Multiple fields need F4 in module pool screen?

Former Member — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 00:28:29 GMT

Hi All,

I have a screen with one field (TXTPROFITCTR) and one table control (TBLPROFITCTR) on it. The one field acts as selection field, user can click F4 choose, choose a value and then click on a display button to see details in a table control on the screen. This part is working fine.

The trouble is that there are two editable fields in the table control which also require F4 functionality. I have coded the customized F4 help screen for the selection field TXTPROFITCTR with.

PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.

FIELD TXTPROFITCTR MODULE VALUE_HELP_PRCTR.

but when the user clicks on F4 in the table control the code in module VALUE_HELP_PRCTR, is not executed (obviously because its mapped for TXTPROFITCTR field). Instead another F4 selection screen opens with all fields from the master table for that field, but I want to show a customized F4 screen for the two fields in the table control as well. Can someone please guide me??

Thank you in advance.

Is there any option besides Search Help?

You need to tie the search help to the field of the table. Not sure what the name of your internal table is here, lets just say ITAB. Then you need to do something like this.



PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD <b>ITAB-TXTPROFITCTR</b> MODULE VALUE_HELP_PRCTR.

This will fire your help for that field in your table controll

Thanks Rich for replying. The trouble is I already have a statements

PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.

FIELD TXTPROFITCTR MODULE VALUE_HELP_PRCTR.

in my screen so now if I try to add the statements

PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.

FIELD GT_OLD_PCCT-/BIC/UFACTCAI MODULE VALUE_HELP_PRCTR.

*GT_OLD_PCCT is my internal table

It gives me and error saying "You already have a Process Statement..."

Sorry, I should have been more clear....just add the line to the exists section.



PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.

FIELD TXTPROFITCTR MODULE VALUE_HELP_PRCTR.
FIELD GT_OLD_PCCT-/BIC/UFACTCAI MODULE VALUE_HELP_PRCTR.

SAP Press publishes a book on SmartForms. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to pick it up. You can find module pool programming in any of the ABAP books from sap press.
