Hi,

If you use this F4_DATE function module, then a Calender will open in a Pop up.

Here is the example code

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DATE'

EXPORTING

date_for_first_month = '20031208'

holiday_calendar_id = 'CA'           "<<==-- Here is how you point on a holiday calendar

*     factory_calendar_id = T001W-FABKL    "<<==-- ... or a factory one

display = ' '

IMPORTING

select_date = select_date

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 4.

IT DISPLAYS A GREGORIAN OR A FACTORY CALENDER AND ALLOWS YOU TO CHOOSE A DATE.

PARAMETERS TO BE PASSED :

DATE_FOR_FIRST_MONTH - DISPLAYS THE CALENDER WITH THE DATE PASSED TO IT. YOU CAN NAIGATE LATER IF YOU WANT WHILE SELECTION.

usually we pass todays date over here.

If both HOLIDAY_CALENDAR_ID and FACTORY_CALENDAR_ID were passed, the function module reacts with an exception.

if display is 'X' then selection is not allowed.

SELECT_DATE contains the value DATE_FOR_FIRST_MONTH or the value of the date which user has selected .

code:

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DATE'

EXPORTING

DATE_FOR_FIRST_MONTH = SY-DATUM
DISPLAY = ' '
FACTORY_CALENDAR_ID = ' '
GREGORIAN_CALENDAR_FLAG = ' '
HOLIDAY_CALENDAR_ID = ' '
PROGNAME_FOR_FIRST_MONTH = ' '
IMPORTING
SELECT_DATE =
SELECT_WEEK =
SELECT_WEEK_BEGIN =
SELECT_WEEK_END =
EXCEPTIONS

CALENDAR_BUFFER_NOT_LOADABLE = 1

DATE_AFTER_RANGE = 2

DATE_BEFORE_RANGE = 3

DATE_INVALID = 4

FACTORY_CALENDAR_NOT_FOUND = 5

HOLIDAY_CALENDAR_NOT_FOUND = 6

PARAMETER_CONFLICT = 7

OTHERS = 8

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

ENDIF.
