[Former Member]

i done general (MM) alv report

And i display "MATKL" (Material Group) in one of the column.

I don't know why, but when i stand on the data , i get f4 option

, when i asking for f4 i get message, u201CNo input help is availableu201D.

In the definition, I didnu2019t put the matkl original data element ,

I just put char9, i didnu2019t ask/build and double click or

Event for it.

so why do i get f4 option in this column ?

Hi,

CHAR9 itself is a domain in standard. Might be this would be a reason.

Delare your field as floows.

DATA field(9) type c.

This will help for sure.

It might be because you gave the reference fieldname and reference table name whicle populating the fieldcatalog for that field.

Hi,

Please check if you have statement:

at selection-screen on value-request for 'Your_Field'.

this will also generate a f4 help

Hi,

You need to populate the given below field catalogue fields for the column for which you need F1 & F4 help on ALV Report,

Ref_fieldname

Ref_tabname

Ajay said the correct answer...

chech this sample code:

CLEAR  wa_catalog.
  wa_catalog-fieldname = 'BANFN'.
  wa_catalog-ref_table = 'EBAN'.
  APPEND wa_catalog TO catalog.
