screen modify with using a field data type 'DATS'

Former Member — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 06:36:39 GMT

Hi together,

I want to modify a date field (e.g, paramter field 'pa_date like bseg-budat') by using 'Loop at screen.....modify screen'

or FM 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE' respectively.

Since data type 'DATS' consists of 8 digits it´s not possible to modify the field with correct format (e.g. YYYY/MM/DD, or DD/MM/YYYY using 10 digits) - that meens you can´t set the '/' or '.' .

For sure, you can use the 8-digit (internal) format (YYYYMMDD) and hit enter afterwards, but there must be some other

solution. (cf. Trx. F110)

Thanks for any help

Hi,

You cannot assign values using the LOOP AT SCREEN option. This can be used only to set the attributes of the field.

If you want to assign a value to a DATS field, you will have to assign it in YYYYMMDD format only. For example: -

pa_date = '20100701'.

Hi,

OK, that´s what I´m doing exactly...

...

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR pa_laufi.

...

dynpfields-fieldname = 'PA_LAUFD'.

dynpfields-stepl = 0.

dynpfields-fieldvalue = iv_laufd. <-- iv_laufd is using the internal format YYYYMMDD

dynpfields-fieldinp = 'X'.

APPEND dynpfields.

CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'

EXPORTING

dyname = sy-cprog

dynumb = sy-dynnr

TABLES

dynpfields = dynpfields

EXCEPTIONS

invalid_abapworkarea = 01

invalid_dynprofield = 02

invalid_dynproname = 03

invalid_dynpronummer = 04

invalid_request = 05

no_fielddescription = 06

undefind_error = 07.

...

Hi Gerd,

Try

WRITE iv_laufd TO dynpfields-fieldvalue DD/MM/YYYY.

instead of

dynpfields-fieldvalue = iv_laufd.

Hi ,

That depends on the Date format in the User profile, for example my sap logon has the date format DD.MM.YYYY so if i run the any selection screen or Tcode with Date it will fill with the same format.

Just look at this for your profile: System -> user profile->own data.
