Hi,

Can you read the contents of other screen fields in the field exit?

Thanks,

Riyaz

Hi,

In principle, every field exit can store its value in the global variables of the function group (TOP) and hence make them

available to other field exits. Note here that field exits are always called and not only if an entry is made in the field or if the field is empty. In addition, it is not possible to make any assumptions about the order in which the field exits will be called in the future.

Reward if helpful...

Cheers,

Sundar.

Hi Riyaz,

I don't believe this is not possible,With field exit you have complete control of a single field for which it is made...

As you see the function module created for the exit has just one importing and exporting parameter to control that single field...But if you are having a key field from a table you can do a select and find the other field but the restriction is that the field you have must be the only key field of that table or the required result may not be achieved
