Search help for field in ABAP Query

Hi Experts,
For a particular field in standard table the search help(F4) is not maintained in the table level, which is used in a ABAP query.
Is there any possibilities for user-defined Search help using InfoSet or Query?
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
Balaganesh.

Hi Bala,
I understand your question better now. Since you mention standard selections I assume that your InfoSet is based on a logical database instead of a table join, direct read, or custom data retrieval program. You are correct that the AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST logic I mentioned earlier will not work for the standard selections of a logical database. The system gives you an error when generating your InfoSet if you try to use the standard selection name (in ECC 5.0 at least). I've tried various tricks to attempt to get it to work, but so far no luck.
You could, of course, use a different logical database as your InfoSet basis (e.g. VAV has a matchcode on VBAK-VBELN) or create your own data retrieval program and change your InfoSet to use the custom program instead of a logical database. In the second case you wouldn't need to deal with standard selections at all. I understand that these solutions are probably not what you need and, in the case of the custom data retrieval program, would be more complex (it may not be worth it to write a custom program just to allow F4 help... or maybe it would be... just depends).
Please keep us updated if you find a way to do it. I'll also report back if I happen to discover a way.

Create search helps for fields of custom tables

Hi,
Could any one please provide me the step by step process to create search helps for fields in custom tables?
Thanks in advance,
Nobin.

Hello Nobin
There is basically no difference between a search help for standard vs. customer tables.
An important choise is the selection method for your search help:
Either you use your custom table, a view or a search help user-exit if you need to implement very specific requirements.
Assuming that you can use your DB table as selection method the further implementation of the search help is quite straightforward:
(1) Define the parameters you would like to have a selection criteria (SPos = SPos) and which should appear on the result list (= LPos).
(2) Define the parameters that can be used as input for the selection (flag IMP) and are returned by the search help (flag EXP)

Search help for field in Standard Transaction

Hi Experts,
      We have a requirement to have an F4 search help for a standard field .
( Plant, werks, Tx AS01 ). This field is not associated with any standard search help, but it throws F4 values programmatically .
   We need to associate a standard search help ( BETR_BUKRS ) with this Plant field.
1. How to proceed abt it ( As it is a part of module program , can we straight away associate with the search help in the property ) ,it is a field of standard Transaction .
2. If we include search help above, what will happen to the already existing F4 functionality ? Can we have both in tabs ?
   Thanks a lot,
~Abap Lover

Hi Seshatal,
     Thanks for the input, but this field does NOT have any ON VALUE REQUEST event associated with it ....
   as soon as F4 is hit, it goes to Function help_start ,so I don't think we can make any changes here as it is standard .
   I think including a standard search help will help....how to achieve this ?
Thanks,

Search help for field of tcode MIGO

Hi,
I want to add search help for Goods recipient (GOITEM-WEMPF) field on MIGO screen, how to achieve that?
I tried with BADI MB_MIGO_BADI, but its now working.
Is there any BADI or field exit available?
Thanks

hi
i know that there are two options for defining the input help of a field.
1 Define the input help in ABAP dictionary. (recommended option)
2 Define the input help in the screen field. the disadvantage is that there is no automatic reuse.
1st option
Se11 --> create your own search help
    substeps:
        1) Enter short description
        2) selection method : this is the check table/view of the field GOITEM-WEMPF
        3) Search help parameter : parameters used in the search help.
        4) IMP: Import parameters
        5) EXP: Export parameters
        6) Lpos :hitting list [search result]position in the header [values 1,2,3,4,5]
        7)Spos: search position on the dialog search screen.
        8) data elements : they are from the selection method.
        9) Save and activate
        10) test this via the button "test"
       Note: the search help is not yet effective fo the field GOITEM-WEMPF
        11) Attach this search help for the table [ selection method mentioned above]
              a) Goto change mode of this table via SE11
              b) choose goto--> search help> for table
                        or Extras --> search help for table, in the next dialog box enter the name of search help
              C) The proposal created by the system for assigning the search help parameters to the key fields of the table is probably correct. check this and copy the definition.
              d) Active this table.
              e) Call the create entries function for table GOTIME again. the input help of field WEMPF should behave as desired.
regards,
Brian

How to add search help for field in ALV object

Hello,
In a program, we use ALV object ( container) to create a liste like : field1, field2 .. but when display we do not have search help for this . Could you please help me how to add match code in this case for field 1 and field2, We use set_table_for_first_display
Thanks,

Hi,
when you define your field catalogue you can create data elements with search help in se11 and use them for field 1 and field 2.
But maybe it is enough to use data elements belonging to a domain with a value help and to set field F$AVAILABL in the field catalogue or to fill the name of the field CHECKTABLE.

Klaus

Search help for field in SM30

Hi Experts,
This is a Z table with first field as GROUP and second field as KEY.
User can select values for first field using a search help. It has three possibel entries
1. Purchasing Org
2. Region
3. Coutnry
In second field the user has to enetr value based on selection in first field, for eg. if 1 is chosen in 1st field user will enter name of a purchasing organisation.
Can we dispay a search help for second field based on the selection in first field?
Like if 1 is selected in 1st field second field should display search help for Purchasing Org
if 2 is selected in 1st field second field should display search help for Region....in SM30?
How can we achieve this?
Thank you,
Anubhav

Hi Anubhav,
1.Go to the table maintenance generator screen from SE11 (Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator).
2. In the Table maintenance generator screen , navigate to Environment -> Modifications -> Maintenance Screens
3. Select and Edit the screen where you need this new search help
4. Create a Process on Value Request module for your second field at the end of the screen flow logic after MODULE LISTE_AFTER_LOOP.
5. In the POV module, use funcntion DYNP_VALUES_READ to read the value of field 1 on the screen
6. Fill your own table with the values for field 2 based on field 1 and display selection using the function F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST
Hope this helps.

Change search help for field 'customer' in Trade Promotion

Hello everyone,
I would like to change the search help for the customer field (CRM_MKTPL_TRADE-CUSTOMER_ID search help: CRM_MKTPL_CAMPAIGN_CUST_ID) to one of my own.
How can I do this?
I would also like to change the search help for each partner function in the partner-tab. Is this the same procedure as above?
Regards,
Friederike

Hi Friederike,
If I have understood your question correctly then here is the answer.
You can change the search help for the required filed. All you have to do is: Go to the table CRM_MKTPL_TRADE. Then look for the field CUSTOMER_ID. Change only the description of the field. then you can search by the description whenever you require.
But the procedure will not be same if you want to change the search help for partner functions. In this case you have to change the descriptionof these partner functions in the transaction BP.
But why do you require it, because the partner functions will be determined automatically.
Hope it helps.

Ankur

Search help for fields in custom table..

hi,
in my custom table i have two fields - table name and field name. when user selects table name as VBAP , for field names i need all the fields in VBAP to be displayed and for that I set the check table as DD03L and I am able to see all the fields. But i am not able to see the description of the fields rather seeing field name , other key fields of DD03L.
How do i get to display something like
field name - description - length (length of the field as defined in DDIC)
If search help will help then can u pl tell me how to create one ? or any standard can be used ?

Yes, you need to create search help and assign it to the field 'field name'
Please search SDN for how to create search help. There are 100's of threads with this

Screen Painter - search help for field

Hello All,
I have some fields in a screen created with Screen Painter.
The filelds's types are standard system types like BU_PARTNER or other.
How do I have to define them so that in the screen to appear the match code?
Thank you very much,
Diana.

Hi Diana Cotelea,
You can use standard search help 'BUPA'.
Do as follows,
1. Goto 'Dict' tab of the property of BU_PARTNER field in your screen, in 'Search Help' property enter the search help name 'BUPA'.
2. Goto 'Program' tab, for 'Poss. Entries Key' property select 2 or 3 from its DropDowm List values.
Try this.

Search help for field RESB-VORNR

Hello all,
I am using RESB-VORNR in the selection screen of one of my report. I need a search help on this field. Could anyone let me know the matchcode for this field.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, the operations is not a field which is tied to check tables or domain values. This is actually a field, which you can pretty much enter anything you want. That said, there will be not F4 help for it. So you must build it yourself. Depending on your company, this may work out for you or it may not. For example, at my company, engineering has developed standards which are adhered to which dictates that operation numbers are always a certain few and follow a sequence. So you could build your F4 help on the fly and tie this to the field on your selection screen. Or you could base the F4 help off of a group/ group counter which is entered by the user.    Below is an example of how you could build it on the fly.
report zrich_0001 .
data: begin of ivornr occurs 0,
       vornr type resb-vornr
      end of ivornr.
parameters: p_vornr type resb-vornr.
initialization.
ivornr-vornr = '0010'. append ivornr.
ivornr-vornr = '0020'. append ivornr.
ivornr-vornr = '0030'. append ivornr.
ivornr-vornr = '0040'. append ivornr.
ivornr-vornr = '0050'. append ivornr.
at selection-screen on value-request for p_vornr.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       exporting
            retfield    = 'VORNR'
            dynprofield = 'P_VORNR
            dynpprog    = sy-cprog
            dynpnr      = sy-dynnr
            value_org   = 'S'

Creating Search Help for Web Dynpro ABAP (FPM) Forms

Dear All ,
I am very new with SAP HCM P&F with FPM form. I am stuck with field search help functionality in FPM form. I have created on search help using
Web dynpro component to get all travel requests for all employees and linked it to FPM form field and its working fine....
But.... my requirement is how to filter travel request based on the PERNR (employee number) field in FPM form.
I think it can be achieved by using importing parameter LISTENER of interface IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_LISTENER but I am clueless how to pass PERNR to this interface to get travel requests for only employee number in field PERNR.
Kindly help me out in this issue.
Chohan

Use this code in set_value_help_listener
for e.g to read effective date.
wd_this->help_listener->f4_context_element->get_attribute( EXPORTING name = 'EFFECTIVE_DATE' IMPORTING value = wd_this->gv_eff_date ).
