HI

Go to screen painet and go to attributes of field by DB clik on it. If you want to apply your own search help then give its name under ATTR-DICT-search help otherwise go to ATTR-PROGRAM-Poss.entries-2.

Hi,

Declare the Date field like ....

GV_DATE like SY-DATUM ...This will ensure the date field will get F4 help automatically.
