Search help entry

Former Member — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 08:31:23 GMT

Hi All,

I am working on module pool programming, here user need to key in two fields, type and description. I have created a search help for this two field and assigned the search help to the screen fields. But user wants it to be only be picked from the search help not by the user entry, can any one tell me how to avoid user from manual entry?

Thanks,

Fed

Hi,

Just to SCREEN PAINTER ATTRIBUTES of that input field and in that click PROGRAM tab there

tick check-box OUTPUT ONLY.

Now user can pick only from f4 as it is output only.

Regards and Best wishes.

Algorithm for this would be :

1. Make the field in question "output only".

2. At the POV event, call the FM F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST. It will call the search help explicitly.

3. Once the user selects the values use DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE to update the screen values.

You can refer to this thread for a similar requirement :

Dear Kiran,

I tried with your option but the field was hidden? Any other solution.

Thanks,
