Search Help not getting displayed

Hi ,
I have included my own Search Help ZSH to Standard Search Help MAT1 which is related to field MATNR , in the following path..
In MAT1->MAT1_A, I have INCLUDED my Search Help.
I have tested it in SE11, it's working fine.
But, in VA01 screen when I press F4 on the MATNR field only 9 Search Helps are displayed, and my Z-Search Help is not getting displayed.
What additional settings should I do for the display of my Z-Search Help?
Thanks in advance,
Shivaa...

hii naveen,
YOu have to make use of the function modules:
DYNP_VALUES_READ Read screen field values before PAI field transport
DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE Change screen field contents w/o PBO
Each of which is very well documented
or
trigger the drop-down in POV.
PROCESS PAI.
FIELD <FIELD>.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD FIELD MODULE F4HELP_FOR_FIELD.
MODULE F4HELP_FOR_FIELD.
> Call search help: see the fm VRM_* to manage dropdown list
DATA: DYNAME LIKE D020S-PROG,
DYNUMB LIKE D020S-DNUM.
DATA DYNPFIELDS LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF DYNPREAD WITH HEADER LINE.
DYNPFIELDS-FIELDNAME = <other field name>.
DYNPFIELDS-FIELDVALUE = <value>.
APPEND DYNPFIELDS.
CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
EXPORTING
DYNAME = DYNAME
DYNUMB = DYNUMB

F4 functionality not available for a Search help field

Dear All,
I have created one search help ZMVGR1 containing :
1) MATNR
2) VKORG
3) VTWEG
4) MVGR1
Selection Method: MVKE
Dialog type: Display value with restriction.
Field               iMPORT   EXPORT    LPOS   SPOS
MATNR                               X             4
VKORG              X              X             1            1
VTWEG              X              X             2            2
MVGR1              X              X             3            3
First I will put VKORG, VTWEG and MVGR1 on screen and then fetch all the fields based on the selection criteria. The problem is on the screen, F4 help for MVGR1 is not coming, for VKORG and VTWEG it is showing. Also while testing in SE11, after filling i parameters when I am pressing F4 help on any other field., F4 on MVGR1 is coming but F4 on field for which I pressed does not come. At a time out of 3 only two F4 comes. Can anybody tell me how to resolve it. Is it a standard SAP functionality or is there any way to bypass it. I need F4 for all the fields in import parameters, so that all the values gets displayed in export parameters in list. Also note that dialog type is display value with restriction , not display value immediately.
Regards
Debopriyo

Solved. I added one search help exit and inserted the following code after that F4 for all the field are coming in the dialog screen.
field-symbols: <shlp1> type SHLP_DESCR,
               <shlp2> type ddshiface.
IF CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'PRESEL'.
ASSIGN SHLP TO <SHLP1> .
READ TABLE <SHLP1>-INTERFACE assigning <shlp2> with key f4field = 'X'.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    <shlp2>-f4field = ' '.
endif.
ENDIF.

Hide search help fields in webdynpro

Hi,
I have a requirement to hide the search help input fields for a webdynpro field. As it is standard search help, I can't change the search help. What is the best way to hide them ?

Hi,
You can deactivate it at context attribute level by selecting DEACTIVATED or if it is a standard component you can enhance the view to create a post exit for WDDOMODIFYVIEW and hide the search help for that NODE.
Thanks,
Anubhav

Search help Field positions

Hi,
Is it possible to change the field positions in the Hit List of a standard search help without using the access key?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Binu

Hi Binju,
I am not sure whether this will be listed in SPAU during upgrade.
Yes, you didnt require access key to change field positions, add/delete search help parameters which are available in selection method i.e database/view fields for search help.
This change effect the search help assigned to data eleements and tables assigned in SAP, so be caution before doing the change. If your change is specific to a particular instance then go for append search help. Copy the search help and provide this search help as new tab to your standard search help.
Thanks,
Vinay

Search Help Field

Hi,
I have included a parameter(CHAR 50), say field X in a search help for field Y (Y shud be selected based on X).
I have attached a search help to X's data element, for providing a drop down.This search help's selection method is a text table for X.
When I select a value from the dropdown for X in the search help, only the first 19 characters are passed to the search help's screen field.
Is there any restriction on the length of the value that can be passed to a search help selection?
Pls let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Arthi.

Hi
Herewith i am giving some points about Search Help and the Data Element.
ATTACHING SEARCH HELP TO A DATA ELEMENT ->
The search help can be used by all screen fields that refer to the data element. All the fields with the same meaning therefore have an identical input help.
When the search help is attached to a data element, an export parameter of the search help must be assigned to the data element. If the user selects a line of the hit list in the input help, the contents of this parameter are returned to the corresponding screen field. It is not possible to return several values when the search help is attached to a data element.
If the parameter assigned to the data element is also an import parameter of the search help, the contents of the search field are used for the value selection if they contain a pattern. Other import parameters of the search field cannot be taken into consideration when the search help is attached to a data element.
Assign a search help=> You can assign the data element a search help. This search help is offered on all the screen fields referring to this data element when the input help (F4 help) is called . To assign the search help, you must specify its Name in the data element maintenance screen and an export parameter of the search help in the Parameter field.
Search Helps =>
The input help (F4 help) is a standard function of the R/3 System. The user can display the list of all possible input values for a screen field with
There are two types of search help:
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 helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
Screen Display =>
I think you r talking about the 255 character that a screen lengh can take,but more than 255 character also we can dispaly in a screen.

Description for value help field for custom infotype field

Hi,
I`ve got to include a field in custom infotype. This field has got a value help attached to it. The values to be displayed in the value help are stored in the domain of the field(in the dictionary).
The requirement is that once I select a value from the F4 help, the description for that value should be fetched and be dispalyed on the screen.
I`m using the FM "<b>AM_READ_TEXT_ON_DOMAIN_VALUE</b>" to read the description from the domain ,but unable to make it display it on the screen.
Can anyone suggest me as what should I do for displaying the description in the custom infotype screen.
Regards,
Farhana

Hi anji,
While using the "GET_DOMAIN_VALUES", I do get all the values from the domain. But I want only description to be displayed when I select a Value for that field.Kindly help out..
Eg:
1-Individual
2-Family
Then the description should be displayed as Family when I select the value 2 from the value help.
Regards,
Farhana.

Creating a new Search Help on a standard SAP table field?

Good day, everyone!
As part of a report I am writing, the customer would like to have Search Help added to the AUFEX field in table AUFK. They would like this functionality so that when they are changing an order via t-code ko02, they can get a list of valid values to put in field AUFEX. I would like to tie it to a zTable I've created; in my zTable, I have just 2 fields: a key value (that will go into AUFEX) and a text description of the key value. This zTable is used in my report.
While I've created a Search Help on this table already for table maintenance, I've never added a custom Search Help to an existing standard SAP table field before. I've done some Googling and other searching to see what I need to know, but I've only been able to find information on Collective Search Helps. AUFEX doesn't yet have a Search Help field, so I don't think Collective Search Helps is my answer.
Is this possible? Can I add a custom Search Help to a standard SAP table field that doesn't have any Search Help linked to it yet? Is there an existing thread or guide somewhere that can tell me how to do this?
Thank you!

Hi
Yes u can: u can assign the search help to (A) data element livel or (B) field table livel.
After creating your search help:
A) Run SE11, insert your data element (AUFEX), press edit and insert the search help in "Search Help" area on DEFINATION tab;
B) Run SE11, insert your table (AUFK), press edit, place the cursor on your field (AUFEX) and go to GoTo->Search help->for field
But u should consider it'll mean to change a standard object for both cases: so u need to get the access key from your OSS.

Custom Field in Account Assignment with search help functionality..

Hello friends,
I have added a custom field(Profit Center) in account assignment frame which is having search help also attached..
the data for search help read from R/3.. When i click the search help in WEB , I got an error message saying that 'No input help available ( Search help PRCTR_EMPTY is empty )
Any one have found this kind if issue?
please help out
Regards,
john.

Hi
You can create a custom search help (simialar to R/3 srch help for profit center) and create a corresponding search help exit for this purpose.
You need to call the R/3 table from SRM to get the required data and then map the data in to the search help fields.
Hope this will solve ur problem.

Search help unavailable in Read-only input field since EHP4

Dear Experts!
I have a problem with a Portal page since the deploy of the EHP4. The page has standard input fields with Search Helps. I needed to have the input field non-modifiable so the user would have to use the search help to get the proper information.
Prior to the EHP4 installation, I set the input field to Read Only in the WebDynpro explorer, this disabled the editing while permitting the user to use the Search Help.
Since the installation, the search help is no longer visible or accessible on a Read Only standard inputfield.
Do you know if there is a way to allow the search help on a read only field?
Thanks so much for your answer,
Brian Foster.

>Since the installation, the search help is no longer visible or accessible on a Read Only standard inputfield.
This was a conscious design decision on SAP's part that disabled or read-only fields should no longer fire value help. I am aware that this situation was used in the past as you describe. It is even still used in SE80 for the Web Dynpro ABAP wizards. However usability studies showed that this often confused end users and therefore it is no longer allowed. The field must be input enabled to fire the attached serach help.

Search Help - logic for getting output.

Hi,
I am trying to create search help for Vendor number field. And input selection has a fields from various Vendor related tables ( LFA1,ADRC,LFB1,LFBK,LFBW,LFM1,LFZA).
If user enters any of the input field values (from the above table selected fields)then need to get corresponding vendor number details from all of the above tables(selected fields from the above tables).
can any one let me know how to compose the logic for this?
1. I created search help and trying to put the logic in EXIT for the search help to get the values.
Thanks in advance.
Rajesh.
