How to create a F4 help for a report selection screen field

hi,
can any one guide me to create F4 help for a field in a selection screen in a report program,plz give me a sample code

hi,
Here are the following ways
1.with the help of match code objects we can create the F4 Functionality for Field.
Syntax is :
PARAMETERS: p_org LIKE t527x-orgeh MATCHCODE OBJECT zorg.
2. One more thing is we can do it with Search Help's also.
3. Even we can do it HELP Views also.
Help Views:
You have to create a help view if a view with outer join is needed as selection method of a search help
The selection method of a search help is either a table or a view. If you have to select data from several tables for the search help, you should generally use a database view as selection method. However, a database view always implements an inner join. If you need a view with outer join for the data selection, you have to use a help view as selection method.
All the tables included in a help view must be linked with foreign keys. Only foreign keys that have certain attributes can be used here. The first table to be inserted in the help view is called the primary table of the help view. The tables added to this primary table with foreign keys are called secondary tables.
The functionality of a help view has changed significantly between Release 3.0 and Release 4.0. In Release 3.0, a help view was automatically displayed for the input help (F4 help) for all the fields that were checked against the primary table of the help view. This is no longer the case in Release 4.0.
As of Release 4.0, you must explicitly create a search help that must be linked with the fields for which it is offered (see Linking Search Helps with Screen Fields ).
Existing help views are automatically migrated to search helps when you upgrade to a release higher than 4.0.
A help view implements an outer join, i.e. all the contents of the primary table of the help view are always displayed. You therefore should not formulate a selection condition for fields in one of the secondary tables of the help view. If records of these secondary tables cannot be read as a result of this selection condition, the contents of the corresponding fields of the secondary table are displayed with initial value.

How to create a z-tcode for a report in FSI3 transaction

hi friends,
i want to create a z tcode for a report in FSI3 transaction, i have copied the program of the report and created a tcode in se93, but some more tabs are getting displayed in selection screen when im executing my Z Tcode, and report is not getting executed. kindly help.
regards,
nagarajan.j

Hi,
follow these steps:
1. enter into transaction SE43 and change any Z area menu (we won't save it anyway)
2. choose to add a new entry
3. in the popup, choose to add a new report
4. select "Drilldown"
5. the application class depends on the area from you are trying to define/launch drilldown reports. In case of transaction FSI3, the appropriate application class is "FBR FI:FIS - Balance sheet, balance sheet key figures
6. then choose the suitable report type. This corresponds to the nodes that you'll see in transaction FSI3
7. finally choose a report, and optionally a variant.
8. you'll return to the screen "Transaction code for reports" (same as in step 4)
9. expand the button to display further options
10. optionally, specify a custom transaction code and/or description
11. accept all popups. This will create the transaction
12. finally, exit and don't save the area menu
I hope this helps. Kind regards,
Alvaro

How to create a user parameter for a report

Hi,
I am writing a report in ORACLE 6.0, and I need to create a user

My database includes fields: item_id, item_cost, and item_desc.

the report will prompt the user to enter number into this
parameter, then the report will display item_id and item_desc
depending the user-entered item_cost.
thanks.

Go to transaction SE93, enter a transaction code that you want and click on "create". Enter a text and select the "Transaction with Parameters" button. In the Default Values section, enter START_REPORT in the transaction field. Check the "skip initial screen" box. In the Name of Screen field section enter the following lines:
Name of screen field:                               Value
D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE                RW

Save and transport accordingly.

call function 'DATE_GET_WEEK'
   exporting date = syst-datum
   importing week = zlv_week.
SELECT SINGLE *
      FROM tvarvc
     WHERE name = 'Z_THISWEEK'
       AND type = 'S'
       AND numb = '0000'.
tvarvc-low = zlv_week.
IF syst-subrc <> 0.
    tvarvc-name     = 'Z_THISWEEK'.
    tvarvc-type     = 'S'.
    tvarvc-opti     = 'EQ'.
    tvarvc-sign     = 'I'.

F4 search-help in infoset query selection-screen fields

Hi all,
I created an infoset, and it's corresponding query, and now I need to associate F4 search-help in two of the selection-screen fields. Since they don't have any reference field associated (they are SAP standard table fields), there are no possible values available to select.
How can I do this?
I have already tried to use the "AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT" in the infoset, but I'm not able to do that. When I try to use the select-options generated by the query (SP$00013 and SP$00014) I have a syntax error with "Field not known".
Can you help me? I never done this before, so I really don't have a guess.
Thanks in advance.
Beste regards,
Sónia Gonçalves

Hi all,
I have found thread that helped me a lot in this issue.
I just have one more doubt: I created the selection criterion and I can already see it in the query selection-screen, but it's appearing in the top of the selection-screen, in a different area called "General data selections".
Isn't it possible to include it in the "Report-specific selctions"?
Thanks in advance.

How to create text box with multiple lines in selection screen.

Hi,
i need to create a text box to capture comment with 300 characters. i want to achive this without using module pool,is there any posibilities to that
regards
raja

Since text on Report screens is limited basically to what's left on a line in the selection screen, you'll have to use Module Pool.
however, you can call a screen from a report program and use the editor within a Custom Control on the screen. Not a tough thing to do.

How to create a virtual directory for the Report Server

Hi, I am new to server admin and need help with configuration.
I would like to map a physical directory on the server so that users can use a virtual path to save report outputs in that location. For example the form will call the report with desname = 'd:\xyz\abc.pdf' and the output file will be saved in a predefined directory on the server. I know how to do it on the forms server using the orion_web.xml but not sure about the report server configuration.
We are using rwservlet to run reports on 10G release2/Windows 2000.
Thanks in advance,

Virtual directories are mapped in the httpd.conf file in the Apache directory as aliases:
Alias /xyz/ "d:\xyz\"
You can now call the report output with
http://server/xyz/abc.pdf
