Filter in selection window help F4 via user-exit?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there a way to control the values of an F4 help selection window via user exits?

An example on what I want to try to achieve:

There is a query with a manadatory filter on 0calmonth (of a cube). The user can use the F4 help in order to see the available values. I want to show the values in reverse order (thus most recent first) and on top for only the last 2 years.

I tried this via a step 1 user exit, but that doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

i_step = 1 is for populating the variable with the default value in the selection screen. What I would suggest here for you is to create a customer exit variable for 0CALYEAR and populate the current and previous year value from i_step = 2. So automatically you will get the month values of only 2 years in 0CALMONTH.

Hi,

I'm afraid I don't understand your answer. When I look at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bw32/helpdata/en/1d/ca10d858c2e949ba4a152c44f8128a/frameset.htm:

I_STEP = 1

Call up takes place directly before variable entry

I_STEP = 2

Call up takes place directly after variable entry. This step is only started up when the same variable could not be filled at I_STEP=1.

SInce there wasn't any variable entry yet, I don't see when step 2 will be executed nor how to achieve things with a seperate 0calyear var when one doesn't want to see nor filter on 0calyear.

Hi There,

I'm not so sure you can control by using user exit because it's too early, even beofre i_step = 1.

But you can use read mode to control somewhat the list of values returned.

Hope this helps.

Hi.

User exit variables will not help.

Take a look at [this note|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1416952].
