ABAP Dictionary Search Help

Hi,
after upgrading to Adobe Reader 9.1.0 my interactive forms have started acting strange. For example, when pressing search helps the "wait" pop-up appears but never reaches the search help. Anyone who has any idea what I should do?
By the way, everything was working fine with Adobe Reader 9.0.
Thanks.

Hello,
you´re working with WD ABAP? If not, please provide some more tech info.
If yes, I would check the layout type you use (SAP and me both recommend ZCI = zero client installation) and check the WD script. Maybe there is a change between the support in the mentioned two versions.
Have a nice day, Otto

Eventing on dictionary search help on date field

Hi Experts,
In my WDABAP application I have a Date input field. I have used dictionary search help into this field to display calender searc help.
Now on select of the date from the calender I want to trigger one event which will enable some other fields in the application.
Can you please tell me how to implement this on select event of the date.
Thanks
Sonia.

Hi,
Since you are using an Input Field , only event possible is "On Enter" event.This event is triggered when "enter" key is pressed by the user after selecting a value in the input field.So may be you can use this and proceed further.
Although it may not serve you the actual requirement that you have to achieve , because input field does not have any event for "On select".

Problem with ALV search help Dictionary Search Help

Hello experts
I have a problem with ALV search help.
I use DDIC table ZXXX with text table ZXXX_T. I created DDIC search help form table ZXXX. In my WD application, in context on COMPONENTCONTROLLER i set on attribute: 'Input help mode' as 'Dictionary Search Help' and in 'Dictionary Search Help' I pass name of new created DDIC search help.
I create a input field from that atrribute and search help works fine (there was a value and description for value from text table). So I created ALV witch contains that attribute too.
Next I set column for this attribute in ALV as editable but on Serch help for this collumn I have only value. I DON'T HAVE TEXT DESCRIPTION FOR VALUE.
Please help me and tell me what I do wrong?
Miko

Hello,
Thank's for your help. I create DDic Search help for all fields from my ALV. Next I changed 'TYPE' for all ALV fields in COMPONENTCONTROLLER from ZXXX-Zfield to Zfield, and I changed 'Input help mode' from 'Automatic' to 'Dictionary Search Help'. Now I see Value and Description for value in Search Help in my ALV.

A ALV with some editable fields which have dictionary search help

Hi all:
There is a requirement to implement an ALV with some editable fields which have dictionary search help, do you have any idea?
thank you very much

Hi - yes it can be done.
1st in your object select the component SALV_WD_TABLE (ALV component) * do all the bindings of your component to your VIEW, Component usage interface, etc.
When you are declaring your context node attributes if you add a TYPE Data element that has a search help bind to the data element it will be accessible in your ALV or in the Attribute there's a INPUT HELP that option that you can add the search help there but you need to have your ALV input enable
for example:
data: lr_input_field Type Ref To cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field,
lt_column Type salv_wd_t_column_ref,
ls_colum Type salv_wd_s_column_ref,
lv_value Type Ref To cl_salv_wd_config_table,
l_col_name type string,
lr_cmp_usage Type Ref To if_wd_component_usage,
lo_interfacecontroller Type Ref To iwci_salv_wd_table.
lr_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ). *ALV is the name you enter for your component usage when declaring component SALV_WD_TABLE at the beginning.
if lr_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
lr_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
endif.
lo_interfacecontroller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ). *once again your ALV name
lv_value = lo_interfacecontroller->get_model( ).
lt_columns = lv_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_columns( ).
Loop at lt_columns into ls_column.
l_col_name = ls_column-r_column->get_id( ).
create object lr_input_field
exporting
value_fieldname = l_col_name.
ls_column-r_column->set_cell_editor( value = lr_input_field ). *this will made all your columns input fields
endloop.
hope this help!

Dictionary Search Help - how to trigger an event after F4 help

Hi,
I been searching the web lately to find a way to trigger an event after using the F4 input help.
Here is an example of what I would like to do:
- I have a WD form with a inputfield in it.
- The input field is bound to datalement "LIFNR".
- In my context I have specified the Input Help Mode to "Dictionary Search Help"
- And the Dictionay Search Help is set to "KRED"
A user will the click on F4 to start the Search help, then pick a LIFNR and the WD inputfield wil be filled.
What I want is to trigger an event when this is happening.
Does anyone have som tips or guides for me regarding this problem?
Thanks in advance! =)

Hi Mathias Hagen
Actually there is no straight way of doing this , but still you can trigger a event in F4 search help ... below is very informative blog to trigger the F4 search help by chris

Problem with Dictionary Search Help

very good morning!!
we have a z-search help called 'ZIH_TIPOIDENTIFICACION', and we want to select a line from the help search, and put the values in two fields. This is easy if the two fields are in the same context, but the fields are in different contexts. Field 1 is in the context BTADMINH and field 2 is in the context BTACTIVITYH and is a field of type 'attribute value'. Only works Field 1 . I do not fill the Field 2, the value for 'field-context_attr ls_field ='
our code is:
data ls_field   type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping.
data: lt_input type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab,
        lt_output type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab.
ls_field-context_attr = 'EXT.ZZAFLD00003H'.
ls_field-f4_attr      = 'ZTAXTYPE'.
append ls_field to lt_output.
ls_field-context_attr = 'BTACTIVITYH/Z_TIPO_IDENT_TEXT'.
ls_field-f4_attr      = 'TEXT'.
append ls_field to lt_output.
create object rv_valuehelp_descriptor type cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
    exporting
      iv_help_id        = 'ZIH_TIPOIDENTIFICACION'
      iv_help_id_kind   = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_name
      iv_input_mapping = lt_input
      iv_output_mapping = lt_output.
Any ideas?
many thanks

Hi Victor,
You can access the BTACTIVITYH field from the BT ADMINH context node using the relationships.
      entity ?= current.
*     Method 1
      current = entity->get_related_entity(
               iv_relation_name = 'BTHeaderActivityExt' ).      "#EC NOTEXT
      IF current IS NOT BOUND.
        RETURN.
      ENDIF.
Here the Current referne will have your new attribute to display in system. Use the same relation code in both set and get methods.
So that both attributes will be part of BTAdminH context node then your above code will work correctly.
Best Regards,
Dharmakasi.

ABAP query (Search help)

One Standard search help is giving resutlts perfectly ok in user's login having 'SAP ALL' profile but same is giving different results in user's loginwho do not have 'SAP ALL' profile. Kindly suggest.
Thanx and regards,
Rajesh Vasudeva

Hi Rajesh,
The reason for this may be that the user is not given the complete authorization for one or more firld in that query.For example user may have authorization for onle one plant PT01 and hence the o/p of query shows only relative data,where as in SAP_ALL there will be all the plants say PT01,PT02,PT03...
You may contact the Basis person for clarification.

Problems with focus on a "Dictionary Search Help"

Hello everybody,
I think I have a more specific problem depending on accessibility.
the problem is, when the dsh comes up it isn't accessable via the tab key at least not with the first 50 "tab-pressings". can i set a focus to the dsh? it's a big issue for visually impaired persons

Hello Christian,
I can't reproduce your problem. I just tried it with a standard Web Dynpro dsh for a businnes partner input field, and there I get to the first input field for selection after the 6th "tab-pressing".
Best regards, Matthias

Enhancing standard (single select)search help for Multiple value selection

Hi,
Standard search help for Business Partner (in cProjects) allows only single value selection for input fields. I want to make this multiple selection.
Is there a way to do it.
I used an OVS and built a similar search but its difficult to get the standard options like saving to personal value list etc in it.
It would be good if there is a way to modify the standard search help to allow multiple selection. Any ideas??
Appreciate your help,
Thanks,
Sri

As far as I know you can't make a standard ABAP dictionary search help return multiple entries - where you get this sort of functionality the searches don't use the standard Elementary search help framework (e.g. organisational structure searches)
Given that the WDA search help relies on these dictionary based searches, I'd think very much that you couldn't enhance it to return multiple. how you could even return multiple entries into a single UI element input field is also confusing to me.
I'd suggest creating a freely programmed value help, it would certainly take quite some effort to recreate those personal value lists etc, but it could be done - I don't like OVS, but that just me.

OVS Search Help

Hi,
I am using OVS search help for an input field.
I want to know whether it is possible to use personal value list in OVS, Like one in dictionary search help.
If yes, then how to proceed for that and also suggest any dummy program if possible.
Regards
Pankaj Aggarwal

Hi Pankaj,
I think, 'personal value list' in value help is only possible for Dictionary Search Helps, but not for OVS & Freely programmed. Check out the NOTE section of the [link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/47/9ef8cc9b5e3c5ce10000000a421937/content.htm]. It says below.
Before programming your own input helps, see whether your input helps can be depicted using an ABAP Dictionary search help. If you consistently use the search help and thus the default input helps, your Web Dynpro application is more uniform. In addition, the ABAP Dictionary search help allows you to maintain a personal values list (favorites).
This clearly means that, PERSONAL VALUE LIST is only for dictionary helps.
Incase if you use mix of dictionary helps & OVS helps and to make your WD application uniform, its recommended to disable PERSONAL VALUE LIST for dictionary helps.
Hope it answers your question.
Regards,
Manne.

Skip Search Help Screen

Hi All,
I have a standard SAP ABAP dictionary Search help. I want to execute that search help programmatically and get the return values in a internal table. Please note that I dont want the pop-up's for the Selection screen of Search help. Also I dont want the return values to be displayed as pop-up. I want the return values in internal table. Any suggestions to do this?
Thanks & Regards,
Mayank Agarwal

Hi,
If u don't want search help pop up screen, then no need to go for search help.
Anyway search help also doing database retrieval only, it is fetching data from database.
so u can directly fetch the data from database and put it into an internal table.
The execution time also will be reduced.
What u have to do is , analyse that search help from which table it is fetching data at wat condition.
there will be a search help exit for that search help in the elementary search help . This exit is FM.
In this FM They might have done validation or check that elementary search help to get the fields displayed on the pop up and the table from it is fetching the data.
