Hi

F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST

This FM is used to display value help or input from ABAP dictionary.We have to pass the name of the structure or table(TABNAME) along with the field name(FIELDNAME) . The selection can be returned to the specified screen field if three

parameters DYNPNR,DYNPPROG,DYNPROFIELD are also specified or to a table if RETRN_TAB is specified.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

TABNAME = table/structure

FIELDNAME = 'field name'

DYNPPROG = SY-CPROG

DYNPNR = SY-DYNR

DYNPROFIELD = 'screen field'

IMPORTING

RETURN_TAB = table of type DYNPREAD

.

F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST

This FM is used to dsiplay values stored in an internal table as input

help.This FM is used to program our own custom help if no such input help

exists in ABAP dictionary for a particular field. The parameter VALUE_TAB is used to pass the internal table containing input values.The parameter RETFIELD

is used to specify the internal table field whose value will be returned to the screen field or RETURN_TAB.

If DYNPNR,DYNPPROG and DYNPROFIELD are specified than the user selection is passed to the screen field specified in the DYNPROFIELD. If RETURN_TAB is specified the selectionis returned in a table.
