Initialising F4-Value-Help for date

[Former Member]

I want the F4-Help for a date field to show a month different from the current one.

By default the month containing sy-datum is displayed.

I want the popup to start in another month.

I tried already to create a search help and setting the startdate in a function module of it's group.

This worked in SAPGui, but did not in Web Dynpro.

Does anybody have an idea, how to implement this.

Thanks in advance

You would have to create Freely Programmed Value Help and within the layout of the Value Help create your own Data Picker using the DataNavigator UI element. With the Freely Programmed Value Help approach, you can ignore the current value in the bound context and start with any values you want. The downside will be that it won't be quite a user friendly. Instead of the quick calendar pop in place, you will get the full value help popup window.
