Assign Search Help to Table

Hi All,
I have created a custom check table which also has a text tables assigned to it. I have created a Elementary Search help for the check table and the selection method for the search help is the check table itself.
The issue is when I goto the check table using SE11, I click on Extras --> Search Help for Table, it does not display the search help that I had created however the search help is displayed for a similar customizing table created by SAP, TVK8.
I think I need to assign the search help to the custom table that I have created. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can tell me as to how I can assign the search help to the check table.
Thanks,
Vamseedhar K

Also check the steps to create search help.
This is how u can create "Search Help" for the fields of the ztables that u have created.
SE11- Create Search Help for 1 field, "Selection Method" box put the Table name to which the field belongs to. "Dialog Type" box write: "Display Value Immediately".
Search Help Parameter is the Field name for which u want the Help. Tick Imp & Exp options and assign LPOS = 1 and Enter. , save and Activate.
SE11- Go to the table , Click on the Field that needs to be assigned a search Help....Click at the left side of the Field so that all the corresponding data Elements, Key field etc also gets selected.
Click on the "Search Help tab" just above the "Data Type " column.
Put the "Search Help" name that u just created. Mention the Field and Enter. it takes up the required values. Now Copy.
U can repeat the process for whatever fields u want to assign a Search Help.
se51- Go to Screen Painter, Select Fields from Dictionary table to which u want search help to be assigned.
Double click on the Text box of the corresponding field,......> Screen Painter Attributes.......> Search help Text box.........> Enter the name of the Search help that u created for a field.
Ok....>Save.........> Activate
Now u should be able to get the Search help for the fields that u wanted to.

Assign search help for a screen field in standard program?

Hi All,
Is there any other way to assign search help to a standard SAP screen field? (to be precise i want to assign search help to Recipient field in table control of components tab in transaction IW32/IW31)
I know we can do this by assigning search help through screen painter (by changing standard program, which is my last option).
Any advice/help will be greatly appreciated.

while executing this search help in se11 it gives proper output.
but while assigning this search help in report program it only fetch one carried.

PARAMETER : p_carrid TYPE scarr-carrid
                           MATCHCODE OBJECT z01_carrid,
with all three field but it fetch only carrid ...

Hi Chintan,
For such types of requirements you can use this Function Module:
F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.
Use this functiom modue under AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON HELP-REQUEST FOR P_CARRID.
With this function module, you can fill your remainng parameters : P_carriername and booking also.
Sample Code:
     DATA : TMP_RETURN_TAB LIKE TABLE OF DDSHRETVAL,                                TMP_RETURN      LIKE DDSHRETVAL,
                TMP_FIELD       TYPE DFIES-FIELDNAME.
CASE AKIND.
   WHEN '1'.
     TMP_FIELD = 'AENNR'.
   WHEN '2'.
     TMP_FIELD = 'VBELN'.
   WHEN '3'.
     TMP_FIELD = 'ZZTEHAI'.
ENDCASE.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
   EXPORTING
     RETFIELD               = TMP_FIELD
     WINDOW_TITLE           = ATITEL
     VALUE_ORG              = 'S'
   TABLES
     VALUE_TAB              = ATABLES
     RETURN_TAB             = TMP_RETURN_TAB
   EXCEPTIONS
     PARAMETER_ERROR        = 1
     NO_VALUES_FOUND        = 2
     OTHERS                 = 3.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    READ TABLE TMP_RETURN_TAB INDEX 1 INTO TMP_RETUN.
    AVALUE = TMP_RETURN-FIELDVAL.
ENDIF.
Jus analyze this code, you can get ur requirement done.

Search Help on Table Control - Fill more than one field in the table?

Hey everyone,
I have built a screen with a Table Control on it... the fields of the table control are linked to an internal table... The internal table has the line type of a structure I've defined in the data dictionary. Within that structure in the data dictionary, I've linked some fields to search helps (For example, a MATNR and CUSTOMER search help)... I've defined in the structure definition which fields from the search help are to be returned to which fields in the structure.
The problem is, even though I have the search help set to export both the customer number and location when using the search help on the customer field, it still does not fill the location field within the table. Is this a limitation of using search helps within table controls?
I'm also finding that by defining the search help through the structure, instead of directly within the screen, the search help round button does not show up on the field, yet I can still press F4 to bring up the search help. Is there a reason why it's not showing the search help clickable button even though it works fine using F4?
For doing search helps in Table Controls, is it better to just build the search help, attach it directly to the field in the table, and then after the user picks the single field, use the PAI to run a select and fill the rest of the fields required?
Thanks,
Dallas

Hi Dallas,
(1)
What i understood is that you added a search help by defining it in the internal table type for a field customer number..in the search help you have 2 fields customer number and location...user press the search help ..then you need to fill 2 different fields or 1 field?
if you need to fill the customer location or location (only one) then you need to set the "import" in the search help for whichever is required.....
if you need to fill 2 or more different fields..then you can use the technique you have mentioned last , to do a select in PAI and fill the fields....but this you can use if the combination for the fields is unique...eg: u have customer number and location..if customer X can be mapped to location X and location Y..when a select statement is done there are 2 options..so in such cases it is better to leave the option to the user otherwise if there is a clear mapping like customer X can be mapped only to location X then you can use the select..
(2)
usually when you define it as a type in the internal table the icon doesn't show up..but you can do alternative like mentioned..go to the table,find the search help for the required field if present or create a new one if required and place the search help mentioned in the screen itself..so as to see the icon...sometimes users are adamant that they need the search help icon to be seen..so it depends on if your user
(3)
as in the example of customer number and location mentioned we can provide them different search helps and do the needful processing in PAI to fill the fields
Table controls may be used for different purposes and requirements....even a checkbox,push button can be placed as a field in table control and used,but yes most of the time requirements are like what is mentioned in your case...

Search help for table control input value

Hi,
We have designed a GUI for supply invoice approval workflow with table control.
In the table control fields, we assigned one search help on one field.
We can enter the values(F4 Help) up 8 row in the default screen, which is having 8 row.
After scrolling down for 9th row, I am not getting any F4 help, which I am able to get upto 8 rows.
Please any one could help me in this...
BR,
Thirupathi

Hi,
Did you assign the search help to the Search Help of the Attributes -> Dictionary tab of the field?
Irrespective of scrolling, the F4 help should work for the field in table control.

Hi Sahir,
Creating dynamic search help means the f4 help will come on the context bases.
that will achieved with function module

How to assign search help for custom cost centre field in SRM 7.0

Hi Experts!!
We are currently working in SRM 7.0.As per our business requirement, in account assignment tab we need to use a custom
cost centre field (ZCOST_CENTRE) instead of standard cost centre field.It is observed that for standard cost centre field there is a standard web-dynpro search-help assigned where it will return the F4 search help values from backend.
Can any one of you please help me how can I assign the search-help for the custom cost centre field. Is there any FM to call the backend cost centre search help for custom field or any other way how can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kalyani

kalyani,
i can see your requirement in below way..
as it just reads: you need to assign the standard cost center help to a z cost center field in component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC.. which actually is fetched though the component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
so, if you see the component controller of SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC you will see the component
USAGE_SH_F4 /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
USAGE_SH_F4 /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH INTERFACECONTROLLER
so you can replicate the same functionality for your z field.
but can you clarify one thing.. why are you going for this z field in place of standard field ?

Search Help Exit : Table appears sorted in Search Help!

Hi All,
I have implemented a search help exit to show a custom list of objects. Unfortunately, the list gets sorted somewhere in between the search help exit and the actual F4 display.
Any ideas what I can do tp prevent the sorting? It's very important that the output list displays in exact order that I have in the exit function module.
Thanks!
Roman D.

while passing the changing parameter CALLCONTROL
chk while populating the table make sure that
