Catching user input in selection-screen or screen-painter before any event

2719 Views

Hi all,

I'm facing the following problem. I have a selection-screen, where a date is entered. Below is another input field, where the user can use F4. There, I want to use the date previously entered as a search criteria to limit the amount of records returned.

Unfortunately, the user enters a date and when he then presses F4 on the other field, the date is still empty (debugging code), although entered on the screen. Only when he presses the "Enter" Key after entering the date, then the variable contains the date.

Is there a way to get from the screen what is already inputed so I can use for a F4 search?

This is driving me nuts for some time.

Thanks,

Arl
