F4 help for Time field not working

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am using a input field type TIMS. When my WD application executed, no F4 help option is there on my Time field. In normal ABAP TIMS data type provides the F4 help functionality automatically for users.

In WD, in the Context the attribute of TIMS type is also displaying the Properties as below:

Input help mode: Automatic

Determined Input help: CLOCK

That means F4 help will suppose to come automatically, but it's not providing the F4 functionality on the Time field. It's sounds like a bug in Web dynpro ABAP.

I have also checked out a Document which suggested to use the User defined Value help to get the Functionality in customised way.

Is there any way to get the F4 help on Time field as standard one.

Please suggest.

Thanks

No, this is normal. There is no time value help in Web Dynpro ABAP.

From the online help:

There is no automatic F4 help for data element TIMS.

You can create your own Freely Programmed Value Help for time however. I created one and shared it as a sample implementation:

Hi Thomas,

I have already go through this Document suggested by you in another thread. Also created my own Freely Programmed Value Help as per the document.

But is there any possibility to fix this search help issue in coming releases?

It isn't broken. The functionality simply was never delivered in the first place. It isn't currently planned in the backlog for the next Enhancement Package. There are just a lot more, higher priority things for the foundation team to work on.
