F4 help not working

Former Member — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 17:04:58 GMT

In the following piece of code the "F4" help is not working for the field "so_con". I don't see the button which usually comes up if "F4 help" is available. Also, the value table for the element exists. I have enabled the "dictionary ref." option for the selection-text. However the "F4" help is working perfectly for the field "so_car". Please help.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK conn WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.

SELECT-OPTIONS:

so_car FOR wa_flight-carrid,

so_con FOR wa_flight-connid.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK conn.

"wa_flight" is of the type "dv_flights" which is a database view using two tables "spfli" and "sflight".

Try this way:

so_con FOR spfli-connid.

so_con FOR sflight-connid.

Hi Nair,

Refer directly to the dictionary variable or elements instead of referring variables defined in the program.

Thanks

you are using this code..

> SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK conn WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.

> SELECT-OPTIONS:

> so_car FOR wa_flight-carrid,

> so_con FOR wa_flight-connid.

> SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK conn.

your F4 help is not working because you take the type of select option as a work area(wa_flight-connid).


  so_con FOR sflight-connid

Hope this helps.

hi,

In your case SAP has not provided any search help . Go to se11 give your table name and double click on your field there is no input help so in se11 create a search help. and use it in your code i have pasted a sample code below.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR parameter_name.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'

EXPORTING

program_name = syst-cprog

dynpro_number = syst-dynnr

field_name = matnr

IMPORTING

file_name = matnr.

or else

use this function module.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

RETFIELD = 'field name'

VALUE_ORG = 'S'

TABLES

VALUE_TAB = Internal table name.

with regards,

M.Sreeram

Hi Faisal,

I tried the piece of code that you had given. Its working. Thanks. But the thing that is troubling me is that the same thing(F4 help) is working for "so_car" (which has been declared using the work area). Why is it so?? Please reply.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK conn WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.

SELECT-OPTIONS:

so_car FOR wa_flight-carrid,

so_con FOR wa_flight-connid.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK conn.

For the select-options field "so_car" in the above code, the "F4 help" is working perfectly. But the same thing is not working for "so_con". Did you understand now?

Please Reply,
