200'.
**** Note that you can write any code that satisfy your needs. ****
**** But in this case, this was wrote as a sample code for reference sake. ****
**** And you can test it. ****
 SET SCREEN 100.
 LEAVE SCREEN.
 ENDCASE.
 ENDCASE.
reward points if it is usefull..

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

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.

Field exit in ECC 6.0

Hi experts,
I am trying to write a field exit for Quantity field (data element: co_menge) in the backflush compnent list of MFBF transaction. What exactly I want to do is that whenever the material entered is of the type FERT then the user must enter a negative quantity, if he fails to do so, he should either get a message or it should automatically be converted to a negative quantity.
I have used RSMODPRF program to create the field exit and the function module contains the following code (just an example):
FUNCTION FIELD_EXIT_CO_MENGE_A.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*" REFERENCE(INPUT)
*" EXPORTING
*" REFERENCE(OUTPUT)
if input > 0.
message 'fieldexit:' type 'S'.
output = input * -1.
endif.
ENDFUNCTION.
I need this field exit to be activated only for this screen, and not everywhere this data element is used.
I have already set the SAP System profile abap/fieldexit parameter to YES.
Kindly assist.

Hi,
Just execute RSMODPRF program without any entry in selection -screen,
then select ur dataelement and then press change and there u can define the program screen no in which u want to do this change to be activated.
Assign Program/Screen.
After giving the program name and screen name.. activae it..
Then it will work for only the program u gave in the dataelement assigning.....
not for all the programs it uses...

Query on Field exits in ECC 6.0

Hi All,
We have implemented field exits in SAP R/3 4.6c and now we have upgraded to ECC 6.0.
I need to know the following information:
Are field exits obsolete in ECC6.0?
Can we create new field exits in ECC 6.0 ?
Going forward, what is the alternative technology/concept to be used - enhancement sports, BADIs etc for field validations(or instead of field exits)?
Regards
Shiva

Hi,
Though it is obsolete, SAP does not say dont you field exit. You can still use field exit. You can still create field exits.
Whatever is already existing will definitely work. Creating a field exit is much more simpler and easy than the BADIs or Enhancement points.
Yes you are right, going forward, you will have to use BADIs or Enhancement points.

How to assign FCT code to a field in module pool programming?

Hi All,
I have two fields on the screen. One is I/O field other is text field.
suppose i enter country code in I/O field i should get the name of country in text field. I want to assign fct code to I/O field.
But in attribute popup it's not allowing to assign fct to the field.
Please Help.
Regards,
Mohammed Quddus.

Hi, as far as I know R/3 screen I/O fields does not have onkeyup event. So you can not achieve this without hitting enter. When you have to hit enter then no need for function code. You can not assign FCT for I/O fields. You can write required logic in your PAI after entering country code.
Thanks,
Siva

How to assign ranges ( select-option)to field symbol

Hi ,
I have following scenario
ranges : r_test1 for agr_1251,
 r_test2 for agr_1251.
In runtime i am getting which range i have to populate in a field v_rname.for now let it me v_rname = 'r_test2'
i want to assign (v_rname ) to <field -symbol> ie is range to field symbol.
and i want to update the <field -symbol>-sign ='I'
 <field -symbol>-LOW ='some value'
 append <field -symbol>.
This is the logic i want to follow, for this how should i have to declare the field symbol ? I couldn't assign a range to field symbol . Please help me.
thanks
Murali

Try this
FIELD-SYMBOLS : <field_symbol> TYPE ANY TABLE.
ASSIGN (v_rname) to <field_symbol>.
<field -symbol>-sign ='I'
<field -symbol>-LOW ='some value'
append <field -symbol>.
This should work because your range is a table.
Hope this helps you.

How to assign a tooltip for a field in ALV editable grid?

I have to display some instructions ( 50 chars long) for an editable field in alv.
How to do this?
BCALV_DEMO_TOOLTIP tells about assiging tooltip to an icon or symbol.
Thanks,
Ven..

Neither of these two example programs help much in regards to tooltips against any field of any row. Both of these examples use tooltips for Icons. I have also been looking for a single example of tooltips usage outside of these two programs, and have found nothing in SAP, or on the internet, so far.
Having said that, I have tried to implement the same method used by the later example, but have not got this to work. What I think we need is an example of this functionality where these Icons are not used!. I believe.

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

Field Exits for Data Elements
Description
Maintenance transaction for creating and activating field exits
As part of the extension concept, SAP allows you to install a field exit for each screen field. Similar to the conversion exit, the system branches at the field exit at DCI (DATA COMMUNICATIONS INPUT) to a function module, if the field is an input field and a function code was triggered. The function module must adhere to the following naming convention:
Prefix: FIELD_EXIT_
Infix: <Data element name>
Suffix: _0 to _9 (optional), _A to _Z
The interface is automatically generated during the creation of the function module, and has 2 parameters:
Import parameter: INPUT
Export parameter: OUTPUT
After a function code has been triggered the contents of the field are made available to the FB via the "INPUT" import parameter. You can edit this and, when changed, make it available to the ABAP/4 processor in "OUTPUT". The input field contents are usually passed on: you can simply write OUTPUT = INPUT.
If, e.g., you have activated the field exit for the data element 'PROGRAM', then the fields of all the screens, which refer to the data element 'PROGRAM', branch to the function module FIELD_EXIT_PROGRAM. This includes the field 'Program' of the initial screen SAPMS38M0100 in transaction SE38, for example.
If you do not want the function module to be accessed from all screens, assign particular screens to the data element PROGRAM. By allocating an exit number, it is also possible to branch to other function modules with the corresponding suffix _0 ... _Z.
Example: You have assigned screen SAPMS38M0100 and exit number 5 to data element 'PROGRAM'. The corresponding field on SAPMS38M0100 branches to FIELD_EXIT_PROGRAMM_5.
As soon as you activate an exit, the corresponding screens are invalidated.
Note: Field exits are only taken into account during screen generation if the parameter abap/fieldexit = 'YES' is set in the system profile.
Requirement
Set the profile parameter abap/fieldexit = 'YES' before system start.
Limitations
The following ABAP statements are not allowed in the function modules of field exits:
BREAK-POINT,
CALL SCREEN, CALL DIALOG, CALL TRANSACTION, SUBMIT,
COMMIT WORK, ROLLBACK WORK,
COMMUNICATION RECEIVE,
EXIT FROM STEP-LOOP,
MESSAGE I, MESSAGE W.
Note:
Field exits cannot be edited with the debugger.
You should not use any external Performs in field exits. The ABAP processor shares the table work areas of externally called programs with those of the first caller. This could lead to errors at field exits that can hardly be analyzed, as field exits are sometimes slipped into the flow of the program at unforeseen events.
Questions and answers on field exits
1. A field exit was created with the CMOD and activated, but it does not get executed when the screen is called.
Since the field exit is not executed until DCI, some action must occur in the screen (e.g. press Return, saving....).
Set the abap/fieldexit profile parameter to YES and start the system again.
After the FIELD_EXIT... function module has been activated and the field exit has been activated, the transaction in whose screen the field exit is to be executed must be terminated. The screen is not generated until it is called.
Do not work on different application servers, otherwise there may be a delay before the field exit becomes active.
The profile parameter must be set either on all application servers or on none.
If the field exit is to be active in certain screens only, then you should check whether you have selected the correct program and the correct screen number (Careful with SUBSCREENS Do not rely on the F1 information for the field!
2. How does setting abap/fieldexit affect the performance?
If a screen is generated and the profile parameter is set, then the system checks in 2 tables (TDDIR, TDDIRS) to see whether a field exit has to be generated for the field. In practice the screen load after a Put is not generated until the screen is called. The user will not experience a noticeable delay, since screen generation is extremely fast.
3. Can the contents of other screen fields be read in a field exit?
In principle all fields can be copied to global variables in the TOP or the function group. However, since the order in which the field exits are called is not guaranteed, this possibility should not be used.
4. How does the field exit work in step-loop fields?
After data input to DCI the field exit will be called as many times as fields are visible on the step-loop. The SY-STEPL system variable is incremented each time. If a new value is assigned to be field, then it will be visible in the module between LOOP. ENDLOOP. This module will also be called as many times as there are visible step-loop lines.
5. Can field exits be debugged?
No. Field exits have to be tested in isolation in the development environment. To analyze problems that occur only in the screen environment, the relevant variables can be written to the file system using TRANSFER... and can be analyzed there.
6. What should one do if the field contents are not getting transported to ABAP/4?
Check whether you have assigned a value to the OUTPUT field.
7. When does the field exit get called in the case that there is a conversion exit attached to the data element?
