Calling DDIC search help

Hello
Is it possible to call a DDIC search help within a WD application without binding it to an input field. We are looking for a way to call a search help on a button pressed event.
Regards, Mathias

Hi Mathias,
Using CL_WDR_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER=>HANDLE_VALUE_HELP is a very easy solution to this problem but, you are advised not follow this approach of using this class & method as they may be stopped at any time by SAP. All the classes which start with CL_WDR* are meant for internal use by SAP and are not meant for use by customers. We are supposed to use only classes which start with CL_WD*. Try go through this [thread |CALL SEARCH HELP IN WEB DYNPRO;which deals with the same same issue.
You can try resolve this problem by creating an [Freely Programmed Value Help|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/Freely%2bprogrammed%2binput%2bhelp] & when you press on the pushbutton you can call this search help. You can try go through this [thread |freely programed F4 help;where I have explained about how you can create an Freely Programmed value help.

Matchcode in OO (call the search help when the button is pressed )

Hi Guys,
I'm using the class cl_dd_document in order to fill a form that contains a input element (cl_dd_input_element) and a button element (cl_dd_button_element).
What I need to do now is to simulate (or build) a matchcode for the button.
For example, the input field is for entering the name of a table, and with the button i want to show all the tables that are elegibles for that field.
Any suggestion?
Regards,
Eric

Call elemetary search help dynamically

Hi,
I would like to call an elemetary search help at run time based on the contents of a screen field.
e.g. field 1 (case type: value 1/2/3/4)
field 2 (case number (get the case number from SH1/SH2/SH3/SH4 depending on value in field 1)
I tried using a serach help exit for this purpose, however there are too many problems. Is there a FM that I can use at on value-request to call the specific search help for field case number?
Examples would be appreciated.
Thx. LM

Hello Liza,
There are quite a few standard Function Modules which help you program your own F4 help in the POV event. You can look for FMs starting with F$IF. One of the most common ones, which might be applicable in your case is F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST. this Function Module has got elaborate documentation which must help you solve your problem without much difficulty.

Anand Mandalika.

Calling search helps dynamically in module pool program

Hi Experts,
I have created two search helps. I need to call these search helps in my module pool program dynamically for a single field (i.e ZMATNR).

But here... I need to call different search helps for a single field based on the condition.
Pls help me.
Thanks

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 function " F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST"
TABNAME           =

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.
