ALV in Search Help

Hello ppl,
I have requirement wherein I need to provide an ALV display in a search help for a Selection Screen Field, kindly let me know if this is possible.
If yes the method in brief.
Will we need to use a exit in this case?

You can achieve a out put in search help by passing all the required fields into a itab and pass the itab to the function module 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'.
For instance check the following code to get the F4 help in select options for G/L Account. Here i am passing the itab IT_HKONT for the field HKONT. You define the structure and fill the itab with required fields and data. The structure of the itab will be populated in Search Help for that field.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR HKONT-LOW.
SELECT KSTAR KTEXT INTO TABLE IT_HKONT FROM CSKU WHERE SPRAS EQ 'EN'.
SORT IT_HKONT BY KSTAR.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
EXPORTING
RETFIELD = 'HKONT'
VALUE_ORG = 'S'
TABLES
VALUE_TAB = IT_HKONT
RETURN_TAB = IT_RETURN.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
READ TABLE IT_RETURN INDEX 1.
MOVE IT_RETURN-FIELDVAL TO HKONT-LOW.
ENDIF.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR HKONT-HIGH.
SELECT KSTAR KTEXT INTO TABLE IT_HKONT FROM CSKU WHERE SPRAS EQ 'EN'.
SORT IT_HKONT BY KSTAR.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
EXPORTING
RETFIELD = 'HKONT'
VALUE_ORG = 'S'
TABLES
VALUE_TAB = IT_HKONT
RETURN_TAB = IT_RETURN.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
READ TABLE IT_RETURN INDEX 1.
MOVE IT_RETURN-FIELDVAL TO HKONT-HIGH.
ENDIF.

How do we display ALV in Search Help exit

Plz help out !!

You have to program the exit properly to return the value to the field to which the search help is attached. Refer to the following link to find out how to do this: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/cf/21ee52446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm]

Explicit Search Helps Short-Dump in Editable ALV with included structure

I have an editable ALV grid defined as follows:
TYPES: BEGIN OF gs_outtab200.
    TYPES: row_indx(4)      TYPE n.
    TYPES: multipurp        TYPE c.
    INCLUDE structure zxrfwc_test.
TYPES: end of gs_outtab200.
DATA:
    gt_outtab200             TYPE TABLE OF gs_outtab200,
    wa_outtab200             TYPE gs_outtab200.
The included structure zxrfwc_test has a component (field) which is defined with a data element that has an explicit search helps associated with it.
I know that this search help is working properly because it works fine in the program's selection screen.
But when I invoke the search help from within a column of the ALV itself, I get a short dump with a "GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED" error.
I have done plenty of editable ALVs with search helps defined on the data elements and never encountered this problem.
Am I hitting this problem because the zxrfwc_test structure is defined within the
gs_outtab200 structure ??
If not, what is causing this problem. (Please note that I have set ls_fcat-F4AVAILABL = 'X' in the fieldcat routine - this doesn't seem to help at all.)
Please advise!!!!
I'm really stuck on this one because it's always worked before when I'm not dealing with a dictionary structure that's included within a larger ALV structure.
Thanks.

Search help (PREM) for personal no. is not coming in ALV grid table control

hi experts,
Search help (PREM) for personal no. is not coming in ALV grid table control.
i have assigned the srch help (prem) to my 'ZFIEXP_PROJALLOC' table for the emp_id.
but in output it is now showing the help.
ls_fcat-fieldname = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
ls_fcat-ref_table = 'ZFIEXP_PROJALLOC'.
ls_fcat-ref_field = 'EMP_ID'.
ls_fcat-outputlen = '10'.
ls_fcat-key = 'X'.
ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
ls_fcat-coltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
ls_fcat-seltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
append ls_fcat to pt_fieldcat.
clear ls_fcat.
Then i tried to solve it using the PA0002 . ie.,
ls_fcat-fieldname = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
ls_fcat-ref_table = 'PA0002'.
ls_fcat-ref_field = 'PERNR'.
ls_fcat-outputlen = '10'.
ls_fcat-key = 'X'.
ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
ls_fcat-coltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
ls_fcat-seltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
append ls_fcat to pt_fieldcat.
clear ls_fcat.
with this it is showing the help in employee code, but, when i click on an empl number, it is not added to my table control and allowing me to add the number by typing them.
plz help me.
thanks.

Hi
In the layout give layout-sel_mode = 'A'. and
pass 'A' to i_save exporting parameter to method set_table_for_first_display.
The same thing if you are working with function module

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.

Using Search Help with ALV and Dynamic context node

The topic subject already describes my situation.
I have to create, populate and remove context nodes at runtime, and bind them to an ALV, to let user display the data or modify the data. The nodes I create are always typed with a table name, but the table name is of course, dynamic.
This is all working: what's not working is help for entries inside the ALV; since the table has foreign keys and domains with check tables or fixed values, I expected that search helps were detected and managed by the framework.
Instead, no help search is displayed except the input help based on data-type of the one "Date" input fields.
I think I have to work on the dynamic node creation, and not on the ALV itself, since the latter only takes the node/attributes information, but i could be wrong. I tried with both the two following codings:
CALL METHOD lo_nd_info_root->add_new_child_node
    EXPORTING
      static_element_type          = vs_tabname
      name                         = 'SAMPLE_NODE_NAME'
*    is_mandatory                 = abap_false
*    is_mandatory_selection       = abap_false
     is_multiple                  = abap_true
     is_multiple_selection        = abap_false
*    is_singleton                 = abap_false
      is_initialize_lead_selection = abap_false
      is_static                    = abap_false
    RECEIVING
      child_node_info              = lo_nd_info_data .
cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>create_nodeinfo_from_struct(
      parent_info = lo_nd_info_root
      node_name = 'SAMPLE_NODE_NAME'
      structure_name = vs_tabname
      is_multiple = abap_true ).
The result is the same...is there any way to let the ALV know what search helps it has to use, and doesn't force me to manually build a VALUE_SET to be bound on the single attributes? There are many tables, with many fields, and maintaining this solution would be very costly.

I have checked with method GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUEHELP_TYPE of interface IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO, on an attribute which i know to have a search help (Foreign key of a check table).
The method returns 'N', that is the constant IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER~CO_VH_TYPE_NO_HELP. So, the framework was not able to find a suitable search help.
Using method GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_HELP of the same interface, on the same attribute, returns me '111', which is constant C_VALUE_HELP_MODE-AUTOMATIC.
Therefore, the WD framework knows it has to automatically detect a value help, but fails to find one.
Also, this means in my opinion that the ALV and the dynamic external mapping are not the culprits: since node creation, no help is detected for any attribute but the date. Honestly, I don't have a clue on what's happening.

Search help for date in ALV grid

I have ALV grid with field type date and search help for this:
ws_field-ref_table = 'ADCP'.
ws_field-ref_field = 'DATE_FROM'.
ws_field-inttype = 'D'
After I have clicked on this key F4 then I see a calendar and I have choosen some date, but in input grid field there aren't
choosen value. Why? Another search helps works perfect except this. Where is the problem?

Hi,
I want to activate the F4 help in ALV output for a field for which we do not have search help assigned at table ,data element and domain level.

Search Helps in ALV grids.

Hi,
I am working on ALV grids in custom control.
My requirement is to provide search helps in the ALV grid for few fields out of which the search help for one field should be populated dynamically.
Please help me.

hi
good
You can have almost everything you like in a search help. Nice search help examples are:
MPLAL (exit = F4_MATCHCODE_USER_EXIT) -> calls a selection report (transaction IP03)
HRBAS00OBJID (exit = RHF4_EXIT_OBJID) and include search helps

How to set column names in OVS search help of ALV EDIT

Hi All,
I have a OVS search help for my ALV EDIT column.This OVS will have two columns,I need to give the names(name1 , name2) to the columns.
I am writing the below codo in phase 0.
      ls_text-name = 'Column1'.
      ls_text-value = 'name1'.
      INSERT ls_text INTO TABLE lt_column_texts.
      ls_text-name = 'Column2'.

      INSERT ls_text INTO TABLE lt_column_texts.

But,the column names are not getting set.Please provide your inputs.

hi,
About your requirement, i don't know why you need to code in "Phase 3" of OVS.
"Phase 3" is used for transporting your selected value to Your ALV.
I think, the reason why you loose the result table including your customized column title, is that you loose the "Phase 2".
Generally, in the past i used OVS as the following code simply.Just one example:
* declare data structures for the fields to be displayed and
* for the table columns of the selection list, if necessary
types:
    begin of lty_stru_input,
*   add fields for the display of your search input here
      carrid type string,
      connid type string,
    end of lty_stru_input.
types:
    begin of lty_stru_list,
*   add fields for the selection list here
      carrid type string,
      connid type string,
      text   type string,
    end of lty_stru_list.
data: ls_search_input type lty_stru_input,
        lt_select_list   type standard table of lty_stru_list,
        ls_text          type wdr_name_value,
        lt_label_texts   type wdr_name_value_list,
        lt_column_texts type wdr_name_value_list,
case ovs_callback_object->phase_indicator.
    when if_wd_ovs=>co_phase_0. "configuration phase, may be omitted
*   in this phase you have the possibility to define the texts,

      ls_text-name = 'CARRID'. "must match a field name of search
      ls_text-value = 'Search Field-Carrid'.
      insert ls_text into table lt_label_texts.

                col_count    = 3
                row_count    = 8 ).
when if_wd_ovs=>co_phase_2.

Using ALV as a search Help

Has anyone used ALV as a search help presentation/selection method. I'm thinking, in a simplistic sense, it would be just creating an itab and presenting it on a grid in a container on a new screen called by an exit....
Probably too simple, huh?    Pointers to any snippets that implement this would be welcome.
(additionally, might have a need to save user layouts of this info as well)
Thoughts, comments, pitfalls.... ?
Thanks...
...Mike

Hey Michael a working example I just made for some1
thought u might be interested
Q. i_checkbox_fieldname = 'CHECKBOX'
A. If the table output in the popup has checkboxes at the beginning of the rows (e.g. for multiple selection), the internal table must contain a field containing the value of the checkbox.
Assign the name of this field to the parameter I_CHECKBOX_FIELDNAME.
Q. i_tabname = 'TLINE'
