Table control - no input help

wozjac — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 21:23:51 GMT

Hello, I came up against strange behaviour with table control today.

In short, omitting insignificant things:

I have a data element Z_DATE with type DATS and Z_ST with type TIMS.

These two data elements appears in 2 times in dictionary

1. Database table ZEVT:

Z_F1 type Z_DATE

Z_F2 type Z_ST

2. Structure Z_EVTSCR, names same as above

Z_F1 type Z_DATE

Z_F2 type Z_ST

Now, when I create table control selecting dictionary table (ZEVT) in wizard, input help is available on screen - cells of the table have icon to click and it is possible to choose date and time from interactive calendar and clock.

But when I create local internal table and work area in program as:

zevt_tab type table of Z_EVTSCR,

zevt_wa like line of zevt_tab.

and enter this values instead dictionary table in table control wizard, input help is not available.

I created table type in dictionary Z_EVTSCR_TAB with line type Z_EVTSCR, next in program:

zevt_tab type Z_EVTSCR_TAB,

zevt_wa type Z_EVTSCR.

and input help is also unavailable. I don't understand why, maybe I'm missing something.

Regards,

Jacek

Thanks Alpesh, your hint solves problem partially - the icon for input help is displayed, but when it is clicked -nothing happens. Is there some function module or predefinied search help to call interactive calendar or clock?

Hi,

I wonder why the above solution is not working. Any way... you can try using search help "BU_DATE_CHAR" for date field.

Thanks,

Renjith.
