Input Help for TIME type field

I saw below discussion regarding a dropdown for a "TIME" type field.
Re: Time Search Help
It's a resuable component (that Thomas Jung created) and find it very slick.
I just couldn't make it to work. I'm getting a dump when I pressed the dropdown on the "TIME" field.
I was wondering, has anyone used this in conjunction with select-options (WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS) ?
I'm getting a system-dump, "Component usage VALUE_HELP does not exist". I double checked the name that I used on the "USED COMPONENT" tab and it is VALUE_HELP.
During method ADD_SELECTION_FIELD (for IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS) I'm using two parameters I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE = 'APPLDEV' and I_VALUE_HELP_ID = 'VALUE_HELP'.
Maybe I'm not using the right parameters ?
Anyway, I would appreciate if anyone could give me directions to correct the problem.Or maybe there is another and better way of having an input help for a "TIME" type field on select-option.
Thanks.
Vic

That is because the TIME is a freely programmed value help and freely programmed value helps are not supported by the Select-Options component. That limited is listed in the online help:
Type of input help specified as type IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER.
Note that only ABAP Dictionary-based input help and OVS input help are supported; freely programmable input help is not supported.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/45/bf07361248003de10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
The reason for this is that the freely programmed value help is accessed via a component usage. The Select-Options however are a separate component. They have no declaration to your components, component usages. Therefore they produce the error that the component usage doesn't exist - which is correct. It doesn't exist in the Select-Options Component.

Static input help for DATS type

Hello,
I'd like to link static input help for screen field of DATS type. If I click on help linked to this screen field I get CONVT_NO_NUMBER error: 'Unable to interpret "=2" as a number.'
My steps:
- In Screen Painter I selected desired screen field and selected DATS type and "1 Show at selection" in its details.
- I defined global variable with same name as desired screen field
What's the problem?
Best regards,
Josef Motl

Hi,
do this way.....
first declare the variable in program as
1. data: date type sy-datum.
2. now go to your screen,(click on F6) use get from Program
now choose date form it , and say ok, now save it and activate it.
delete the old one..
now you will be able to get all the things which you want.
automatical validation also possible, and F4 also possible.

Disable input help for a webdynpro field in ESS

I need to disable the drop down capability of a field in ESS (field is "Bank Key" available in the ESS page "Bank Information"). So I need the field to stay visible and ready for input... I just want the input help to not show up (the entries in the input help are not applicable to the user and they confuse them). how can I do that?
Tiberiu
Edited by: Tiberiu Sasu on Apr 27, 2010 11:25 PM

Just throwing ideas around...
you could create a custom field which is of the same length as bank key - but no value helps etc assigned to it. Add this into the CI_append structure of the bank details structure used by ESS.
Then in the inbound and outbound mappings - UI conversion class BAdIs move the bank key to and from this plain text field and into the "real" bank key field.
You could then "decorate" the iView with the additional customer field and hide the standard bank key field.
Sounds like a lot of bother! But depends on how much you dislike modifying standard WD Java apps (personally I'd put that in the definitely worthwhile basket - maintenance after support packs on WD Java is not fun!)

Timeout on input help for variable

hi all,
in a selection screen of a report i have material and material type(navigational attribute of material) as input.
the report is built on cube.
only material is coming in cube.
when i click on input help for material type the screen hangs on the report times out.
whereas on the other hand if i am clicking help for material i am getting the values.
this variable is used in other queries on different infoprovider and is running fine there.
How do i get the values for input help for material type.
all the standard settings have been maintained(such as query filter selection etc...)

Arvind.

Hi,
Activate 0material masterdata.and Regenerate your query in RSRT.
If the problem still exists then debug the query using RSRT for the perticular field output.

I got some information from SCN that I need to go for some custom search help. But with which reference to the table, am I want to create it.
Please let me know, is there any other possible way to create F4 for time field for webdynpro.
Even I tried to use some standard search help, but am getting an error as 'Sending of dynpro ' ' not possible. No window system type specified'.
Expecting valuable information from you experts.

Hi RAM,
For time field, there is no SAP delivered search help in WDA , so we need to go for freely programmed search help.
Please refer the below link, in which Mr. Thomas, has provided the links for search help document you can follow and create new search help component
and also nugget of the component which can be imported using ZSAPLINK program.

Search help for time

HI,
I need a Search help for time field in case of input field ie the one similar to the date field.In webdynpro we have mapped the Tims data type to our input field.here Tims data type is the data type for time in the backend(R/3 system).Pls help me out its urgent.Pts will be awarded to any of the helpful solutions.

Hi Nikhil,
Create an attribute of type 'time' in context. And inputfield to this attribute.
Later, while calling BAPI, you can pass this value to Tms type field.

Dynamic value help for a table field to fill two fields, how to?

Hi all gurus,
In SRM 7 I defined a dynamic value help for a single field (ZZ_PROLE_R3) of my header custom table.
That's the code from WDDOMODIFYVIEW in the webdynpro /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_CT, view V_DODC_CT:
DATA: lo_tabnode        TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE.
      DATA: lo_tabnode_info   TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO.
      DATA: tab_value         TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LIST,
            wa_value          TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
      lo_tabnode = wd_context->GET_CHILD_NODE( name = 'THCUS' ). "the custom table node
      lo_tabnode_info = lo_tabnode->get_node_info( ).
      wd_this->GET_VALHELP_ZZ_PROLE_R3( EXPORTING iv_guid = lv_guid
                                        IMPORTING ZZ_PROLE_R3_VALHELP = tab_value ). "this method returns the dyn value table
      lo_tabnode_info->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'ZZ_PROLE_R3'
                                                 value_set = tab_value ).
The method GET_VALHELP_ZZ_PROLE_R3 dynamically builds the value help table tab_value; such table is made up by two fields:
value : contains the value of the field
text   : contains a description of the value
The above solution works; now I'd like to enhance it. The custom table THCUS contains also a field called ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC, which represents the description of ZZ_PROLE_R3. It is, exactly, the TEXT field in tab_value.
So I'd like to do as follows:
- the user clicks on the search help for ZZ_PROLE_R3 field of the table;
- the above described value help appears;
- after the selection, both ZZ_PROLE_R3 and ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC are filled with the selected couple value - text chosen from the value help.
Could anyone help me achieving such a behaviour?
Again, a little request... when I open the above value help dialog box, the window itself has a label "Floorplan Manager application for OIF.." that obviously I'd like to redefine (e.g. "Role selection value help"). Is there any way to do that?
Thanks in advance

It seems to me - given that your code is in wddomodifyview that you are trying to have different dropdowns per row
- I'm not sure where you are populating lv_guid - but I'd guess it is an attribute of the row selected? If it isn't then I can't see any reason that you would do this code in wddomodifyview and not wddoinit.
Hi Chris and thanks for your help,
lv_guid is the GUID of the document's header; I need to pass it to the method that populates my value help table because the values in it are derived from some fields on the document. (the situation actually is more complex; there's an RFC call on the backend for which the document is intended for to retrieve the data that populate the value help...).
I'm quite unexperienced on webdynpro and terminology; if dropdown menus are fixed selection option that appears on a field, I guess this is not my case. I did a pair of screenshot to provide an idea of what the solution by now is, and what "I would like to have":
[Pre-selection (F4 icon on the field in table)|http://imagebin.ca/view/npIsaqF.html]
[Value Help popup for the field ZZ_PROLE_R3|http://imagebin.ca/view/8fZUh3T.html]
[Result by now |http://imagebin.ca/view/3PaqdvE.html]
[Result I'd like to have.|http://imagebin.ca/view/dExR0J.html]
Chris Paine wrote:
However - by your comment on the "value help dialog box" I am guessing you are using an input field? If this is the case then I would strongly suggest that you change/enhance the structure of the context node THCUS (btw, better coding practise to refer to it as wd_this->wdctx_thcus when using the get child node construct) so that you refer to an actual SAP ddic search help, if you then associate in the structure the value and text fields then populating the text field should happen automatically. Also you'd have the nice side effect that your value help dialog would be named after the associated ddic search help.
Thanks for the code suggestion, I'll apply that. For what concerns the context node THCUS... It is, by standard, a node which I can't explictly find in the context for the view V_DODC_CT. The problem is that ZZ_PROLE_R3 and the corresponding description field ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC of the table must be filled with data retrieved dynamically @ runtime from the backend. So I guess I can't populate a val help referring to a dictionary table/field; I'd rather do as follows:
- retrieve what's the target backend for the document (to do so, I have to process the document .. that's why the header guid passed to my method);
- RFC call to a custom method that extracts possible values for the specific backend;
- bind the ammissible values to the value help.

I realise that this is rather a lot - so if you have any specific question please do respond - hopefully I or someone else will be able to clarify.

F4 help for ALV table field

Hi Experts,
I need to implement F4 help for ALV table field.
I my scenario, I am using two views. If we click on any record in fist view then it displays the popup window (second view) with relevant record details.
Here one of the columns having fieldnames corresponding values (old values), for correcting old values I have created new value editable column, we can enter new value for old value then we can save it. Till this functionality is ok.
Then I have included OVS help for new value field. Here I need to get f4 help for newvalue field relevant to fieldname.
For example: user clicks on f4 in cell (new value) then if corresponding fieldname is u2018WERKSu2019 then it shows the plant values
Here I can get fieldname, domain name and value table using method set_attribute ().
Same concept I have implemented in ALV using F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST. It is working fine
Here I have little bit confusion. Please advise me how to implement in OVS.

How do store a time type field in a database table?

We added a UDF of time type. SQL Server says its a small integer. After I pull the time off a date, I convert it to an integer. For example, I convert 6:00 AM to 600. When I try to store 600 in the field, I get a type mismatch exception. What am I doing wrong?

Adele,
Thanks a bunch!
Your code was syntactically incorrect but it moved me in the right direction. Here is the code I ended up with:
DateString = DateIn.ToString("yyyyMMdd HHmm")
Time = Date.ParseExact(DateString, "yyyyMMdd HHmm", system.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.InvariantInfo)
Then update the Time field with the Time variable.
This does the trick. It looks like it is only necessary to save a date data type in a time type field and only the time piece of it is saved.
Thanks again,
Mike

Input help for cost center & WBS element not working

Hi ALL
We are using SRM 4.0 with backend ECC 5.0.
Input help for attributes cost center (CNT), WBS element (PRO) are not functioning.
When tried to search for input help (F4) on the above attributes, I am getting message "Display not possible (Inconsistency in the input help)".
I even applied SAP note 746788 for cost center search help.
Can you tell me if I have missed any config settings?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Did you managed the transactional RFC destination in the customizing (where you define all your log. systems it is an additional field in the table control).

BSP: F4 Help For a custom field...

Hi All,
I need to display search help for a custom field in one of my custom view.
Search Help for the custom field is already implemented.. but how can i use it in BSP View!.
In the standard CRM_IC application i couldn't find any similar search help scenario, coz it is calling some standard methods like ShowF4KeyAndValueHelp3,
ICWCShowF4HelpExtern by passing the structure and field name!.
I think these standard methods will work only with the fields which have value help table at the data element level. As the custom field that i m using does not have any value help i cant go for this method i guess!.
Any Help/Hint?..
Thank You,

Selection-screen: Input help for VTWEG

Hello!
Can anybody help me with the following problem:
I have two select-options (VKORG and VTWEG) on my selection screen. Now there should be the possibility to restrict the values shown as input help for VTWEG after having selected a value for VKORG.
I've already tried to do this by using a matchcode object but for VKORG and VTWEG I was not able to find suitable search helps.
In my opinion this should be possible without using the "AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR ...". If not, it would be interesting to getting to know your approaches to this task.
Thank you in advance!
