Search Help error : Invalid field format Screen error

Hi All,
I have attached a search help to contract field for contract no and item number. (in my own screen developed in a  report)
The search help picks up data and assigns it to the fields,
But after this when I click on any other button, I get error saying :
<b>Invalid Field Format (Screen Error) !!!</b>
Any pointers guys !!!
Warm Regards,
Girish

screen checks in abapautomatically checks for format of field when u enter data....i.e date, integer etc...the problem in this case is that when u seelct a value using the help it is filling a value which is not the correct format...so check for the data types and test it again...this is definitely the problem.

  • Error Invalid field format (screen error) in module pool

    INVALID FIELD FORMAT (SCREEN ERROR).
    Can anyody help me with this asnwers will be rewarded points .
    regards

    Dear Farukh,
    can you please let me know how have you declared you check boxes.
    how did you handle the click or the function codes in the user command module in your PAI.
    The declaration of your fucntion codes can be done when you create your screen fields and then they need to be handled in the user command module i.e what you want to do when suppose you click on that particular check box.
    Thanks

    I am not geting any clue whats the eror . can anyone able to tell me the error.

    No need to loop to check whether data is changed after PBO, just check System Field SY-DATAR, it will be set to 'X' if any field was changed.
    So the following code is enough;
    IF SY-DATAR EQ 'X'.
       PERFORM SAVE_DATA.
    ENDIF.

  • Invalid field format (screen error)

    We are using custom module pool report for displaying information. Information display in Table control which has also Radio button option for the further processing. After unicode conversion we are getting error while accessing the screen as "Invalid field format (screen error)" when user select Radio button. In production environment we are not facing any issue, but in Dev + Qas we have this issue. Nothing is changed as all environment are sync. To solve the issue we re-defined the Radion screen element, but no success we are still getting same error. I am not sure whether it is related to Page Format or something else. Could you please let me know whether anybody faced this issue ? For the information, I already searched on SDN and SNote, but there is no post or SNote

    Have you checked if there are overlapping fields on the screen.
    I've seen simular errors and usually it was beacuse of some change by SAP that made it so that the defined length of the screen field was suddenly to small.
    I'm not saying that this is the case in your situation, but it never hurts to try and change the length of your screen field and see if that resolves the issue.

  • Invalid field format (screen error) on Table Control

    Hello,
    When selecting a line or multiple lines on a screen made by me(using a Table Control), I get Invalid field format (screen error). Debugging the code it sends the message when looping the internal table on PAI to check if there were values changed. Is there a reason why this error appears on this?
      loop at it_values.
        chain.
          field pvalues-BEGDA.
          module CHANGE_QUEUE.
        endchain.
      endloop.
    Thanks.

    No need to loop to check whether data is changed after PBO, just check System Field SY-DATAR, it will be set to 'X' if any field was changed.

  • Dialog Screen - Invalid field format (screen error)

    Dear all,
      I have developed a modal dialog screen and succesfully invoked it with CALL SCREEN command in the main screen.  Unfortunately, it always returns "Invalid field format (screen error)" when clicking on the dialog's GUI control such as button or radio button.  Anyone encountered this before??
    Regards,
    KK

    Hi KK,
    Just make sure that the fields take on the screen are also declared in the top module of your program.
    And also match their data-types and size i.e., declared in top module and on the screen in their respective attributes.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How to add a search help for a field in Screen Personas?

       I just started learning to use a Screen Personas, and I want to know how to add a search help for a field.
       I found a property in the help document named "IsLookupSupported". Is it the key?  But I saw it was gray in the field I created, and its value is "false". I could not change it.

    Hi, Tamas,
    I found the reason. The function Z_WEBRFC_READ_DATA_SH had a string concatenation error.
    CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
    The correct code is like:
    CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},{"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
    Another question is, I can't get any words in Chinese from WebRFC. It returns error when I try it. How can I configure it?

  • Search help for custome field with different data type

    Hi Friends,
    I have Created a  custom table in which i have created a field is
    ZMATLONG which stores material number.
    Now the data element is zdmat which is of char 40..
    Now i want to give search help for this field ZMATLONG..
    I have tried many ways giving search help to this field
    a) i Tried to attach the standard search help of MATNR ie : MAT1 but its showing me data type inconsistancy
    b) i created a zsearch help and in the selection method i have used database table mara , again here iam getting the same error data type inconsistancy...
    Now how can i give the search help like matnr field to my custom field ZMATLONG...
    How can i do it..?
    Thanks in Advance..
    Regards
    Kumar

    Hi,
    MATNR ahs length 18 and ZMATLONG has length 40.So due to this u cannot use MAT1 search help.
    best way would be cope MAT1 into Z search help. Then in the search help parameter change the data element of field
    MATNR as ZMATLONG.
    Now if you assign Z search help to ZMATLONG  it will work.
    I tried this its working fine.

  • Search Help for a Field of a Table Control

    I have designed a screen using 'Table Control' with fields like Date, BoxNo,Quantity etc. Kindly tell me how to go about providing a search help for the field 'BoxNo' of this table control so that the user is not required to scroll down the entire table/list for selecting a particular box no.
    Thanx in advance,
    Alok.

    When you go to screen painer, in screen painter attributes window, there is an atribute called search help, fill it.
    Another way is, after PAI put:
    PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
      FIELD box_no MODULE f1_help_box_no.
    And gives logic in that module using FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.
