f4 help Problem

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have created a screen that has some fields and an alv grid. There is a date field in the header of the screen and the alv has some drop downs as well.

I call the screen from my program but when I try any of the drop downs in the alv or the header area the f4 selection does not appear.

I have tried testing the screen in the screen painter and the drop down on the date fields and some other fields work.

Does anyone know what the issue could be.

Thankds

In the screen for the date field properties give search help = BU_DATE_CHAR.

Hi

I have tried this before, the button appears on the right hand side of the date field but when I press it the screen seems to reload and it loses focus.

Thanks anyway Prakash.

I have done the same thing nothing happens, it's coming correctly. Initially I got the same problem as date without F4 and then I assigned the search help BU_DATE_CHAR.

In the PBO of the screen are you checking for ( IF o_alvgrid IS INITIAL ) before creating the object.

Hi Darren,

Try using table control instead of ALV for screen programming.maybe this might help.
