Query - PNP Database

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a question regarding use of PNP database.

in the PNP selection screen entered values

date - 01.02.2008 - 31.12.1999

cost center - X.

Personal Area - Q

in the database p0001 for pernr P1 there are two records for cost center history

1) 01.01.2002 - 01.01.2008 - X ( Cost Center)

2) 15.01.2008 - 31.12.9999 - Y( Cost Center)

As my input screen suggests pernr with only cost center X should be selected... why is it that P1 is being selected via GET Pernr ?

I can manually put a logic .. but PNP database selection screen is dynamic and user can select any field as filter paramter .. Have I to check and each and every selection field. I dont think thats how PNP would work.

Could you please explain where am I going wrong?

Thanks

Using PNP will not filter the records based on the values entered on the

selection screen .. except for the Pernr ..

U have to explicitly write the filter criteria after GET PERNR event.

Thanks for the reply.

does that mean for all the fields in pnp selection screen .. logic has to be explicitly written to handle data ?

not all the fields need to be handled.. but some fields such as

begda endda ... needs to be handled .. even though U give the

date condition in selection screen .. U get all the records in the structure

Thanks for the reply.

Checking for begda and endda is fine .. but i was refering to other fields which are visible in the pnp selection screen ..e.g cost center , payroll area, emp. status

if user puts selection criteria in any of these fields .. shouldnt the returned personal nos. from GET pernr be filtered ?
