Adding the search help in program

hi i want to add a search help in program for a particular field of a parameter how to do this?

U need to create a serach help exit for this purpose.
F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE - documents the different reasons to use a search help exit, and shows how it is done.
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/dictionary/shelp/shelp_exit.htm
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/dictionary/shelp/shelp_basic.htm
Create an Elementary Search help:
Eg: Zsearch
In the defintion tab:
Give the search help exit name: Zsearch_exit.
Also give the search help param and data element.
Copy F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE into Zsearch_exit
Comment:
callcontrol-step = 'SELECT'. (1st line)
Inside:
IF CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'SELECT'.
Select required data for the search help
Select stmnts as per your requirement and populate in itab.
Move all the selected records to Record_Tab
    LOOP AT itab INTO wa_itab.
      MOVE wa_itab TO record_tab-string.
      APPEND record_tab.
      CLEAR record_tab.
    ENDLOOP.
    RC = 0 .
    IF RC = 0.
      CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'DISP'.
    ELSE.
      CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'EXIT'.
    ENDIF.
    EXIT. "Don't process STEP DISP additionally in this call.
Let me know if its working for you.

Adding a new field to the search help exit

Hi friends,
adding a new field to the search help exit. How does it work ?
Thanks in advace
Ilhan

The search help exit allows you to modify functionality of search help. If you add a new field to the
parameter list that is not contained on the selection method you can manually populate it within the search
help exit.
This would be performed within the u2018STEP DISPu2019 section. Once within this section all search help
data has been retrieved and is stored in table RECORD_TAB (record_tab-string) as one long string value.
Therefore you need to read table SHLP in-order to locate position of value within string.
Example:
To find position of personnel number (PERNR) within elemenory search
help M_PREMN you would use the following code:
Loop at record_tab.
     read table shlp-fielddescr into wa_shlp
                                   with key tabname   = 'M_PREMN'
                                            fieldname = 'PERNR'.
You could then use this information in the following way, for
example, to find a persons organisation unit:
      select orgeh endda
        up to 1 rows
        from pa0001
        into (ld_orgeh,ld_endda)
       where pernr eq record_tab-string+wa_shlp-offset(8)
                                                  u201Cpernr length is 8
       order by endda descending.
      endselect.
      select single orgtx
        from t527x
        into ld_orgtxt
       where orgeh eq ld_orgeh and
             sprsl eq sy-langu and
           ( endda ge sy-datum and
             begda le sy-datum ).
If you have added a new field to the end of the parameters list
the next step is to populate it by adding this data to the end of
the record_tab string:
concatenate record_tab-string ld_orgtxt into record_tab-string.
modify record_tab.
endloop.

How to restrict the search help given to a field for a specific program ??

Hi,
I have one search help which is attached to a field.
This seach help is using a Z table and showing values perfectly for one program where I attached earlier.
The same fields and Z table I am using is some other related program where user wants to see the restricted values only.
I am not getting, how a search help can be restricted.
I try to take a example of it.
If in first program the search help values are:
Material           Level
Orange              1
Mango               2
Grapes              3
Now in the second program user wants to see only levels not the material. I Have given only two colums for understanding purposes not all .
Please suggest what are the possible ways we can do it.
Thanks right now.

How to restrict the results in the search help

Hi Friends,
My current assignment calls for a program using search help. The scenario is.. there are different radio buttons for organizational units and if a unit is selected, corresponding users need to be displayed in the screen. Multiple selection should be allowed.
I created the search help and attached it to the screen field userid. I am able to display all the users.
But my problem is , i need to consider the organizational unit before displaying the users... If the radio button for A/R is selected, only the A/R should be displayed.....
Is there any way that we could restrict the entries in the search help? Please help me with your expert advices and
suggestions.
Thanks
Poornima

Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar

The above question has been asked a number of times already, and some replies date back 8 months or more. Sadly, whilst the
offers of help are much appreciated, they no longer seems to fix the problem, AFAICS.
My setup details, if it assists:
Dell Inspiron N5110 laptop
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2,00GHz
4.00GB RAM
WDC [Western Digital) WD6400BPVT-75HXZT1 5400 6.5GB HDD
NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M video card
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 64meg onchip GPU
Win 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1
Mozilla Firefox v4.0.1
Having bought the above laptop, I am in the process of changing from old to new. During a mass MS update session, Firefox was
impregnated with a 'bing' search box and button [It is perfectly possible that I inadvertantly 'speed clicked' a sneaky 'install me'
button on the way]. Anyhoo, I now have said search box/button and want rid asap. The Firefox help suggests following the
advice in their item entitled 'Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar', but this shows as out of date. Furthermore, I
have no 'bing' or 'search helper extension' entries in my 'Programs & Features' applet in Control Panel, neither do I have MS
KB982217 installed to uninstall. There are no eponymous entries in Firefox's 'Tools/Addons' menu.
Any ideas, please?

Apologies for the formatting there. No idea what went wrong...

How to locate the Search Help?

Hi,
According to the following code the search help is cram, but when I went to the "crhd" Dictionary using SE11 could not find any search help for field "arbpl" such as cram. This means there is another way of finding the search help.
SELECT-OPTIONS zw_werks FOR crhd-arbpl MATCHCODE OBJECT cram
Thanks,
Kishan

Hi Surjit,
The Code works perfectly. I copied this code from another program and confused from where the "cram" search help come from. It's not in the Dictionary of "CRHD" and field "ARBPL".
Thanks,

Search help freely programmed

Hi all,
is anyone able to explain me how to use Search Help freely programmed?
thanks
GN

Hi Gabriele,
Please go through the component DEMO_VALUE_HELP. This explains all the input help types. The freely programmed search help has been implemented for the CONNID input field of view V1. The Web Dynpro component FREE_VALUE_HELP in the same package is the component where the search help is coded.
Also below are the steps to be followed for implementing the freely programmed search help.
This kind of value help is implemented as a Web Dynpro component implementing the Web Dynpro
component interface IWD_VALUE_HELP. To be able to use the value help for a certain input field, the following steps are necessary:
1) A component usage of the value help component (HC) has to be declared
by the consumer component (CC).
2) A usage of the HC interface controller has to be declared in the CC view.
3) The input help mode User-Defined Programming has to be chosen for the attribute that is bound to the input field under consideration. The HC usage must be related to this attribute. The component interface of the HC has only one method: set_value_help_listener( ). This method is called by the Web Dynpro runtime if the value help button of the input field under consideration is clicked. The HC has to be implemented as follows:
1) The method set_value_help_listener( ) has an import parameter. This means that the reference to the listener, provided by the Web Dynpro runtime, is passed to the user-defined HC. This reference has to be saved as a user defined controller attribute.
2) To close the help value dialog box, the close_window( ) method of the listener has to be used.
3) All views have to be embedded into a window having the name WD_VALUE_HELP. This name is used by the Web Dynpro runtime.
4) To exchange data between the CC and the HC, context mapping can be used.
For implementing the component interface IWD_VALUE_HELP, you need to choose the Reimplement button in the HC. The implementation status changes to green and the events and the method of the component interface are visible in the HC controller.

Uday

Adding elementry search help to SAP standard Collective Search help

Hi,
I had copied standard elementary search help to MAT0M to ZZ_MAT0M and added some more fields and activated to it.
it got activated sucessfully.
Now i have to attached the ZZ_MAT0M elementry search help to standard collective search help MAT1_A.
How can i do that?
can i add it directly to MAT1_A (sell --->search help <MAT1_A> changes --> in included search helpss tab using + (insert icon) )
Thanks & regards

I solved my problem :
I had copied standard elementary search help to MAT0M to ZZ_MAT0M and added some more fields and copied Database View M_MAT1M to ZZ_M_MAT1M and addedd same fields and activated both.
both got activated sucessfully.
Now i have to attached the ZZ_MAT0M elementry search help to standard collective search help MAT1_A and this Z-search help shd appear on the first tab.
so I just went to collective search help MAT1_A in change mode --> click on "+" icon addedd my ZZ__ search help, save and activated it.
If you dont really care in which tab your search help shd appear, then the best option is to use Append Search help.
Note : if you are directly adding your search help in collective standard search help, then its better to remove hotkey form your custom elementry search help, as, if not remove will lead to warnings or make sure that you have unique hotkey in that collective search help.

Modifying result of the output of the search help

Hello Experts,
I am creating search help on field FUNCID in table EQUZ. Thing is I need to only display those values of FUNCID which has some values.. i.e if there is blank entry FUNCID in table EQUZ it should not be gettin displayed.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
saurabh chhatre

Hi saurabh chhatre,
If u want to hide some values or blank values in search help then try this one.
create the search help and in the Dialpg type choose "dialog with value restriction". then use this in your program. when u execute it, it will ask u to give the condition based on which it will display the search help values.

Hiding the Birthday Column in the search help in transaction PA20

Steps to generate the issue.
1) Goto transaction PA20.
2) Use the search help (Press F4) in the personnel number field.
A search help pops up.
3) In the 'Last Name - First Name' tab enter 'M*' in the 'Last Name' field and select the enter button.
A list of employees is displayed. In my system along with the last name and first names the employees birthday is displayed.
The business would like this field hidden as they have decided that this is sensitive information that they do not want everybody to have access to.
Can this be hidden by making a change to configuration? How do I go about this?

Dear Mark,
After pressing F4, when the list will be shown, select the heading of the birthday coloumn, right click, then select personalize, then select Birth date, and click hide fields switch which is in the same screen, then click enter.
See your problem is solved.
Thanks & Regards

How to change the desription of a standard SAP field in the Search Help

Hi All,
In Table T023T there is a field WGBEZ60(Long text describing the material group) and the data element of the field is WGBEZ60.
Requirement is to change the description of the field WGBEZ60.The desription of the field is - Description 2 for the material group.
But the user want as - Description for the material group. He dont want 2 in the description.
we are using this field in the search help of Material group for the transaction ME21N and ME51N.
So please tell me how can we change the description of the field in the Search help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Peeyush

As search help uses data element , it shows its keyword. So you have to do modification to that keyword.
- Go to CMOD
- from top menu GOTO -> Text enhancements -> Keywords -> Change -> type WGBEZ60 -> change the description -> Save and add it to transport
- now use that data element either on the screen or search help. It will have the descripiton modified.
Regards
Marcin
