Alv + date field problem

Former Member — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 08:55:04 GMT

Hi All

I have a screen with a date field and an alv grid.

When I hit the f4 help on the date field the date does not appear.

When I test this screen in the screen painter the date picker shows up, but when I run the program it does not, it is like something is overwritting it.

Can anyone help with this please

Thank you

Check the attributes in the screen painter. If its not a Dictionary field then select the format for the field as DATS.

Hope this helps solve your query

Darren,

I am not sure of this problem. But try by giving the search help <b>BU_DATE_CHAR</b> in the properties of that field in the screen painter.

setting the search help BU_DATE_CHAR didn't work.

When I press the button on the date field or do an F4 the alv seems to get the focus.

Thanks anyway
