F4 help

Former Member — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 07:46:12 GMT

Hi all...

I have created a field posting_date in some Ztable…when I use this field in some Zreport as select-option..when I press F4 it generally shows a calendar …but instead of showing the calendar I have created a search help for that field now it show only the entries in the Ztable..but as it is posting_date there are many POs which have same posting date it is showing the date of all POs even it is the same date…in clear there will be many POs with same posting_date when I press F4 help for that field in some Zreport it is showing the Ztable entries I want to make the display entries as unique..i.e,if 10 POs have same posting_date 10/4/2006 when I press F4 it shows 10/4/2006 repeatedly as 10 times..i want to make it as unique..if a different POs have same date it should display only once..

Hi vj,

1. In that case

2. we can use the FM

F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST

and our own ITAB

and our own logic

for removing the duplicate values

using SORT and DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES.

3. To get a taste of how to use this FM,

just copy paste.

REPORT ABC.

*----

DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

UNAME LIKE USR01-BNAME,

END OF ITAB.

data : RETURN_TAB LIKE DDSHRETVAL occurs 0 .

data : RETURN_wa LIKE DDSHRETVAL .

*----

PARAMETERS : A(12) TYPE C.

*----

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR A.

ITAB-UNAME = 'U01'. APPEND ITAB.

ITAB-UNAME = 'U02'. APPEND ITAB.

ITAB-UNAME = 'U03'. APPEND ITAB.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

DDIC_STRUCTURE = ' '

retfield = 'ITAB-UNAME'

PVALKEY = ' '

DYNPPROG = SY-REPID

DYNPNR = SY-DYNNR

DYNPROFIELD = 'A'

STEPL = 0
WINDOW_TITLE =
VALUE = ' '

VALUE_ORG = 'S'

MULTIPLE_CHOICE = ' '
DISPLAY = ' '
CALLBACK_PROGRAM = ' '
CALLBACK_FORM = ' '
MARK_TAB =
IMPORTING
USER_RESET =

tables

value_tab = ITAB

FIELD_TAB = FTAB

RETURN_TAB = return_tab

DYNPFLD_MAPPING =
EXCEPTIONS
PARAMETER_ERROR = 1
NO_VALUES_FOUND = 2
OTHERS = 3

break-point.

regards,

amit m.

Hi,

REFRESH and CLEAR the internal table that you use for searchhelp initially (before calling the FM for F4)..

otherwise..each time you use F4,the previous values get appended..

You can use the FM

At selection-screen on value request for posting_date-low.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

RETFIELD = 'POSTING_DATE'

DYNPROFIELD = 'POSTING_DATE-LOW'

DYNPPROG = SY-CPROG

DYNPNR = SY-DYNNR

TABLES

VALUE_TAB = HELP_ITEM.

In the help_item, you can populate the PO's and the unique dates by deleting adjacent duplicates comparing PO's and date.

Navneet

Hi amit,

Thanks for u reply..

But the FM 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'is used for user specific values such as hard coded values..but i want the data from Ztable but the date value which contain in it should not be repeated ...a unique value..if 10/4/2006 entry is present 15 times in the table it should be displayed only once when i press F4 in the Zreport

Hi vj,

try this

data : begin of it_po occurs 0,

PO like table-PO,

end of it_po.

data : begin of it_dates occurs 0,

PO like table-dates,

end of it_dates.

Select distinct PO from ZTABLE into table it_po.

Select distinct dates from ztable

into table it_dates

for all entries in it_po

where PO = it_po-PO.

Ajith

thank you..ajith

But we will be getting the uniques values to internal table...but how i can get to the unique values in F4 help

Re: F4 help

Former Member — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 09:36:07 GMT

data : begin of it_po occurs 0,

PO like table-PO,

end of it_po.

data : begin of it_dates occurs 0,

PO like table-PO,

dates like table-dates,

end of it_dates.

Select distinct PO from ZTABLE into table it_po.

<b>Select distinct PO dates from ztable

into table it_dates

for all entries in it_po

where PO = it_po-PO.</b>

so now it_dates has PO and its dates,..

Pass this table it_dates to the F4
