SEARCH HELP FOR DATE

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have a screen containing fields from an internal table. As I cannot use the 'from dictionary' option in the screen painter attributes, (since internal table field is not in ABAP dictionary), I'm not able to display the search help for a field of type DATS. How can i access the stabdard date search help for my type DATS internal table screen fields?

assistance will be rewarded.

thanx in advance.

Hi,

Try this:

On your customizing screen flow,

PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.

Field T_ZT-SDATE " your date field

module create_dateselect.

In your main program:

module create_dateselect.

data:p_date like sy-datum.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DATE'

EXPORTING

holiday_calendar_id = 'CN'

display = ' '

IMPORTING

select_date = p_date

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 4.

t_zt-sdate = p_date.

endmodule.

Change your internal table DATS field data type to DATUM or use type SY-DATUM, in your internal table definition to get the search help for date.
