Calling search help in SRM system

Hello all!
I have a problem with using the functional module F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST in SRM system. I need to call search help by this function module and retrieve output parameter. If Ive connected by SAP GUI all works splendid, but in HTML environment a behavior of this FM is very strange. In the HTML connection after Ive select the subordinate search help for selection criteria field search help becomes disappeared and main screen becomes shown as modal (sic!) window.
Does anybody know how to avoid this?
This is piece of code with FM call
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      tabname           = 'ZSRM_002_SCR_REQITEM'
      fieldname         = 'PRDID'
      searchhelp        = 'COM_PR_COLLECTION'
      shlpparam         = 'PRODUCT_GUID'
      dynpprog          = 'SAPLZSRM_PP_SELECT_SCREENS'
      dynpnr            = '9003'
      dynprofield       = 'ZSRM_002_SCR_REQITEM-PRDID'
    TABLES
      return_tab        = lt_return
    EXCEPTIONS
      field_not_found   = 1
      no_help_for_field = 2
      inconsistent_help = 3
      no_values_found   = 4
      OTHERS            = 5.
Best regards and thanks in advance.

Is my explanation not clear or nobody knows how to win this problem?

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).
you might be known... if it is a single search help, we can assign that in field attributes.
But here... I need to call different search helps for a single field based on the condition.
Pls help me.
Thanks
Raghu

Hi,
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           =
FIELDNAME        =
SEARCHHELP     = "Mention search help created
Elseif Conditon =B.
call function " F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST"
TABNAME           =
FIELDNAME        =
SEARCHHELP     = "Mention search help created
Endif.

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.

CALL SEARCH HELP IN WEB DYNPRO

Description :
My web dynpro contains some buttons and allow some interaction...
One of the buttons is : 'LOAD DATA'...
I'd like to call a search help when the user PRESSES this button, how can i do that ? maybe a reusable component ???
Thank you...

Hi Stephan,
Well there is a way by which you can achieve this functionality... You need to call the static method HANDLE_VALUE_HELP of class CL_WDR_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER. To use it we simply need to pass in a reference to the context element, and the name of an attribute. It will then run the value help defined in the context for that attribute.
However being SAP internal, the method could change or disappear at any time. So this isn't a reliable approach. You would be better off following the approach suggested by the other users. I am however just quoting it for your inspection.
Suppose I have a context node by name NODE1 & an attribute MATNR under it of type MARA-MATNR. Now up on click on a button I want the search help MAT1 for MATNR to be displayed. Below is the coding for the buttons action handler:
method ONACTIONCALL_VALUE_HELP .
data: wd_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        wd_element type ref to if_wD_context_element.
wd_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE1' ).
wd_element = wd_node->get_element( index = 1 ).
CALL METHOD CL_WDR_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER=>HANDLE_VALUE_HELP
    EXPORTING
      CONTEXT_ELEMENT   = wd_element
      CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE = 'MATNR'.
endmethod.

Hi,
Is there any search help to get a list of program names. That can be used in the BADI's.
Or else atleast provide me some steps for creating a search help using search help exit.

Here is how to create search helps..
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/dictionary/shelp/shelphome.htm
you can create new search help for displaying program names.. it is easy...

Calling search Help with parameter/

I have selection-screen as follows
PARAMETERS : p_bukrs1 TYPE bukrs ,
p_kostl1 TYPE kostl .
PARAMETERS : p_bukrs2 TYPE bukrs ,
p_kostl2 TYPE kostl .
Req: When user press F4 on P_KOSTL1, it should display cost centers only for company code value entered in P_BUKRS1, similarly for P_KOSTL2 it should display cost centers for comapny code entered in P_BUKRS2.
I know I can select records on AT SELECTION-SCREEN .. ON VALUE-REQUEST for respective fields and display in F4 with some FM .
Is there any method by which I can call the search help specifying the company code as parameter?

by using FM DYNP_VALUES_READ u can get the values of BUKRS.
based on the values of BUKRS get values of Cost Centres from DB tables into Internal tables
F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST by using this u can display.

I m new to BADI'S.I got a requirement to get a sub-screen to the standard transaction MFBF.The subscreen will be having 2 fields personnel number and personnel name. For this the functional guy told me to activate the badi rm_hr_integration to get the sub-screen.If the badi is activated he said we get the above mentioned 2 fields as columns in the table control in the selection screen of transaction MF42N. What should i do to activate the badi?If i activate the badi will i get the require sub screen?Do i need to write any additonal code?
Please anyone suggest me the soln with some procedural steps.sloutions will be rewarded with points.
Thanks,

Hi Nagaraj,

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.

Search help results of cost center

Hi everybody
Cost center is normally assigned to SC item based on the attribute set in PPOMA_BBP (attribute CNT). Now, when you're in the item details screen and want to change that default cost center you can search for other ones using the "glasses icon". This starts some kind of a F4 search help screen and returns a list of all available cost centers existing in the backend system.
Our SRM users are NOT created in the backend system, therefore we're not able to control cost center authorizations via backend user authorizations.
So the problem we have is, that in the result screen we get by far too much cost centers from which the enduser can make his choice. We'd like to reduce this result list to only the cost centers assigned via CNT attribute on org. unit level in PPOMA_BBP.
I already looked at BAdIs BBP_F4_READ_ON_ENTRY and BBP_F4_READ_ON_EXIT (method GET_COSTCENT) and to verify if they could do what I wanted simply tried to delete all entries from table ET_COSTCENT_LIST and ET_COSTCENT_FAVOURITES... no changes, the result list still contains a complete overview of all our backend cost centers.
To all SRM gurus out there: how is it possible to restrict the result list of cost center search help?
Thanks again anyone for some help.
Kind regards,
Renaud

Hi Case,
We can get this functionality with out changing any standard program.
Herewith I am sending details.
1.     Implement the badi using definition BBP_DRIVER_DETERMINE and write below mentioned code in method DETERMINE_DRIVER.
        IF functionname = 'B470_SHLP_CALL' AND sy-tcode NE 'PPOMA_BBP'.
functionname = 'ZB470_SHLP_CALL'.
        ENDIF.
2.     Copy the standard FM B470_SHLP_CALL to ZB470_SHLP_CALL then make
       the changes in ZB470_SHLP_CALL.
       Here you have to make two changes.
a.     Clear the destination name (LV_DESTINATION) for calling search help
                        from SRM
b.     Give your own search help name (ZCOST_CENTER we need to create this search help in SRM )
       Now it will call the search help ZCOST_CENTER from SRM only
               Sample code
          CASE shlp_field.
        WHEN gc_g_l_acct.
      lv_shlpname = 'SAKO'.
       lv_shlpparam = 'SAKNR'.
        WHEN gc_cost_ctr.
      lv_shlpname = 'ZCOST_CENTER'.
      lv_shlpparam = 'KOSTL'.
      CLEAR lv_destination.
3.      Create you won search help (ZCOST_CENTER) in SRM and write code in search help exit for getting the cost centers from user attributes. For reading the cost centers from user attributed you can use the FM BBP_READ_ATTRIBUTES (pass the CNT as attribute ID)

Padmaraju

Do we have search help facility in variable selection (F4 help).

Hi All,
At my client place users are comfort with R/3 search help (F4), and looking for the same feature in Bex Reporting. Is it possible to have the same kind of feature in Bex reports.
Example.
In R/3 T-Code MB5B, user searches with material description or with some other options like sales material by general product hierarchy. Can we get the same kind of feature.
And my client says that if we drop down for material it is taking huge amount of time to display the material numbers and description, we want to know how to reduce the time for displaying the material or customer master data text in variable selections.
In Bex we are aware of material text is going to display as small or medium or long descriptions, when we drop down.
Your suggestions are most valuable to us.
Thanks in Advance.

Goto se11
in data type : put KIDNO change mode   ... avoid the messges ....
there in theDefinition   : put your new Search Help   activate it ....
so that   it will be attached..
otherwise there so many ways of attaching the serach help   for F4 ..
Implementing search Helps
Search helps can be implemented in a variety of ways:
1 .Add to Table field Added via SE11: Place cursor on desired field within database and select menu path Goto->Search help->for field
Effect: If field used to create screen field, search help will be called when user executes F4/drop down input help. All fields on screen will be populated if appropriate fields exist in search help and screen.
2.Add to Table Added via SE11: Place cursor on desired field within database and select menu path Goto->Search help->for table
3.Add to Data element Added via SE11: Select desired data element (double click), enter search help name and parameters in appropriate fields on screen. Will be applied to all fields associated with that data element
4.Add to Screen field Added via screen painter: One of field attributes is search help. Will only populate the one screen field.
5.Add to Sel. screen parameter (MATCHCODE) Added using 'matchcode' addition for parameters declaration: Search help name must be no more than 5 characters long.
e.g. PARAMETER p_prog LIKE trdir-name MATCHCODE OBJECT zsh.
Rewatrd points if it is usefull ...

Account assignment search help in SC.

So the question is how to create F4-search based on Z-table. Can BADI BBP_F4_READ_ON_ENTRY help me to resolve this issue? It seems like this BADI does not work in SC transaction.
Is it possible to show WBS-element description on account assignment overview screen?
Thanks,
Alexander
