F4 Function Key problem

Former Member

Hello,

I am working on a program which is designed for a RF device. I would like the have pushbuttons to be assigned to the F1,F2,F3 and F4 function keys.

I’ve done a status in SE41 to do that. The problem is that this status works for one my screen but not for the other one.

For one of my screens F4 button does not work at all. I don’t understand why, but for the preceding screen F4 works.

Any help would be appreciated.

I can add some details, like:

- For the screen with a problem, when I push F4 on my keyboard, nothing happens : the PAI does not start.

- F1, F2, F3 are working fine for all of my screen

- I already try/done:

____

Go to se41.

Give the program and the pf status name.

Goto->Atttributes->F key settings.

Check the check box for Function Keys for standard handling in lists.

____

in the Menu painter give your program, and status now from Menu Utilities->F Key consistency

____

- my version of system is :

SAP_BASIS 620

SAP_ABA 620

SAP_APPL 470

If you hit F4 the PAI will not be called. The search help could be linked to the table/structure field that you are displaying.

To be clear, I am working on a customer program. I do <b>not</b> want any help coming when I hit F4.

Please read my first post.

I want to have a specific action when I hit F4. That is to say, I want to have a function code returned in my custom pool module. So I can code the action I want to do in the module pool, when I get back the function code corresponding to the function key F4.

Hi,

It is better to use the Search help for that field which you want the F4.

coming to your part of code, in the Se41, just try to chage the Function type of that field which is not working ..

I do not remember perfectly, nut if you give some function type then the PAI won't trugger, so better just change it or use Blank and try

I have tried all the function type for my F4 function key, none of them solve my problem. So I am using the Blank value like for my other function F1, F2, F3.
