Modify Date (F4) Help with Diffrent views

Former Member — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 21:12:08 GMT

hello all,

our client has a 13-period fiscal year, which does not align with calendar months. date fields have to be period-aligned. In standard SAP, a calendar view pops up when a matchcode (F4) is selected against a date field:

now they want that whenever user press (F4) on date field:

a pop-up screen will be modified to contain two views –

with two radio button if user selected the one the standard calendar must be displayed and when the user select the second radio button it will display client period view.

HOW CAN WE DO THIS FUNTIONALITY IN SAP? HELP ME I AM STRUCK OVER THIS ISSUE .....

regards

Anand

Hello Rajesh

Since your client wants to have this different behaviour at ANY date field I assume the only possibility is to modify the SAP standard coding that realises the F4 search help. Perhaps you will find somewhere an appropriate user-exit although I think this is unlikely.

Hello Rajesh

I do no think so because we are dealing here with a control, namely the calendar control.

If you want to change the F4 for a date field in a <b>customer</b> program where you can realise the search help dialog yourself then you could have a look at CL_...CALENDAR... classes or function modules CALENDAR and check if the interfaces might allow to implement your requirements.
