Static input help for DATS type

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'd like to link static input help for screen field of DATS type. If I click on help linked to this screen field I get CONVT_NO_NUMBER error: 'Unable to interpret "=2" as a number.'

My steps:

- In Screen Painter I selected desired screen field and selected DATS type and "1 Show at selection" in its details.

- I defined global variable with same name as desired screen field

What's the problem?

Best regards,

Hi ,

For Date Conversions use :

CONVERT_DATE_TO_EXTERNAL Conversion: Internal to external date (like screen conversion)

CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL Conversion: External to internal date (like screen conversion)

Hi Lanka,

thank you for your reply. Can you tell me where to put this conversion routines? I can't find corresponding properties in screen field's details..

Best regards,

Josef

I only found Conv.Exit (convertion routine) property, but it has only 5 letters to put.

Hi,

FM CONVERSION_EXIT_DATEX_INPUT doesn't exists on my system.

I was searching in se37 and I found in function group SCA1 this FM's:

CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_INPUT

CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_OUTPUT

CONVERSION_EXIT_LDATE_OUTPUT

So I try IDATE and LDATE, but I'm still getting error: 'Unable to interpret "=2" as a number'.

Josef

I tried MODAT and PDATE too.

or else you can do some thing like this, give type as char(of length 10), now validate the date after input, it is in the proper format or not. like we do normal validation in module pool.

if it is valid then move that to date field.and proceed ...

Hi,

Just declare the variable on the screen as some date field.Use SY-DATUM,instead of DATS type.

Hi,

do this way.....

first declare the variable in program as

1. data: date type sy-datum.

2. now go to your screen,(click on F6) use get from Program

now choose date form it , and say ok, now save it and activate it.

delete the old one..

now you will be able to get all the things which you want.

automatical validation also possible, and F4 also possible.

Hi,

As <u>Vijay</u> correctly mentioned :

You can Validate the date entered in the Pop-up by using m

function module : CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL

Whether the date entered is valid or not.
