ABAP sentence/code to call search help

Hello,
I created a search help in the Dictionary, and have used it in a module-pool, filling the corresponding field in the Attributes window.
But now I would like to call that search help from my code, in a different program. Is there any ABAP sentence for that purpose?
Thank you very much.

Hi Ivson,
You can use the matchcode object concept.Select-options or parameters can be used in case of type 1 programs.
select-options:s_fail for failtable-failcode matchcode object fail. "Fail is the serach help you created.
regards,
MV

Calling search help in SRM system

Hello all!
I have a problem with using the functional module F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST in SRM system. I need to call search help by this function module and retrieve output parameter. If Ive connected by SAP GUI all works splendid, but in HTML environment a behavior of this FM is very strange. In the HTML connection after Ive select the subordinate search help for selection criteria field search help becomes disappeared and main screen becomes shown as modal (sic!) window.
Does anybody know how to avoid this?
This is piece of code with FM call
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      tabname           = 'ZSRM_002_SCR_REQITEM'
      fieldname         = 'PRDID'
      searchhelp        = 'COM_PR_COLLECTION'
      shlpparam         = 'PRODUCT_GUID'
      dynpprog          = 'SAPLZSRM_PP_SELECT_SCREENS'
      dynpnr            = '9003'
      dynprofield       = 'ZSRM_002_SCR_REQITEM-PRDID'
    TABLES
      return_tab        = lt_return
    EXCEPTIONS
      field_not_found   = 1
      no_help_for_field = 2
      inconsistent_help = 3
      no_values_found   = 4
      OTHERS            = 5.
Best regards and thanks in advance.

Is my explanation not clear or nobody knows how to win this problem?

Calling search helps dynamically

Hi all,
I have two search helps. I need to call these search helps in my Application dynamically for a single field (PARNR) based on PARVW.
If it is a single search help, we can assign that in field attributes.
But here... I need to call different search helps for a single field based on the condition.
Pls help me.
Thanks

PARAMETERS : p_bukrs1 TYPE bukrs ,
p_kostl1 TYPE kostl .
PARAMETERS : p_bukrs2 TYPE bukrs ,
p_kostl2 TYPE kostl .
Req: When user press F4 on P_KOSTL1, it should display cost centers only for company code value entered in P_BUKRS1, similarly for P_KOSTL2 it should display cost centers for comapny code entered in P_BUKRS2.
I know I can select records on AT SELECTION-SCREEN .. ON VALUE-REQUEST for respective fields and display in F4 with some FM .
<b>Is there any method by which I can call the search help specifying the company code as parameter?</b>

by using FM DYNP_VALUES_READ u can get the values of BUKRS.
based on the values of BUKRS get values of Cost Centres from DB tables into Internal tables
F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST by using this u can display.

Use the below function module and pass the search help created in search help field according to the condition.
Process on Value-request.
if condition = A.

CALL SEARCH HELP IN WEB DYNPRO

Description :
My web dynpro contains some buttons and allow some interaction...
One of the buttons is : 'LOAD DATA'...
I'd like to call a search help when the user PRESSES this button, how can i do that ? maybe a reusable component ???
Thank you...

Hi Stephan,
Well there is a way by which you can achieve this functionality... You need to call the static method HANDLE_VALUE_HELP of class CL_WDR_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER. To use it we simply need to pass in a reference to the context element, and the name of an attribute. It will then run the value help defined in the context for that attribute.
However being SAP internal, the method could change or disappear at any time. So this isn't a reliable approach. You would be better off following the approach suggested by the other users. I am however just quoting it for your inspection.
Suppose I have a context node by name NODE1 & an attribute MATNR under it of type MARA-MATNR. Now up on click on a button I want the search help MAT1 for MATNR to be displayed. Below is the coding for the buttons action handler:
method ONACTIONCALL_VALUE_HELP .
data: wd_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        wd_element type ref to if_wD_context_element.
wd_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE1' ).
wd_element = wd_node->get_element( index = 1 ).
CALL METHOD CL_WDR_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER=>HANDLE_VALUE_HELP
    EXPORTING
      CONTEXT_ELEMENT   = wd_element
      CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE = 'MATNR'.
endmethod.

Steps to replace match code objects with search helps in ECC6 upgrade

Hi,
Upgrade 4.7 to ECC6, match code objects need to be replaced with search hellps.
SAP note provided by client but not understanding clearly. Can any one explain me the stelps to migrate the match code objects into search hepls.
Thanks,
Jwala Deepa

Hi,
Migration must be done by a developer who knows both matchcodes and search helps. It's not just like a procedure that you can follow without knowledge/without thinking.
It's probably a little bit like forms (but far more simple), they often need to be "migrated from scratch"
The first important point is where to find the matchcode object/IDs -> SE11 -> Utility -> Other DDic objects. Then you'll see that are the update type, base table, etc.
There's a little scheme here to show the differences: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/3e/f3fc37eeb70143e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm (plus the general matchcode documentation : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/cf/21ef1f446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm )
If you need a procedure, let's wait, and see if someone has one, but it doesn't look promising as matchcodes are not used since a long time now.

Clear error message on F4 standard search help in webdynpro abap

Hi Gurus,
We have a check on the data entered by the user in our webdynpro producing a error message if the data are not correct. My problem is that this message is also diplayed in the search help afterwards when the user clicks on the search help. I know how to clear an error message but I can't find the event triggered by the F4 search help to put my code. The search help is a standard search help and thus I can't modify it.
All I want is to find the event triggered when the user clicks on the search help. The field is in an alv but the alv click or alv action are not triggered when the user clicks on the search help.
Thanks for your help in advance guys.

Yes. It is called a Freely Defined Value Help if you want to have complete control of the UI that is displayed in the dialog:
