Max, count of hits in search help

Hi all,
per default the maximum count of hits in a search help is 500. I know one can change that directly in the WD4A application, on the search help popup at settings. But is it possible to set this count to another value directly in SAP, system wide, for every user?
Kind regards, Matthias

You are correct that it appears that you can't change all of the system-wide defaults. You can change the Maximum Width and the Display type but not the max. number of hits to be displayed.
I did some digging and this value appears to be controlled by a constant c_maxrecords in the class CL_F4CUSTOM. I tried changing this value after it is set in the CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR using the debugger. It actually is possible, but only up to a value of 999. If you go larger, you get a field overflow on the screen display field - so I assume the designer of this functionality never really intended for customers to change the value of this constant.

Types of search help

types of search help

Hi,
Elementary Search Help
An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help. You can define the following components of this flow in the search help:
where does the data displayed in the hit list come from (selection method)
what information should be displayed in the dialog box for value selection and in the hit list (search help parameters)
what field contents can be taken into account for hit list selections and which values in the hit list can be returned to the screen fields (search help parameters)
what dialog steps should be executed in the input help (dialog behavior)
Collective Search Help
A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
When you define a collective search help, you only have to specify the search helps that are to be combined in the collective search help. In the input help, the values are transported between the elementary search help selected by the user and the input template using the collective search help. This is why a collective search help also has an interface for transporting the values.
Append Search Helps
An append search help is used to enhance a collective search help (that is not the original in the current system) by further search paths (elementary search helps) without modifications. This technique can be used for example by special developments, country versions, SAP partners and SAP customers to add further search paths to a collective search help in the SAP standard version.
An append search help has a fixed assignment to a collective search help. This appending object is enhanced with an append search help. The structure of an append search help corresponds to the structure of a collective search help.
The append search help takes on the parameters of your appending object. An append search help is automatically included in your appending object. The parameters of both search helps having the same name are assigned to one another.

Search Help Hit List Max 5000

Hi gurus,
How i can display search help hit list more than 5000 because the system display max. 5000 only
regards,
Next.

Hi,
Try this options mentioned in the SAP note
In the initial screen HELP --> Settings . Go to the tab F4 Help . Go to change mode and choose "Dialog" instead of "Control".
Now for F4 help you will get a check box "No restriction". Use this Check box and try again.
I guess performance will be seriously affected
Refer these SAP notes
Note 487689 - Search help control: Restrictions
Note 163738 - Hit List does not display more than 5000 values.

Search help how to restrict number of hits.

Hi,
I have created a search help in SE11, the search help reads a table view and the search help is connected to
exit HRMC_PREM_EXIT_A in HR. Everything works fine except for that I want to restrict the number of hits to 500, I don't want to get a result of 5000 hits because that search takes too long time.

Hello Benita
Set the dialog type of your search help = 'A' (dialog depends on set of values).

Issue in CATS search help Hit List

Hi All,
At the moment we are facing an issue in CATS .
We have added customer fields in the CATS data entry area by implementing CAT0005 and CAT0002 enhancements.
One of customer filed we have created Search Help by using SE11 in that search help we have given default values in one of field and due to that on CAT2 transaction in the customer filed showing search help and that search help giving 2 records as hit list ( due to defaulting value in SE11 ).
Now when user clicking on Record working time service in that when customer click upon custom filed search help its giving 30 records as hit list u2026( here the search help should give 2 records hit list )
Any idea

note that search help of CAT2 and record working time are different!
these are teh steps
please modify the following in the table TCATS_SHLP_ITS as follows:
1. Execute the T-Code SM31
2. Enter the table name TCATS_SHLP_ITS.
or check the class
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP_GENERAL
or check
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP*
take an example from Sap note 914125

Search help: default value for 'Maximum no of hits'

Hello,
I have a request from a user to change the default value for maximum number of hits in the search help.
Any quick hint?
Regards,
Michal

Not sure if this is possible and don't have a SAP system available at the moment ...
But check this out...
Is there anything in user profile ..
or check if the number of hits field has a PARAMETER ID associated with it...
Then in that case you might default a value other than 500 in your user profile.
Cheers,
Ram

Search Help User Exit (if "one" entry in hit list, skip hit list and export)

Hi everyone,
I hope you can help me. I spent many hours on this one but I just could not find a solution (by myself and by searching google and searching the SCN).
Problem like thread subject.
I have the requirement to create a search help using search help exit. Done so far. My search help works fine. There´s a Sel Opt and I get the hit list with several entries. "But" I have one problem. If there is only one entry I have to skip the hit list and just export the value straight to the caller.
I just don´t get it to work. I used the function module F4UT_PARAMETER_RESULTS_PUT but there was no value in shlp-interface-value. Record Tab was written, but value is not exported.
Maybe you got some hints for me?`
Best regards
Dominik

Hi Raymond,
I passed as followed:
***CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_PARAMETER_RESULTS_PUT'
*** EXPORTING
***       PARAMETER         = 'DOC_ID'
***       VALUE             = ls_disp_data-doc_id
***       fieldname         = 'DOC_ID'
*** TABLES
***       SHLP_TAB          = SHLP_TAB
***       RECORD_TAB        = RECORD_TAB
***        SOURCE_TAB       = lt_disp_data
*** CHANGING
***       SHLP              = SHLP
***       CALLCONTROL       = CALLCONTROL
*** EXCEPTIONS
***       PARAMETER_UNKNOWN = 1
***       OTHERS            = 2.
LT_DISP_DATA is filled with one entry only. DOC_ID is the name of the field I want the value to be set.
Update: It´s fixed. I reset the whole thing. I did set callcontrol-step = 'RETURN' after function call, "but" at the end of the coding there was a leftover from previous tries (an empty if callcontrol-step = 'RETURN' -shell). By setting this condition explicitly the "standard flow" was interrupted.
So, in short: I had to delete the empty if-condition for callcontrol-step = RETURN and then it worked.
Thank you all for your feedback, hints and suggestions!
Best regards,
Dominik

Hiding Hit list popup and getting multiple values in Search help

Hi,
I have a special requirement where I am using a search help for filtering data. My requiremetn is the data which I am getting in Hit list popup, I want all that data in a internal table for further processing also I dont want that hit list popup. Is there any method or something which can be used in search help exit to hide the hit list popup dialog and returning all the records which is fetchec in the record_tab.
Thanks
Tanmaya
Edited by: Tanmaya31 on Dec 16, 2011 6:52 AM

Hi,
I dont think you can make thru search help. Instead, I can advise you:
Instead of using a search help for multiple selection, have a button placed at the table control, so that once you press that, you get the desired values(just as in SH) in an ALV display. Then you can make multiple selection and call the table control again and pass the values to the internal table used for the table control, so that the table is filled with the desired values.
Hope this helps you.

Standard Elementary Search help number of hits

Dear All,
I am having simple problem with the Standard Search Help "RSFISCPER".
When i display with out restrictions it shows only around 219 hits , even with restrictions it shows the same number .
How can i see all entries in the search help.
If i give selection like FisVarient K4 and period from 001/2007 to 012/2007 then it shows correctly. but if i give only K4 then all entries will not show related to K4.
I appreciate you help.
Thanks

Dear Manjunatha,
You can copy the complete hit list from the search help exit,

SRM search help is restricted to 100 hits

Under default settings, the search help for eg. attibute LAG displays only 100 hits for the user, although more entries are maintained in the org structure. This also occurs when the user selects similar attributes during the creation of the shopping cart. The search help used is BBP_STORAGE_VALUE, which uses a search help exit function module called BBP_F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_STORAGE which explicitly in certain situations sets a limit of 500. Why are only 100 hits displayed for the user - could this be a template issue?

Our Basis guys followed the steps below:
Add the following parameter to the sap instance profile
itsp/SearchhelpResultPerPage = 1000
Do this either through RZ10 or directly at the filesystem level and change the 1000 value, that we used, to be greater than the maximum number of records that need to be returned
Restart the SAP instance and then check in RZ11 that the value is changed from the default (which is 100). Finally check that the search is now reurning the required number of results.

ALV grid - using f4 search help - want separate value from hit list

I have the following scenario that I am trying to resolve.
I have created my own search help with a search help exit for a bespoke maintenance table which lists categories against HR positions which are to receive workflow for these categories. I am designing a front-end for this table using an ALV grid whereby the person holding that position (i.e. name) is shown instead of position number. The search help allows you to select by First name and last name and brings up a hit list which includes employee number, first name last name, formatted name field, position number, position description and org unit it belongs in.
The issue occurs where the list brings back more than one hit.
e.g.:
1 Fred     Bloggs Fred Bloggs 50000001 pos1 org 1
2 Frederic Bloggs Fred Bloggs 50000002 pos2 org 3
If you select an entry, the formatted name field goes in the ALV grid field. I call the search help via F4IF_FIELDVALUE_REQUEST using the onf4 event .
What I want to do is retrieve the position number of the entry selected and put this into another table without having to add this to my ALV grid and make available for input. I want to use name only for the input in my ALV grid (i.e. if I select the second example, the return table in F4IF_FIELDVALUE_REQUEST shows the name Fred Bloggs but does not show the position number which I need to add to another table to update my maintenance table).
Can anyone suggest any way around this?
Many thanks
Larissa

You are right, you can add this fields as an import parameter to the list.
In Custom search help you must have marked fields as Export or Import parameters.
If field is marked as Export parameters, it will be displayed in the selection pop up.
If Import paramter check box is selected then this will be imported to the screen.
Check this SAP documentation for both these options -
Flag for IMPORT parameter of the search help
     Flag if the parameter is an import parameter.
Context information from the processed input template (screen) can be
     copied to the help process with an import parameter. Where an import
     parameter gets its values from is defined when the search help is
     attached to the corresponding field of the input template.
Flag for EXPORT parameter of the search help
Flag if the parameter is an export parameter.
Values can be returned from the hit list to the input template (screen)
     with an export parameter. The fields of the input template in which the
     contents of the export parameter are returned are defined by the search
     help attachment.

STEP SELONE (Select one of the elementary searchhelps)
This step is only called for collective searchhelps. It may be used
to reduce the amount of elementary searchhelps given in SHLP_TAB.
The compound searchhelp is given in SHLP.
If you do not change CALLCONTROL-STEP, the next step is the
dialog, to select one of the elementary searchhelps.
If you want to skip this dialog, you have to return the selected
elementary searchhelp in SHLP and to change CALLCONTROL-STEP to
either to 'PRESEL' or to 'SELECT'.
IF callcontrol-step = 'SELONE'.
PERFORM SELONE .........
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
STEP PRESEL (Enter selection conditions)
This step allows you, to influence the selection conditions either
before they are displayed or in order to skip the dialog completely.
If you want to skip the dialog, you should change CALLCONTROL-STEP
to 'SELECT'.
Normaly only SHLP-SELOPT should be changed in this step.
IF callcontrol-step = 'PRESEL'.
PERFORM PRESEL ..........
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
STEP SELECT    (Select values)
This step may be used to overtake the data selection completely.
To skip the standard seletion, you should return 'DISP' as following
step in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
Normally RECORD_TAB should be filled after this step.
Standard function module F4UT_RESULTS_MAP may be very helpfull in this
step.
IF callcontrol-step = 'SELECT'.
Maximum records are set to 0 because the counter for Max records keeps
running, even if you filter out certain records. This is a similar
problem as described in OSS Note 148525.

                (maxrecords = 0 defaults to maxrecords 500)
                As of release 4.7, it appears that maxrecords is
                being considered on the read of the view, rather
                than prior to presenting the selection list.
                When only 500 records are passed into this exit,
                the subsequent evaluation yields very few records
                in the selection list. By setting maxrecords to
                8000, the entire contents of the view are passed
                to this user exit, and therefor the search help
                yields a reasonable selection list to the user
                (as was the case in release 4.6b).

STEP DISP     (Display values)
This step is called, before the selected data is displayed.
You can e.g. modify or reduce the data in RECORD_TAB
according to the users authority.
If you want to get the standard display dialog afterwards, you
should not change CALLCONTROL-STEP.
If you want to overtake the dialog on you own, you must return
the following values in CALLCONTROL-STEP:
- "RETURN" if one line was selected. The selected line must be
the only record left in RECORD_TAB. The corresponding fields of
this line are entered into the screen.
- "EXIT" if the values request should be aborted
- "PRESEL" if you want to return to the selection dialog

Max number of Hits Account Identification

Hi all,
we are currently having the problem in IC that when somebody try to identify an account of an BP with more that 100 related sold to parties, that no account is displayed because of the standard max number of hits 100.
I have found the path to customize this in the SPRO but this sentence in the SAP help is making me some headache:
The higher the number you enter here, the more results the system will search for, and in turn, the more performance is affected. The maximum number of hits that the system allows is 100, which is also the default value.
I understand the point of the performance, but does this mean that the performance is also affected the account identification of the other BP with less than 100 related sold to parties?
Can anybody help in this issue?
We are working on CRM 5.0.
Regards
Abosi
Edited by: Abosi_3li2 on Feb 8, 2012 11:08 AM

Hello
The bug of nothing displayed if over 100 accounts are found is solved with [SAP note 1467929|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1467929.]
The code you are referring to is:
IF bpident_profile-max_hits IS INITIAL.
max_hits = 100.
ELSE.
max_hits = bpident_profile-max_hits.
ENDIF.
It means that, if blank, 100 hits is considered. You can modify the customizing up to 255 results since that is the limit of accounts to be found.
Regards
Joaquin
