Hello,

I think instead of doing it at the enter event why can't you use the process on value request event in which once the user presses the F4 key then you go and fetch the values from your earlier field.

Hi Murthy,

This is a very common problem. The reason is that the data entered on the screen will not be available in the program till the PAI event is triggerred (in your case, the enter key does it).

However, this problem can be bypassed using the Function Module DYNP_VALUES_READ. This FM is very well documented. You need to get the data entered for the first field using this FM. This code should be written in the AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST event for the second field in question.
