Input help problem

[Former Member]

Current scenario i have an input textbox attached to an input help. A user needs to find a particular table, but do not know the exact name. The user only knows that the table starts with 'PA'. So, we need to filter all the tables that start with 'PA' for e.g. 'PA0001' and return it to the user for selection.

The problem now is that i cannot retrieve the input string given by the user for e.g. 'PA'.

Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Thanks!

i have this codes in my program too but the problem now is that i could not retrieve what the user has input. My input textbox is always empty even though the user has already input a string.

Please paste the code.

This is my codes. The string 'PA' is not hard coded. We need to read what the user input in the textbox. For example it can be PA, PB, PC or any other input.

Hi,

Use the FM.

select * from ztable into table i_f4help

where name CP 'PA' .

Call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

retfield = <Fieldname>(in selection screen)

value_org ='S'

TABLES

value_tab = i_f4help

Populate the values aptly. You will be able to capture the input.

Thanks,
