Custom Screen for Search Help

HI,
I have designed the Search Help in SE11.
Its working fine.
When executed, it pops up the screen for input search criteria.
My question is : is it possible to have this popup screen as our own customised screen.
Can we add some Heading and Subheadings to it?
If yes, please let me know how can we do this.
Thanks in advance.

Screen Painter - search help for field

Hello All,
I have some fields in a screen created with Screen Painter.
The filelds's types are standard system types like BU_PARTNER or other.
How do I have to define them so that in the screen to appear the match code?
Thank you very much,
Diana.

Hi Diana Cotelea,
You can use standard search help 'BUPA'.
Do as follows,
1. Goto 'Dict' tab of the property of BU_PARTNER field in your screen, in 'Search Help' property enter the search help name 'BUPA'.
2. Goto 'Program' tab, for 'Poss. Entries Key' property select 2 or 3 from its DropDowm List values.
Try this.

Getting values from screen to search help exit

Hi Experts,
I have created a search help in which I am not using selection method but search help exit. Dialog type is 'Dialog with value restriction'. My requirement is to get the values entered in restriction screen into search help exit. Please suggest a parameter which will hold this value in search help exit function module.

Hi M,
As you know there are 5 steps in search help exit. For each step, the values in parameter of your search help exit is different.
For your requirement, you need process in step 'DISP', and get the selection value from 'SHLP-SELOPT'.
Example:
*Build range for customer number
LOOP AT shlp-selopt INTO ls_selopt WHERE shlpfield = 'KUNNR'.
lr_kunnr-sign = ls_selopt-sign.
lr_kunnr-option = ls_selopt-option.
lr_kunnr-low = ls_selopt-low.
lr_kunnr-high = ls_selopt-high.
APPEND lr_kunnr.
CLEAR: lr_kunnr.
ENDLOOP.
Then using the lr_kunnr range in your select statement.

Archer

Field values are repeating for search help.

Hello Friends.
I have a problem. When I create a search help for a field the identical field values are repeating. What should I do to trigger only the first time.
for example:
Field-name- field-value
Supplier Nr --- Commodity
5001 -
 casting
5002 -
 casting
5003 -
 casting
So when I create the search help for commodity it is showing 'casting' 3 times in a pop-up window. It should not repeat. Can you please give me the solution what should I do?

Standard Search Help
The input help (F4 help) is a standard function of the R/3 System. It permits the user to display a list of possible values for a screen field. A value can be directly copied to an input field by list selection.
The fields having an input help are shown in the R/3 System by the input help key to the right of the field. This key appears as soon as the cursor is positioned on the corresponding screen field. The help can be started either by clicking on this screen element or with function key F4.
If the number of possible entries for a field is very large, you can limit the set of displayed values by entering further restrictions.
Further meaningful information about the displayed values is included in the display of possible entries, especially if the field requires that a formal key be entered.
TYPES OF SEARCH HELPS
Elementary search helps
Describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
Collective search help
Combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
Search Help Interface
Search help interface determines how the exchange of values between the screen template and the selection method is implemented.
The search help interface defines the context data that can be used in the input help and the data that can be returned to the input mask. Analogously to the interface of a function module, the search help interface comprises interface parameters.
When you define an interface parameter of a search help, you must also define whether it should be used to copy data to the input help (IMPORT parameter) or whether it should be used to return data from the input help (EXPORT parameter). A parameter of a search help can also have both attributes at the same time.
The location from which the IMPORT parameters of a search help get their values and the screen fields in which the contents of the EXPORT parameters of the search help are returned are defined in the search help attachment. The search help itself should always be attached to an EXPORT parameter of the search help. If this parameter is also the IMPORT parameter, its contents are only used in the input help if it is a search string (that is, if it contains a ´*´ or a ´+´).
You must define the parameter types of a search help. You can do this by assigning them data elements.
Value Transport for Input Helps
NOTE:In the above example, screen fields A, B and C are linked with parameters of the search help. As a result, values can only be transported between the screen and the search help for these three fields. Existing contents of screen fields A and B can be used for selecting the hit list since they are linked with an import parameter of the search help. The values of parameters A and C can be returned to the screen from the hit list since these parameters are declared as export parameters of the search help.
Description of dialog behavior
A hit list might contain plentiful number of entries. A
dialog provides the user with an option to restrict the
entries displayed on the hit list.
In an input help process, the set of possible entries is presented in the dialog box as a list for displaying the hit list. The user selects the required value from this list by double clicking. Since the possible entries are often formal keys, you must be able to display further explanatory information about the possible entries in the list.
If the set of possible entries is very large, the user should be able to define additional conditions for the attributes of the selected entry. Restricting the set of data in this way both increases the clarity of the list and reduces the system load. Additional conditions can be entered in a further dialog window, the dialog box for restricting values.
Specifying the dialog type of a search help defines whether the dialog box for restricting values should be offered and if so under what conditions.
The attributes in the dialog box for displaying the hit list or in the dialog box for restricting values must be defined as internal parameters of the search help. An internal parameter can also be used in only one of the two dialog boxes. It can also belong to the search help interface.
The internal parameter types are also defined with data elements. These data elements define how the parameters are displayed in the two dialog boxes.

Hi,
How to create a function Module for search help exits?
function module for search help F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
dynamic search help use 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
please check out the link below it will help you
A repository object maintained in the ABAP Dictionary. It supplies input fields on Dynpros with single- or multi-column input helps. Search helps can be linked in the Dictionary with components from structures, data elements, and check tables. A search help enables you to search for entry values with assigned data, without you having to know the exact spelling of the value.

Customer Include and search help for E-Recruiting

Hello All,
I've added a field to customer include field for table hrp5122. I want to add search help BUPA to that field. When I do that I get an error when the page is to be displayed.
I would like to use the search help instead of filling in the value table for the domain used for this field. Currently this is the only way, I know, how to make a customer include field appear with drop down list values on the web.
If you have been able to use a search help on a field that is displayed on the Web please respond with the steps on how to do it.
Thanks,
Alisa

Never mind. User error. My search help was not working properly.

'Screen Group' in Screen Painter, & 'Search help Exit'

Hii All,
1. What is 'Screen Group' in Screen Painter
attributes. In which Scenario we will go for it.
2. What is 'Search help Exit'.
Please post your messages and guide me in this topic,
Thanks & Regards,
John.

Hi John,
A Search help exit is something similar to a user exit. Every search help will have an option of attaching a search help exit under the definition tab( when you view the search help from se12).
For example take a look at the search help VMVA - you will notice a search help exit SD_F4_SHLP_EXIT_SUBSHLP_CHOOSE attached to it.
Basically the serah help exit which is nothing but a function module with a predefined interface which gets triggered before a f4 help is displayed. The exit is used to supress or do any other related modification required.
We have implemented many search help exits and the reason is that we have given a custom interface to our business partners to carry out some transaction on our SAP systems. Though we have given them access to our SAP system we also want to ensure that the business partner does not view any additional data in the system. We have controlled this via many ways like using z objects, using authorizations etc. Still once the user has authorizations to any transaction he or she can do a f4 help on any field and see the data which he should not be able to do. So we have implemented search help exits to supress the drop down only for the business partners. We control this based on the unique login id's we have given to them.
So in short it is used to modify the behaviour of F4 help, mostly used to supress the drop down.
It has to be defined in a specific format.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
VJ

Screen painter search help

Hi All,
I have created a custom search help and assigned it to a filed in the screen painter. This field provides me the F4 help, but when i manually enter some other data which is not present in search help it will accept it.
How to configure so that when we enter any data which is not present in search help it should throw an error.
Thanks,
Mars

Hi,
You created a Elementry search help and attached to a field in screen. Is it right then -
In PAI use chain ... endchain. Inside call a module in which, Select query from a table for a given input .
If it not get selected , use a error message 'E' which won't allow to proceed untill a value entered is correct.
If the field in not a manditory , check only if the field is not initial.

Help View for Search Help

Dear Experts,
I have successfully created a Help View (ZKEYHELP) using SE11 and activated it. Then when I try create a Search Help using SE11 again and specify the Selection Method as (ZKEYHELP) it prompts me an error when activating saying: "View ZKEYHELP is of type C and therefore not suitable as selection method".
The Delivery Class of the Help View ZKEYHELP I created is C - Customizing table, maintenance only by cust.
Is there any way to solve this problem. Thanks.
Best Regards.

*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
