SORT LT_INVOICE_F4 BY INVCE KUNNR.

DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM LT_INVOICE_F4

COMPARING INVCE KUNNR.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

Could you post the definition of internal table LT_INVOICE_F4.

Regards,

Raymond

Hi Raymond..

Thanks for quick reply

following is the definition of LT_INVOICE_F4

TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_INVOICE_F4,

INVCE TYPE ZFI_BILL-INVCE,

KUNNR TYPE ZFI_BILL-KUNNR,

END OF TY_INVOICE_F4.

DATA : LT_INVOICE_F4 TYPE TABLE OF TY_INVOICE_F4.

Re: Getting error message in F4 help

RaymondGiuseppi — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 09:22:36 GMT

Try to replace ZFI_BILL-KUNNR with data element KUNNR in itab definition, or give the definition of ZFI_BILL table/structure.

Raymond

Re: Getting error message in F4 help

former_member733302 — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 12:04:59 GMT

Hi Srinivas & Bharat,

Thanks for your prompt response.

I tried with KUNNR TYPE KNA1-KUNNR

then also it is not working..

Is there any other way to rectify my problem.

Re: Getting error message in F4 help

Create an elementary search help based on based on your fields

ZFI_BILL-INVCE,

ZFI_BILL-KUNNR,

then call the search help which can solve your problem.

Hiii,

Just do one thing - in your z table field ZFI_BILL-KUNNR assign Explicit search help DEBI or make foreign key relationship.

Re: Getting error message in F4 help

Hi,

I've tried something similar with KUNNR TYPE KUNNR and the is no down arrow on the customer field, even though instinctively this seems to be the right way to define it.

However, going back to your original definition and the error it generates, the message is triggered from function module DD_SHLP_GET_HELPMETHOD and has two variable parts, a table name and a field name. In your screen shot only the field name part of the message is populated (F0002), the table name is missing.

This would suggest that the problem is somewhere in the definition of the table ZFI_BILL. You could try to debug DD_SHLP_GET_HELPMETHOD or post the definition of ZFI_BILL here.

Regards,

Nick

Hi Ashish,

I can't change my table.. because already it is in production. My Functional people are not ready me to change in the table. So is there any other way .. I m ready to change my table definition in my logic.. but already I tried it but it is not working.. is there any other way..

Re: Getting error message in F4 help

RaymondGiuseppi — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 08:50:40 GMT

If nothing else works, as SAP does not like your table definition, you should fill the FIELD_TAB parameter...

Regards,

Raymond

Re: Getting error message in F4 help

Aashish28 — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:09:28 GMT

Hiii,

Than as @Raymond Giuseppi told fill FIELD_TAB use fm - DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET and fill your FIELD_TAB and pass it .

In f4 hep it returns all my table fields but I need to only 2 fields (i.e. document number and customer number ) in F4 help .. can you please correct my code

Re: Getting error message in F4 help

Aashish28 — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:08:52 GMT

Hiii,

Just give field name also along with table name and call it 2 times by making subroutine .

1) for INVCE

2) for KUNNR

append lt_field_tab which is return parameter of DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET fm to FIELD_TAB both having same structure DFIES.

append lt_field_tab to FIELD_TAB one by one .

****************************************************

make subroutine for below or call it 2 times

DATA lv_table TYPE DDOBJNAME,

lv_field type DFIES-FIELDNAME,

lv_table = 'zfi_bill'.

CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET'

EXPORTING

TABNAME = lv_table

* FIELDNAME = lv_field

LANGU = SY-LANGU

* LFIELDNAME = ' '

* ALL_TYPES = ' '

* GROUP_NAMES = ' '

* UCLEN =

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

Hope this will solve your problem

HIii,

Just debug your code ..... refresh your table and workarea....... see your return_tab you will get 2 rows and your are reading by index 1 just check it again ..... instead of that you can do DYNPFLD_MAPPING for filling the value in fields ..... .
