you can use functions like F4IF... to display your own value list.

Enforce the restrictions with event

At selection-screen on P_xyz.

<pre>

IF P_xyz CA 'ABC'.

MESSAGE e002(00)."Please enter valid value

ENDIF

</pre>

This will reject any values containg letters A, B or C.

Clemens

Hi Suresh,

could you provide an example where you, for example, set the pernr to 08800108 without using at selection-screen on?

You do it in the INITIALIZATION event.i e

INITIALIZATION.

pnppernr-low = '08800108'.

append pnppernr.

Hi Suresh,

I do not understand where you get the data element from. Assume you want to use search help <b>PREMN</b>, but you are not using pernr as an inputfield.

Hi Vijay,

I have already read that thread. How do I set a given selection value, for example molga = 99 (I do not have it as an inputfield)?

Hi Elvez,

I am lost..didn't quite get ur reqt.. The PREMN search help is to retrieve/search Pernrs by Last name - First Name.. What exactly are you trying to do? restrict the values that are returned by search help? then may be you can take a look at the search help exit 'HRMC_PREM_EXIT_A' for 'PREMN'.

Suresh Datti

Yes Suresh,

I am trying to restrict the values of the search help. Even if I use the search help exit I still face the problem of transferring selection data (because it is not an inputfield).

Hi Elvez,

copy the search help to your own search help. Use search help exits to influence the value list.

If I have special requirements for search help value lists, I use function module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST. It is quite well documented.

If it is not an input field, how and actually why are you even trying to provide a F4 for that field? Is this a display only parameter on the selection screen and you want to default it to something before it shown to the user and restrict the user from changing it? What exactly is your requirement?

Re: Restrict Value Range

Hi Srinivas,

I would like to default the selection screen to something, however, dynamically and not be setting the default value in the search help. Here is the what I would like to achieve:

1) F4 help for an additional infotype field with competence category id.

2) The F4 uses molga, begda, endda to select data.

=> Problem: How to transfer the selection parameters to F4 when they are not fields on the screen?

Hi Clemens,

thanks for your answer. As you can see above the problem is not developing the search help itself, but how to pass the selection parameters to the search help. Do you know how to do it?

/Elvez

Clemenss — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 06:18:44 GMT

Hi Elvez,

in the searchhelp definition, mark the search help parameter as 'INPUT'. In ther definition of the screen, tab 'References', put the name of the search help in the column 'search help' for your field to be connected. Example: Program RFEPOS00, screen 100, field RFXPO-VONKN is connected to search help DEBI.

Clemens

Hope this helps.

Hi Clemens,

The problem is that I want to pass other values to the search help besides the one that is in the field.

Clemenss — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 08:34:57 GMT

Elvez,

define your "other values" as screen fields. Have Import parameters for them in the search help. Associate the screen fields with the search help - connection is established via identical data elements.

May it would be easier to understand if you just describe your business case and requirements.

Clemens

Clemenss — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 09:34:59 GMT

Elvez,

you could possibly define the required values as invisible screen fields - they can be accessed.

Or you export them to memory and in the search help (exit) import them from memory. Should work.

Clemens
