select-options for time stamp

[Former Member]

Any ideas on which data element to be used for select-options for timestamp on the screen so that a user is able to f4 help too.

i am using data element 'tzntstmps' but i am not getting f4 help for it.

Hello Trivenn

I do not think it makes sense to search for any other timestamp data element which might be part of a search help.

TZNTSTMPS = UTC Time Stamp in Short Form (YYYYMMDDhhmmss)

How could such a search help look like? A calendar control combined with some kind of "time control"?

You may facilitate the entry of time stamps in such a way that if the user enters only a date in the LOW field (e.g. 20080422 without time) you change it AT SELECTION-SCREEN (PBO of your selection screen to 20080422000000).

Correspondingly, you change a date value (e.g. 20080422) at the HIGH field into 20080422235959).

If, however, the user enters already a complete timestamp you do not change anything.
