F4 search help returns empty records!

Former Member — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 09:28:54 GMT

Hi Fox => Extremely disrespectful. Please remember you are addressing highly qualified human beings here.

Currently I am wondering why for only 2 fields in my selection screen the F4 search help I get no entry (empty) even though there are some values existing there. However if I generate / activate these specific fields, F4 returns the expected values for the search help. Unfortunately if last only as long as I am logged on. After logging off it doesnu2019t work any longer.

Does anyone know why.

Your help is highly appreciated

Kam

Are these custom fields or standard?

What do you mean by generate and activate?

How do you assign F4 in your case?

Please give more details.

For starters, change

dynprofield = 'vendor'

dynprofield = 'VENDOR'

Hi Fox => Extremely disrespectful. Please remember you are addressing highly qualified human beings here.

Did you mean "Hi Folks"?

Re: F4 search help returns empty records!

Former Member — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:49:24 GMT

Yes, I ment "FOLKS Sorry about that

However in my opinion Kishan P's reaction was kind of exaggeration

That explanation is a too "thin"... as a google search of site:sap.com shows that you regularly use "Hi Fox"?

The only other reference to this as a greeting is here --> http://slovioiseasy.blogspot.com/
