F4 help on Parameter for ddic domain does not work

Former Member — Fri, 08 Apr 2005 12:28:05 GMT

Hello,

I try:

Parameters: pa_waers TYPE WAERS.

WAERS is a ddic data element for currencies and also a domain with this name exists. The domain WAERS has a check table TCURC.

When I press F4 for my field PA_WAERS in the Selection Screen, I assume a value help from the check table TCURC.

I activated and re-generated my coding (as mentioned in the ABAP-Keyword help for "PARAMETERS") but it still does not work.

Does anybody has a clue why this does this not work.

The same thing is for a parameter:

Parameters ..... type CTU_MODE.

Domain CTU_MODE has value Fields (A, E, B) but also here on my program no F4 help occurs.

Thanks in advance

Stefan Berger

Hi Stefan,

I have no explanation why it's not working implicitly but as a workaround you can use this definition:

Parameters: pa_waers TYPE WAERS MATCHCODE OBJECT RSCURRENCY.

Kind regards

Ralf

A value table is assigned to a domain. It becomes a check table when a foreign key relationship is established for a field in a table. The field uses the data element and the data element uses the domain.

For example, if you try:

PARAMETERS: PA_WAERS TYPE EKKO-WAERS.

You will get the F4 help you are looking for. If you use tran SE11 and view EKKO, find field WAERS, use tab Entry Help/check and you will see that table TCURC has been established as a check table. You can use the foreign key button to see the relationship that has been established between EKKO and TCURC.

Also, domains cannot be used to type a field. Your reference to CTU_MODE must be referring to a Data Element. I tried this in a 4.7 system and the F4 works for me. What version are you using?

Stefan,

domain WAERS has no value range.

Wherefrom shall F4-Help take the values.

So correct codeing is:

Parameters: pa_waers TYPE TCURC-WAERS.

Thank you all for your help!

Charles: I'm working with 4.6C

Andreas: I thought the "parameter .... type ..." refers to the Data Element WAERS.

The Data Element WAERS has a Domain WAERS which has a checktable TCURC.

I thought it should use the F4 help from here.

I think the problem is solved here.

Thanks for your help again.
