data validation

Former Member — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 19:10:46 GMT

Is there a way to validate the information, when the end user fills out the field (ex employee number) before hitting he enter button.

I have a report that has two fields, one with a variable and the other with a hierarchy. I have no problem with the hierarchy one... but the one with a variable accepts just any number and takes forever to process it to finally give a no transaction statement whereas it suppose to say that the data is wrong.

Hope you'll help finding the solution...very soon.

Guitouni,

Could you give the landscape - R/3 or BW or Web Dynpro that you are using for the same - this would help us redirect you to the required forums to get relevant answers...

Hi,

Using a "User Exit" provide a Radio Button;which means that the Record can be picked up from the relevant Table only,by means of this Radio Button.

Indirectly thus you can validate the input entry.This way the junk input entries can be totally avoided.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Ramesh.

Hi,

Nice to hear you.

User exit means adding functionalities as per user's requirement-in addition to the already existing standard functionalities given by SAP.

You have to work with an abaper for user exit.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Ramesh.

thanks I was sick that's why it took me a while to communicate.

Can you give me the step by step process of the exit user?

Many thanks!

Hi,

Use exit involves writing program-you have to involve an abaper for step by step process.As a functional consultant we can only explain the business process and the relevant scenerios.

Hope this helps.

Ramesh
