Check User Entered Field Values in CATS application

[former_member197475]

Hi Experts,

I'm doing custom validation on CATS application in method ONSAVE of WDC - HRESS_C_CATS and getting the CATS beginning and end date by

wd_assis->gs_cat_record_input-(begda,endda).

Now my requirement is I need to check the data  entered by the user between begda and endda. Is there any structure to check all the values.

I know it's very easy to go ahead with User-Exit(CATS0006), but I need to do this validation triggers only for SAVE operation. So am going to WDC methods, as I can't check user specific actions in CATS0006 from portal.

Like for eg: In user-exits am using CATS_COMM to check the field values, such that I made a LOOP AT CATS_COMM to check all those workdate entries between datefrom and dateto. In the same way is there any structure/table that I can read it in webdynpro to check all those user entry fields for the week.

Please help and suggest me.

Thanks,

Ramakrishnan.

Hi,

Check the all the attributes in the class "CL_HRESS_AS_CATS", COMPONENTCONTROLLER, you will find the data entered by the employee.

Thanks Jyothi,

I have checked all the attributes and got GT_FIELDLIST_TIMESHEET which has POSID, workdate1, 2 ,etc.

But again I need CATSHOURS value. Any more idea, where can I get it from, please.

Hi Siddharth,

Thanks for your reply. I have checked the class CL_XSS_CAT_1_INPUT_CONVERTER and function
'CONVERSION_CATSCELL_INPUT', but sorry it's not useful for me. In FM they are getting the hours type and in get_context method they are using WAERS, UNIT, etc.

But my requirement is, I need to check the maximum hours per day for an employee which should not exceed 8hrs on save and check operation.

So am using the methods onsave and on_tb_check of WDC HRESS_C_CATS. But still confused of how to get the CATS hours value entered by the user on time sheet.

Please clarify me.

With Regards,

you can check here

CL_XSS_CAT_1_APPLICATION_CORE

*&                      IF_XSS_CAT_ROW_VERSIONSPECIFIC~GET_DAILY_SUMS

CL_XSS_CAT_BUFFER

*&                      IF_XSS_CAT_TIME_SHEET~CALCULATE_SUM

Please also have a look at the function CATS_GET_PERIODSTART

try to use post exit for GET_DATA method. Here you can capture the events and process the logic as per your requirement.
