Drop down list in report program

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am using the function module VRM_SET_VALUES to display the drop down list for a selection screen field for a report program. It works fine in foreground but in background mode the job is getting cancelled and the error log states 'Make an entry in all required fields'. If I remove this code for drop down list for a selection screen field then the program runs correctly in back ground mode. So i feel there is some problem with the function module. Can anyone suggest me an alternate function module or how to correct this error. I have used the condition if 'SY-BATCH' is initial only then to exceute the code for displaying the drop down list for a selection screen field. But even then the background job gets cancelled. The function module is called in the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN output.

Thank you.

Hi,

Instead of that function module, you can declare your field as a list box and use the function module 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to populate the required values.

Else try using VRM Values function module in the event AT SELECTION_SCREEN.

hi,

I am using the below code but it does not display any value in F4 help or drop down.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

retfield = c_layout

dynpprog = sy-repid

dynpnr = sy-dynnr

dynprofield = 'P_LAYOUT'

value_org = 'S'

TABLES

value_tab = t_variants.

Hello Sowmya,

Are you trying to implement an F4 help or a drop down? Plz be clear.

If F4 help, then the call of the FM: F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST is incorrect.

You are not capturing the table RETURN_TAB. How do you expect to get the selected value?

BR,

In paramters mentioned like as list box

eg: paramters : p_text type c as list box . and then use FM 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' if you want internal table values as F4 help

or

Use FM F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST if you want domian level values

Hi,

Easy! You are calling that function module in the wrong event. It should be called in :

at selection-screen on value-request for <field name>

This way it is only executed if the user presses F4 (dropdown help) on that field.

Therefore it will no longer cause a problem for your background job.
