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.

Search help in table control using attributes window in layout

Hi.
I am trying to use search help for my table control fields. the table control basically displays product details.
I have a name field, description field and price field. I have named my field to match the the structure of my search help (stProducts-name, stProducts-description and stProducts-price respectfully). then for each i entered shProducts (my search help) in the search help field.
However, upon running the program, in the name, description and price field, by clicking f4 the name of the product is displayed in the field irrespective to which column I am selecting. Also the values in the other fields are not affected.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

Search help on table control field which imports info from same record

Hi Team ABAP,
i got a slight problem here and kinda dont know how to proceed.
I got a DDIC structure containing fields KSCHL and NACHA.
Additionally i got a customizing table based on kschl, where allowed NACHA´s per KSCHL get customized.
Now i got a table control, containing records of type of above described structure.
I created a search help for Field NACHA which actually uses KSCHL as importing since we just want to see those NACHA´s allowed for the given KSCHL.
Search help itself works fine. I got problems in how to tell it which kschl to import.
I have coded an routine in event PROCESSES ON VALUE REQUEST.
There i could do DYNP_VALUES_READ or get my data right out of the itab on which the table control is based. i just got the problem that i dont have a clue how identify which search help of which table control line got clicked.
having a first look i dont see any of SY fields changing using different lines. So i´m stuck. any Ideas?
regards

Use FM [DYNP_GET_STEPL|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=dynp_get_stepl] "Current sy-stepl at Event POV", then use the returned povstepl value in DYNP_VALUES_READ (and DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE if required)

How to attach search help in field BEDNR in table EKPO

Hello, Experts!!!
I have a problem in attaching Search Help in field BEDNR in table EKPO.
Can anyone share something about this.. I've been dwelling on this for some time now,
but still wasn't able to find a solution.
Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!!!
Ellainne22

Hi,
I don't think you can directly link any search help with BEDNR without modification. If a search help was already linked, we could have gone for append search help. But in this case, nothing is there. So the options would be,
see whether you can insert any search help through enhancements in the screens..You have to do it in every screen then.
Other option is create a database view, & replace the dataelement with your own with a search help. You can refer this view after that.
or go for modification & change the dataelement.

Attaching Search helps dynamically to an attribute

Hi ,
I have a requirement where I would like to attach search help to an attribute dynamically in WD ABAP .
Is it possible to attach a search help with respect to some condition dynamically at runtime .
Best Regards
Sid

Hi Thomas,
My scenario is as follows:
I have a table control with around 5 columns. The first column has a F4, based on the value selected there the F4 attached to the second column needs to change dynamically. Eg: Initially the F4 attached initially is /kyk/h_ctr and then it should get changed to /kyk/h_order.
These columns are mapped to Component Controller attributes.
Based on your reply yesterday I implemented the same in one of my view methods. The value does get changed but it doesn't reflect in the front-end, it still shows the initially attached F4 instead of the new one. What else do I need to do?

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,

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.

Hi how to attach search help to a field

hi all,
how to attach search help to a field.

hi
Attaching a search help to a field
A search help can influence the behavior of a field when the input help is called. The search help must be assigned to the field in order to do this. You have the following options for this assignment:
Attach search help to a data element / table or structure field / screen field / check table.
Conventionally search helps are attached to table fields or data elements. We shall see the same.
Attaching a search help to a table field
Choose the field name, click on search help tab and
provide the name of the search help.
A search help is attached to a field of a table or structure in the maintenance transaction for this table/structure, analogously to attaching to a table. You must assign the interface parameters of the search help to any fields of the table/structure. The search field must be assigned to an EXPORT parameter of the search help at this time.
Attach the search help to the table field
The search help ZSTRAVELAG_NAME is therefore directly attached to the field AGENCYNUM of table ZSTRAVELAG.
Attaching a search help to a data element
Provide the search help name and the parameter name
under the further characteristics tab of the data element.
If the input help of a field is defined by its data element, no further screen fields can be used in the input help.
Also note that the input F4 help would be available wherever the data element is used.
Attaching a search help to a screen element
A search help can be directly assigned to a screen field in two ways.
The name of the search help must be entered in the Screen Painter in the Attributes for the field in the field Search help.
The name of the search help can be defined for selection screens in ABAP reports in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement directly following the supplement MATCHCODE OBJECT.
However, input help is only available for this particular screen.
In this case, the search help is only available for this screen.
IF YOU WANT TO ATTCH A SERACH HELP TO THE SCREEN FILED THIS IS THE CODE
