Creating a tab in Search Help.

Hi everyone,
I have created a search help field for 'Vendor by category'.
How to create this tab/option screen for all search help when they are searching for Vendor number.
For example when i press the F4. An extra tab has to come for Vendors by Category with some input fields, like vendors by country/company code, vendors by personnel number.
Help me
Thanks,
Mohanraj

Hi,
You can get this tab by creating a elementary search help and attach it to the collective search helkp which is already used by your application
see the below links for creating search help exit

Tab in search help MM03 and VA03

Hi experts,
I added a new tab in matrn search help MAT1 (MM01/02/03) and it shows ok. But in VA01/02/03 item grid, the search help for matnr does not show the new tab.
VAs tcode use S_MAT1 search help, but MAT1 is in S_MAT1 as collective search help. Are there anythings to do?
How I add a new tab in VAs tcode search help in items grid for material???
Thanks in advance.

The item grid uses SD_MAT1 not S_MAT1 so there isn't a common collective search help where you can append your search help. Just append your search help to SD_MAT1 as well.

Searc help in entry help/Check tab vs Search help in Further Char-Data elem

Folks,
I have a screen field which is linked to a structure.When I look at that structure's entry help/check tab in se11 this field is having a collective search help.Now I want this to be replaced by a Z search help.
If my understanding is right I need access key for this structure so that I can link the z search help in entry help/check tab against this field.
My query is whic is the right way
1.Linking the z search help in the entry help/check tab against that field in the structure at SE11 level
or
Linking the Z search help in Further Characterisitics tab of the data element used by this field.
Either way the search help will be reflected at all the places wherever this field is available in the screen.Am I right ?
or
2. Linking the search help to a data element is different from linking the seach help to the field in that structure in entry help/check tab ? If they differ how do they differ.Kindly let me know
Thanks,
K.Kiran.

Not true.
Search help assigned at data element level is independent of that assigned at structure level, and the latter has higher priority. Please read "Input Help Hierarchy in the ABAP Dictionary":
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/9f/dbaa5435c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
The structure level assignment can (and generally is) linked to more than one field, not only the one that triggers the search help. That depends on the search help importing and exporting parameters. The data element assignment can only affect the field in which it is used.
Nevertheless, even the search help defined at structure level could be overriden in the program (e.g. PARAMETERS...MATCHCODE OBJECT, AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST, PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST, etc). If that is not your case, it's the structure assignment that you want to change (have into account that it will affect any other dynpros which use that structure).

Function to create Input Dialog for Search Help

Hi Folks,
Is there any function to create the dialog to limit the search help result as the one that appears when you create the Search Help through the SE11.
This is because when I use F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST I'm just being able to set one value to restrict and hopefully the functionality of intervales, exclusions, etc that the search help dialog when created through the se11 does have and haven't found it on F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.
If you can share a little example I really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
You can accomplish by using search help exits..... search the forum by "Search help exit" and check my wiki on search help exit code.

Problem creating a hybrid collective search help for werks,bukrs and ekorg

Hi All,
I have to create a collective search help for Org_key field of a custom table.
This org_key field is a char4 field and can hold the value for plant , bukrs and ekorg.
I need to create a collective search help which includes
C_T001                          Collective Search Help for BUKRS (Company Code)
H_T001W_NEW     Possible Entries for Plants
H_T024E                         Input Help for Purchasing Organization
I have added org_key field in the field description , how can i do the parameter assigment ( or declare the field description ) so that if the user press F4 for org_key field ,he is able to see all the search paths corresponding to C_T001,H_T001W_NEW, and H_T024E simultaneously, and corresponding to value chosen ( for plant , werks or ekorg ) the value is passed back to the org_key field.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Anurag

Problem resolved. You can hard code values, like the domain name within the search help.
Although I have found that if you don't use a search help and you have domain values then your drop-down list values will be automatically populated from the domain values for the field. At least in my dynpro it does.

Doubt on creating Search help.

Hi Friends,
I have created a table . I am using the SAPGUI version 4.6. In that i am not having a tab called Search Help as we used to have in Higher version.I have created a Search help using the Search help radio button in SE11 start screen.
I am not able to assign the search help created to the respective field in the table.
is there any ways how to assign the search help we have created to the respective field.
please help me in solving this issue.
Thanks,
Gokul

HI Gokul,
If you have created search help then it's very easy to assign that Search help to database table field.
Go To sell.
Enter your table name,
Click on Change,
Select the field for which you want to assign search help,
Then Click on Search Help Button.
Enter you search help name and its done....
If you feel this information was useful.

Search Help of compounded char in Screen Painter

Hi,
I have attached the standard search help /BI0/OGL_ACCOUNT to the G/L account input/output field in screen painter. While executing when I press F4 it gives the pop up message showing chart of accounts (Compounded) and G/L account characteristic values. But when I select single line it shows chart of accounts in the input/output field instead of G/L account. Could you please tell me why is it so and how can it be corrected if I want G/L account values in the input/output field.
Thanks,

how to change the search help of the WBS field VBAP-PS_PSP_PNR in the over screen tab.
Unfortunatly there is no search help for PS_PSP_PNR in VBAP.
I guess you need to create one elementry Z search help and finally tab it to PS_PSP_PNR in VBAP by just enhacing the VBAP.
PS:But you need access key for same.

About search helps

Hi,
Can anybody please explain to me about search helps in details;i.e,both elementary and collective;with an example each??
Thanks in advance.
sumita

Hi Sumita,
Check this info.
Creating Elementary Search Helps
Procedure
In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
Select Elementary search help and choose .
The maintenance screen for elementary search helps appears.
Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
In the Definition tab page enter the selection method of the search help.
You can enter the name of a table or a view (database view, projection view or help view) here. If you enter a table that has a text table, the name of the text table is automatically entered in the corresponding field.
Using the input help (F4 help), select fields of the selection method as parameter in the Search help parameter area. Select the fields that should be used in the dialog box for value selection or in the hit list.
If the selection method is a table that has a text table, both the fields of the table and the fields of the text table are offered in the input help.
The data element of the parameter is automatically copied from the selection method. The data element defines the output attributes and the F1 help of the parameter in the hit list and in the dialog box for value selection.
You can assign the parameter another data element. To do so, select the Mod flag. The Data element field is now ready for input. Then select a data element with the input help (F4 help). Only data elements whose data type, length and number of decimal places is the same as those of the previous data element can be assigned.
This removes the link between the data element of the search help parameter and the data element of the selection method field having the same name. If you cancel the Mod flag, the data element of the assigned table field is used again.
Define the attributes of the search help parameters.
Select the IMP flag if it is an import parameter. Select the EXP flag if it is an export parameter.
You can define the dialog for the input help with the fields LPos, SPos and SDis. Enter the parameter position in the hit list in LPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the hit list.
Enter the parameter position in the dialog box for value selection in SPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the dialog box for value selection.
Set the SDis flag if the parameter should be a pure display field in the dialog box for value selection. The user is thus informed that the contents of the parameter restrict the value, but he cannot change this restriction. This makes sense for example when the parameter is an import parameter or if it has a default value.
You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
Select the dialog type of the search help.
The dialog type defines how the hit list is displayed in the input help.
Save your entries.
A dialog box appears in which you have to assign the search help a development class.
Choose .
Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.
Result
The search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred during activation, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Other Options
Assign a hot key: If the search help is to be accessed with a hot key, you must enter a one-place ID in the Hot key field. All the elementary search helps contained in a collective search help should have different short cuts.
Assign a search help exit: In exceptions, you might have to change the standard flow defined by the search help with a search help exit. In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
Test the search help: You can test the flow of an input help defined by the elementary search help with . A dialog box appears in which you can simulate the behavior of the search help under different conditions. You can obtain information about the options provided in this window with.
Creating Collective Search Helps
Procedure
In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
Select Collective search help and choose .
The maintenance screen for collective search helps is displayed.
Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
In the Definition tab page enter the parameters of the collective search help.
Select the Imp flag if it is an import parameter. Select the Exp flag if it is an export parameter.
Define the types for the parameters of a collective search help by assigning a data element. Enter the name of the data element that describes the contents of the search help parameter in the Data element field.
You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
In exceptions it could be necessary to change the standard process defined by the search help. You can implement the deviation from the standard using a search help exit.
In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
On the Included search helps tab page, define the search helps that you want to include in the collective search help.
You can include elementary search helps and collective search helps.
Use the Hide flag to control whether an included search help should appear in the dialog box for selecting the elementary search help. If the flag is set, the search help is not offered.
It makes sense to hide search help inclusions if one or more search paths in the standard system should not be used in a concrete R/3 System. Similarly, search help inclusions can also be already hidden in the standard system because they only can be used meaningfully in a few R/3 Systems. You have to cancel the flag in this case.
Position the cursor one after the other on each allocated search help and choose Parameter assignment.
In the next screen, enter the parameter names of the elementary search helps to which the corresponding parameters of the collective search help should be assigned in the field Reference parameter.
You can select the parameters contained in the included search help using the input help. Create a proposal for the assignment with Proposal.
Save your entries.
A dialog box appears in which you have to assign a development class to the search help.
Choose .
Result
The collective search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred when the collective search help was activated, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.
Other Options
You can test the flow of an input help defined by the collective search help with . A dialog box appears in which you can simulate the behavior of the search help under different conditions. You can obtain information about the options provided in this window with .
First create ELEMENTARY SEARCHHELP YSEARCH32 in R/3 Data dictionary
Create one more elementary search help YSEARCH33
Now define collective search help for the above 2 elementary search helps. In definition part include the search help parameters which you want to display in the search help.
Enter the included search helps i.e YSEARCH32,YSEARCH33.
Press the Parameter Assignment for search help BUTTON.You have to assign one parameter with the parameters in the definition part
Same case with the YSEARCH33.
Activate the collective search help.
Apply this search help in the program and if F4 button is pressed the collection of elementary search helps are displayed.
Creating dynamic search help means the f4 help will come on the context bases.
that will achieved with two function modules.
1. F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST Display internal table as search help (documented in SAP)
2.F4IF_*_VALUE_REQUEST
u will provide the search help on the field dynamically depending on program context.

Search Help for KUNNR, depending on a certain BUKRS

Hy gurus,
I have the following selection-screen
PARAMETERS : p_bukrs LIKE bsid-bukrs OBLIGATORY.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_kunnr FOR bsid-kunnr.
I'd like to make the search help of KUNNR dependable on the
input of p_bukrs.
I don't want to create any self/made search help ,I need to use the standard one.
F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST doesn't seem to be proper to my purpose...
Thanx

Search help at a structure field does not appear

Hi there,
i have created a customer own search help and for a first try i have assigned it to a screen field. This worked propperly but i receive values for three fields (document number, company code and fiscal year) from that search help - what has been succesfully testet in SE11 and worked ok.
To assign all exporting fields to my screen I deleted the search help at the screen field and I created a copy of RF05L structure and assigned my search help to the document number there. My screen fields belong now to a structure and the type of that structure is my version of RF05L, at first with type, later changed to like.
So my screen field must have the search help from that structure, but it has no search help at all.
After some trials I deleted my field from the screen and added it again based on my structure and changed the name to my internal structure name for the document field. This was the only trial where the search help appeared afterwards but as I did the same to the two other fields it disappeared again and I could not make it visible until now.
What shall I do?
Thank you in advance for any hints.

Hi Axel,
When you are adding the screen fields - are you sourcing them from the Program OR Data dictionary.
You should source it from the Data Dictionary and ensure the screen fields attribute "From Dict." checkbox is marked in the "Dict" tab.
Hope this helps.

Aditya

SEARCH HELP FOR SELECT PTIONS IN REPORTS

hI,
I HAVE ONE SELECT-OPTION FOR ZTSH-TSMONTH. HOW CAN I SET SEARCH HELP FOR THAT
SHYJA

Hi Sihya,
You can create search help in 2 ways:::
1) Goto SE11 and create search help with any name ZSRCHELP.
For reference u can see some standard search help like H_T530E for field PREAS in table PA0002.
Now go to SE11 in table ZTSH, u can find the tab for search help, select your field TSMONTH, and click on search help tab and give the name of search help u created.
Now activate it.
Now u goto ur report u will find search help will be shown for that parameter.
2)See the report below
