Hello VJ.

If you need an F4 Help for a Date field, you can use the Data type as sy-datum.

It would serve the purpose.

Thanks.

Hi,

F4 help should automatically come if you are using DATS08 domain in data element definition. Please check if data element is activated or not.

Please reward if you find the answer useful.

HI,

If u are in Diallog Program then use 'F4_DATE' FM.

Example :

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DATE'

EXPORTING

date_for_first_month = sy-datum

IMPORTING

select_date = wa_asgntkts-begda

EXCEPTIONS

calendar_buffer_not_loadable = 1

date_after_range = 2

date_before_range = 3

date_invalid = 4

factory_calendar_not_found = 5

holiday_calendar_not_found = 6

parameter_conflict = 7

OTHERS = 8.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

If u are in Report Program then maintain ur data type as sy-datum.

Please give neccessary points if u help this..

Hi V J

If you are using any dialog program then use the call function f4if_field_value_request at process at value-request.


call function f4if_field_value_request
    exporting
      tabname                   = ztable name
      fieldname                 = field name
   tables
     return_tab                = it_date

I think u got my point

hi,

if you are using a screen, then give BU_DATE_CHAR in the search help field.

you will get the required help for the date field.
