how to add F4 help on reports

[Former Member]

i need a F4 help on one of the fields in the selection screen declared as parameters.i found that FM F4_IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST is not present in my sap r/3.

so is there any other FM other than that or any other way to incorporate the F4 help in my report.

thanks.

You can use the following FM on ON VALUE-REQUEST of the parameter field

F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST

Hi Murthy,

The FM you were looking for would be F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST. (no underscore between F4 and IF.)

However, I guess you could also use the FM mentioned by Raja.

BTW, are you trying to use a custom field / a custom F4 help for a standard field?

Hi,

In addition to above answers , u can use

AT SELECTION-ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR parameter.

Thus you can implement self-programmed possible entries routine for input/output fields.

Hello Murthy,

This topic has been discussed at length in this forum in the past. For better explanation, you must search for the keyword with the FM name in this forum. This practice will actually help you in several cases and you will find that you don't even have to make a new post for that

The first step is to read the documentation for the FM, which is <i>very elaborate</i>.

Secondly, it would be quite simple if you could provide what field it is that you are trying to get this functionality for.
