Match Code/ Search Help

Hi !
I need to create a new matchcode for transaction XD03 which is directly a clone of search help DEBIX with additions of two fields i.e street 4 and street 5(STR_SUPPL3 & LOCATION). When I do that by copying and adding the two fields somehow I was not getting theright thing and it was taking me through the DEBIX , probably due to teh fact that I was using the same FM used in DEBIX. SO i created another database view table and put the required fields needed in it, but still I am not getting the result.
Can anyone help me in creating this new search help which will be similar to DEBIX and the two fields added to it.
Thanks

Are those fields are from the smae table or they are from same table. what is happening when you go to view and check the entries, are those fields populated or not.
May be inside the function they are populating the search help values with some coding manually , which don't include the Fields which you added recently.
For time being, just to test remove the Exit function and check it once , are you getting values in those fields are not..

Window freezes when Product category selected via match-code (search help)

Hello Experts,
I am using SRM 7.0 Extended Classic Scenario.
I maintained a product category hierarchy in the SRM environment.
I maintained the GL Accounts related, the tax determination, the source system etc.
I did all this customizing in a Development environment where everything was working fine.
Now I just transported all this to a Quality environment.
And in the Quality I am facing the following issue :
If I select a product category via the match-code (search help), after the category is selected, the window freezes.
I have to shut it down manually using the Windows Close button.
However, when I type the category number, everything works fine.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue, and how to fix it ?
Thanks in advance,
Sofiane

Hello,
We have the exact same issue in SRM 7.0 Extented Classic Scenario. This was working fine before we installed the latest support package 11. Which support package do you have?
The same problem occurs with every drop down menu (search help) in EBP. For example when creating a new shopping cart, if I try to add approver, the same thing happens. After clicking 'Approval Process: Display / Edit Agents' > 'Add Approver', the window freezes. Same thing happens with IE8 and Firefox 3.6.13. Could you also try the same?
Could it be a new bug in SP11?
Thanks and best regards,
Matti Hokkanen

Match Codes / Search Helps for Duplicate Check Vendor are missing

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to enable the Duplicate Check for the Vendor solution we have here and I couldn't help, but notice that when I'm setting up the DB Search in "Define Search Application", the out of the box values for existing search helps are already preconfigured and the values are the following:
BP MC_BP_ADDRESS Address Data
BP MC_BP_BANK_DETAIL Bank Details
BP MC_BP_GENERAL General Data
BP MC_BP_ID_NUMBER Identification Numbers
BP MC_BP_ROLES BP Roles
Unfortunately, when I check in SE11 - those search helps do not exist in the system. How can I get them deployed? Are they part of a Business Set that I missed to install and activate?
Thanks in advance,
Boris

Hi Boris
Please check that the following is set in your system:
Configure Duplicate check for entity types - BP need the following:
Assign search object connector template to object types - BP need the following:
Ensure that "Business Partner template for MDG" connector is created in ESH_COCKPIT

Match Code Search

All,
We use Asset Balance Report, S_ALR_87011963 . The description field is case sensitive. We have a case where the asset descriptions are in consistent: e.g. BALL vs. ball. When running this report one can only find all assets with "BALL" or "ball". Is anyone aware of how to set up a "Matchcode" search that will find the word "Ball" no matter if it us Upper or Lower Case?
Thanks,
Dan

For MM02 / MM01:
Press F1 on the "Material" screen field.
Select the "Technical Details" button.
Double click on the fieldname "MATNR".
Structure RMMG1 is displayed.
Check the Search help for the fields MATNR in "Entry Help / check" tab.
It is MAT1.
For VA02
Press F1 on the "Material" screen field.
Select the "Technical Details" button.
Double click on the fieldname "MABNR".
Structure RV45A is displayed.
*Check the Search help for the component MABNR in "Entry Help / check" tab.
It is S_MAT1.
Double click on the collective search help S_MAT1.
The "Included search help" tab displays the append search help - S_MAT1_APPEND
Add another search help here using the menu path Goto -> Append Search help
If you modify search help MAT1 or MAT1
S_MAT1 -> S_MAT1_APPEND -> MAT1 -> MAT1A / MAT1_MPN, then all the tcodes where the Material field with search help MAT1/ MAT1A is used will be modified.
So modify search help S_MAT1. It will reflect in VA02.
Hope this helps.

Code Search HELP

Here is my situation. I have a table that has a list of codes almost 100K. I have another table that has code listed in term of an in house regular expression.
Example:
40a.[1,2,3]
12b
Where
a is 0 - 9
b is 1 - 9
I have tried using REGEXP_LIKE but I get ORA-04030: out of process memory error.
My question is there a way to do this search such that it will be fast and efficient.
I have through about expanding the Expressed code, but that could lead to a lot of codes, and it specially gets tricky if the code is in the format of "1a2b". In this case I would need to somehow create 90 (10*9) rows. I am not entriely sure how to do this dynamically, because there could be a lot of variations.
The current approcach I am thinking of is to search based on character placement. Such that each character becomes a column and I do the comparisson as
Base_Char_1 = Code_Exp_1
Base_Char_2 = Code_Exp_2
I have not figured out how this would work. Shown below is the REGEXP_LIKE approach. Any help or advice would be great.
WITH t1 AS
     (SELECT '40a.[0,1,9]1' AS code_exp
        FROM DUAL
     ), t2 AS
       (SELECT code_exp
             , '^' || REPLACE (REPLACE (REPLACE (REPLACE (code_exp, 'a', '[0-9]'), '.', '\.'), 'b', '[1-9]'), ',') || '$' AS code_regexp
          FROM t1)
SELECT *
FROM t2
WHERE REGEXP_LIKE ('402.11', code_regexp)Thanks.

Well, it is probably a design issue - joining 100 000 codes with 10 000 regular expressions based on regexp_like() will effectively mean 1e9 calculated regular expressions, which means a lot of work i suppose.
Besides that, there is indeed something strange on pga/uga memory consumption when regular expressions are stored in the table. I've set up small test case based on your data

Dynamic search help for one field of the SM30 generated maintenance view

Hi experts,
I have one Z* table with three fields. For that table I have generated maintenance dialog in SE55 so I can now run the maintenance in SM30. My requirement is: as soon as a user enters a value for the first field, the search help for the second field should be depended on the value in the first field. Let's say when user entered value 01 into the first field then the search help for the second field should be S_HLP01. For other values entered into the first screen the search help for the second field should be S_HLP02. Both search helps are standard (the names differ).
Is there any change how to achieve this without making completely new dynpro transaction?

Hi ,
You can try it this way.
pass your match-code( search help to function ) HELP_VALUES_GET_WITH_MATCHCODE and get the value and update it in your screen field.
But you have to modify the flow logic in POV event. it would be better if you create your own transaction because once the maintenance is regenerated your modified flow logic will vanish

Exit: Standart Search Help

Hi.
I am involved in an upgrade Project and I am having problems with one transaction that was enhanced in a Match Code.
I found the match code (search help) that was enhanced in the last version (4.6C) and I realized that in the new version it was not changed, so I did it manually. When I tested the match code in last version I put break points in the function module related with the search help and when I press the match code, the debug showed to me the function module related with the enhanced search help. I did the same in the new version, but the search help did not attach the function module enhanced.
I dont really know which the problem is, but I can see that it is like if the search help that was modified were not the correct one.
So, what I want to know is how I could find in a standard transaction, the name of the search help (match code) that I need to change.
Thanks..
Diana.

You may need to find out where or at what level the search help is attached. There is a hierarchy for this, the below link may help you.

Difference between Search Helps and Match Codes?

Difference between Search Helps and Match Codes?

Serch help
Search Helps
The input help (F4 help) is a standard function of the R/3 System. The user can display the list of all possible input values for a screen field with the input help. The possible input values can be enhanced with further information. This is meaningful especially when the field requires the input of a formal key.
Standard Input Help Process
A user calls an input help with the following steps (some steps can be omitted, depending on the definition of the input help):
The user starts the input help to display the possible input values for a field (search field) in a screen template.
The system offers the user a number of possible search paths. The user selects one of these search paths. Each search path offers a number of restrictions to limit the number of possible input values. These values are offered in a Dialog box for value restriction when the search path is selected.
The user enters restrictions if required and then starts the search.
The system determines the values that satisfy the entered restrictions (hits) and displays them as a list (hit list).
The user selects the most suitable line from the hit list by double-clicking.
The value of the search field is returned to the screen template (possibly together with other values).
Steps 2 and 3 are omitted if there is only a single search path available. In this case the dialog box for the value selection is offered immediately. You can also output the hit list directly after starting the input help. Steps 2 to 4 are omitted in this case.
Function of a Search Help
This standard process can be completely defined by creating a search help in the ABAP Dictionary. This search help only has to be assigned to the screen fields in which they should be available (see Attaching Search Helps to Screen Fields).
There are two types of search help:
Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.

Match code
Match code is nothing but the Search help in Higher versions
It is same way from SE11 you have to create.
so from SE11 create it and use it.
Matchcode objects are being replaced by search helps. This is good as search helps are easy to create. However, it has caused some confusion on how best to add search helps to a selection field.
The trick that I found is to keep your newly created search helps to a 4-character name. The Matchcode object name has this old 4-character limit. This trick is not documented anywhere in the system but it has been a great time saver for me. You can expand this concept by finding existing SAP search helps that are more than 4-characters, copy them to a 4-character name and presto, you have a new matchcode object available for use

CUP - custom field and match code

Hi,
is it possible to have a custom field in CUP with a match code to help searching ?
the only two way that i found are dropdown lists for a table from a backend system and free field ( varchar, date, numeric)
thanks
Regards
Aurelien

Hi Aurelien,
You can create custom fields in CUP for the following types.
1 Text type
2 Numeric type
3 Date type
4 Drop down
a) drop down data define in CUP
b) Drop down data coming from backend table.
If you want a request to be associated with a match code that helps you seaching the request later.
Than create an text type custom field and use in a workflow.
While a creating the request define the value of custom field.
Now you can serch request on the basis of the value define in the custom field.
Kind Regards,
Srinivasan

However the mathc code search in (mk02/mk03) allows vendors in all account groups to be seen, showing post code and name.
Is there an authorisation object to prevent this and only allow visibility of a specific vendor account group within the match code search?
Thanks

Selection-Screen and Search Help

Hi
I'm trying to show a Search Help (using trabstrip) from an internal table, but when I execute the code, search help is showed twice.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 100 AS SUBSCREEN.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME.
SELECT-OPTIONS:
            a0 FOR ZCTRL01-ZSTATUS,
            a1 FOR ZCTRL01-ZLOTE,
            a2 FOR ZCTRL01-BELNR.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 100.
wa_estejec-zstatus = 'E'.
wa_estejec-zdescrp = 'Error'.
APPEND wa_estejec TO ti_estejec.
wa_estejec-zstatus = 'P'.
wa_estejec-zdescrp = ' Processed'.
APPEND wa_estejec TO ti_estejec.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN on value-request for A0-low. PERFORM search_help.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN on value-request for A0-high. PERFORM search_help.
*&      Selection-screen
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
CASE sy-dynnr.
    WHEN 1000.
      CASE sy-ucomm.
        WHEN 'PUSH1'.
          mytab-dynnr = 100.
          mytab-activetab = 'BUTTON1'.
          MESSAGE s888(sabapdocu) WITH text-010.
          sy_ucomm = 'PUSH1'.
          PERFORM inicializar.
     ENDCASE.
FORM SEARCH_HELP.
*&      Form SEARCH_HELP
FORM SEARCH_HELP.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      retfield    = 'ZSTATUS'
      dynprofield = 'A0'
      dynpprog    = sy-cprog
      dynpnr      = sy-dynnr
      value_org   = 'S'
    TABLES
      value_tab   = ti_estejec.
ENDCASE.
Thanks in advance.

Well, the code you posted won't pass a syntax check. You have an extra form statement, a missing endform statement and an extra endcase statement.
But have you put the assignments to ti_estejec in the INITIALIZATION event??

Match code and search help

What is the difference between match code and search helps ?

Hi,
search help:
adding f4 functionality is search help(adding help for any topic)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/3d/e53642e2a3ab04e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
match code:
adding search help for the input field is called as mathcode object

How to implement search help instead of match code objects table in program

Hi,
We are now in upgrade process of code remediation ( From 4.6c to EC6.0).
We have created search helps instead of matchcode object table. This match code object table M_VMVLC has been deleted
in EC6.0. And search help VMVLC is available.
In the program, they have used <M_VMVLC > -<fieldname> i.e. <tablename> - <fieldname> in declaring parameters,
in the 'into' clause of select statement, in the 'from' clause of select statement, in the 'write' statement.
I want to know how to replace this matchcode object table with the search help in the program.
Thanks,
Abirami.
