Hi,
If you want to add a search help to a structure or a table, it would eb a modification. No other way.
However, you could decide to program the F4 in your transaction. You could then make use of the FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST. Just pass to this FM, an internal table of values. Ofcourse you would have to populate some other fields like field name, etc.
Remember to reward points.

    hi shabeer ahmed
    This one is already posted one, chk it
    First in the MARA table the Search Help(MAT1) for matnr is selected and viewed.
    In the included search helps tab of MAT1 there is another search help MAT1_A.
    For that search help in the included u201Csearch helpu201D tab view is selected .
    Inside that there is a search help called MAT1_A_APPEND.
    Then in the included search help tab of MAT1_A_APPEND, the customized search helps can be attached.

  • Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

    I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
    Transaction Code - PP01,
    Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
    Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
    Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
    I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
    I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
    I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
    This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
    There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
    It's urgent.
    Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

    Hi Pradeep,
    Please have a look into the below site which might be useful
    Enhancing a Standard Search Help
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/daeda0d7-0701-0010-8caa-

    A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
    This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
    A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
    Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
    Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
    During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
    If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
    timepoints
    The following timepoints are defined:
    1. SELONE
    Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
    Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
    The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
    2. PRESEL1
    After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
    3. PRESEL
    Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
    4. SELECT
    Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
    5. DISP
    Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
    6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
    The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
    It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
    7. RETTOP
    You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
    8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
    The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
    9. CREATE
    The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
    The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
    10. APP1, APP2, APP3
    If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
    Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
    If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
    F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
    This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
    All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
    A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
    events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
    However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
    The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
    Hope this info will help you.

    Regards,
    Shweta

    Hi Shweta,
    Check this matter.
    There are 3 ways:
    1)In the PAI of the screen, add a module Process on value request.For example:
    PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
    MODULE USER_COMMAND_100.
    PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
    FIELD field_name MODULE value_request_for_field_name.
    *field_name is the field for which you require search help.
    In the Module value_request_for_field_name call this function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'.
    2)The above procedure can be used if the field you have defined doesnt have an existing search help.If it already has search help and the field in the screen is taken from the dictionary,then in the attributes,u can check from from dictionary under the dictionary tab.
    3)A manual search help can also be created in the se11 transaction by clicking on the search help radio button and giving the table and field name for which search help is required.
    Hope this resolves your query.
    Reward all the helpful answers.

  • How to connect search help to pa0001

    hi
    i have creared a new field in infotype called "SECTOER" - i want to connect a search help that i created to this field.
    The search help is bassed on table hrp1000 and SECTORE is field objid in the tale.
    is there a way to conect the SEARCH HELP to new field despite the facr that they have different names ?
    thanks Elad

    Sure you can use that search help. It doesn't matter if the names are different as long as the domain is the same.
    In case it is an SE11 search help you can attach it directly in the structure PSXXX  or HRIXXX in case you are creating a new infotype or in CI_PXXX in case you are enhancing a standard one.

  • Dynamic Search Help in WDA Table

    Hello Expert,
    I would like to assign the standard search help for Webdynpro abap table in item level,
    I know using the below code we can assign the search help for particular input field ,
    DATA lo_nd_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
               lo_nd_info = lo_nd_eqt_partner->get_node_info( ).
               CALL METHOD lo_nd_info->set_attribute_value_help
                 EXPORTING
                   name            = 'PARTNER' " Your attribute Name
                   value_help_mode = '121' " Valid value help mode
                   value_help      = 'DEBI'. " Search help name.
    But my scenario is i have one table which is having threee columns,
    Partner type   partner   name,
    so based on the partner type i would like to call the standard search help ,
    if the line item 1 is having partner type 'KU' then i need to assign DEBI search help
    if the line item 2 is having Partner type 'LI' or 'AG' then i need to assign KRED search help ,
    If the line item 3 is having Partner type 'AP' then i need to assign VKNK search help
    so please help me to achieve the same.
    Thanks,
    Sankar

    One method to achieve this functionality would be  :
    1. Find out the maintenance screen and function group of the table maintenance generator say 2000 and ZFGRP.
    2. Go to SE80 and open ZFGRP screen number 2000.
    3. For Field number 1 , it is assumed that there is already a standard search help for it.
    4. For field 2 - create a module in Process on Value Request Event in PAI of the maintenance screen ( Similar to any module pool program)
    5. Use FM DYNP_VALUES_READ to read the value of field 1 on the screen ( Because this is before enter is pressed and field 1 on the module pool porogram would not be populated with value )
    6.  While creating internal table for this FM, filter out all the values that are not required based on value obtained above.
    call the FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST( In Process on Value request event of field 2 in PAI)

    Hi Experts,
    I need to add search help to field ZUONR i.e assignment field in various tcode like fb70,fb60,f-02.etc which will select data from

    Please suggest.

    Hi,
    I don't know how to change "Value table" field on domain without access key, but if nothing else work, you can add new fixed values. From menu Goto->fixed value append.
    Other possibility is to use GuiXT -> write script that will call your FM that will get data from your table and show them.

  • SEARCH HELP FOR STANDARD SAP DATA ELEMENT AFNAM

    Hello All,
    Is there any possibility for adding a search help for the standard SAP field AFNAM.
    Thanks in Advance!
    Ashish

    Hi Ashish,
    You can APPEND your own search help to an SAP field that has search help defined. This is similar to APPENDing fields to an SAP table.
    You can also attach the search help to a field on a screen, i.e. limit the scope to that single screen, but this would still require a modification to the system, and hence, an access key.
    Hence if you want to attach search help to the standard SAP field, then you will need access key for that.
    If the access key will be available then you can attach your search help to the standard SAP field.

  • Search help for Standard SAP field

    Hi,
    I need to add a search help to Group key (KONZS) field in XK01 transaction. How can i add our own search help to a field in standard transaction?? This is some what urgent, please give me the solution .
    Thanks in Adavance,
    Moghani.

    You can APPEND your own search help to an SAP field that has search help defined.  This is similar to APPENDing fields to an SAP table.  But since field KONZS does NOT have any search help assigned, this option is not available to you. 
    You can also attach the search help to a field on a screen, i.e. limit the scope to that single screen, but this would still require a modification to the system, and hence, an access key.  If you want to follow that route, the program name is SAPMF02K, screen 120, element list tab, references tab, search help column.
    If you find another way to do this without an access key, please let us know.

    However while providing this additional search help, I need to show XXX data along with YYY( this is maintained in some other table but linked to XXX) .Is it possible.

    Hi,
    You can create view and join both tables. Then use this view in search help.
