I_STEP 1 and 2 do you need to write same code for both

Question: Guru's,

Do we need to create code for I_STEP 1 and 2? For example the 25th of every month is an import day for us therefore we need to collect sales for the last 3 months. We have created code for I_STEP 1 to work off current day, do we need to create the same code except for I_STEP 2 step when want to allow a user to request a specific report date eg. 25/03? to work out last 3 months before the 25/03. It just seems that we need to create alot of similar variables/code and hence RKF's

Thanks in advance.

Answer:
please note the difference between the meaning of the different i_step values...

1 is processed BEFORE the variable popup and gets called for every variable of processing type "customer exit"

2 is processed AFTER the processing of the variable popup and it's only called for those variables that are not marked as "ready for input" and are set to "mandatory variable entry"

3 is called after all variable processing and is only called once (and not per variable)

cheers,
