Use this Function Module:-

F4_DATE

displays a calendar in a popup window and allows user to choose a date, or it can be displayed read only.

Reward if help.

Hi,

In select optins use:

SELECT-OPTIONS: w_date For sy-datum.

Then F5 will be automatically availabel. No need to do anything extra.

Declare the field of TYPE sy-datum instead of TYPE d, F4 help is provided by default.

Hi,

It can be done in two ways.

1. By declaraing the parameter of type sy-datum this will by default give the F4 help.

PARAMETERS: P_DATE TYPE sy-datum

Or.

2. By using function module

DATA: DATE1 LIKE WORKFLDS-DAY.                          "new
  
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DATE'
       EXPORTING
            DATE_FOR_FIRST_MONTH         = SY-DATUM
       IMPORTING
            SELECT_DATE                  = DATE1
       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 NOT DATE1 IS INITIAL.
    WRITE DATE1 TO Q0002-GBPAS DD/MM/YYYY.
  ELSE.
    CLEAR Q0002-GBPAS.
  ENDIF.

This will help you.

Plz reward if useful.

To provide F4 help for field on selection screen just refer to type sy-datum. like

parameters p_date type sy-datum.

If the field is to select in range give as select options.

SELECT-OPTIONS s_date for sy-datum.
