Eventing on dictionary search help on date field

Hi Experts,
In my WDABAP application I have a Date input field. I have used dictionary search help into this field to display calender searc help.
Now on select of the date from the calender I want to trigger one event which will enable some other fields in the application.
Can you please tell me how to implement this on select event of the date.
Thanks
Sonia.

Hi,
Since you are using an Input Field , only event possible is "On Enter" event.This event is triggered when "enter" key is pressed by the user after selecting a value in the input field.So may be you can use this and proceed further.
Although it may not serve you the actual requirement that you have to achieve , because input field does not have any event for "On select".
[On Enter|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/14/0ce74114a1da6fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] this link might help
Cheers,

Problem with search help and date fields

Dear experts,
I have two text fields and to each i assigned cacs_calendar search help.
It works well normally but if i make text box output only then i cannot select date.
I want that text box in its disabled form can be used to select date from cacs_calendar search help
that i assigned.User should not provide manual input which means fiedls should be otherwise listed in grey.

Hi Aditya
If a I/P output field is provided an attribute as output only and though search help is provided , the values in the search help list will also be in read-only mode and u cannot select them at all, may be you can solve ur problem thru different approach.
when a manual entry is done with wrong value which is not present in F4 help/search help list and
execution is done SAP will by default throw error saying invalid value

A ALV with some editable fields which have dictionary search help

Hi all:
There is a requirement to implement an ALV with some editable fields which have dictionary search help, do you have any idea?
thank you very much

Hi - yes it can be done.
1st in your object select the component SALV_WD_TABLE (ALV component) * do all the bindings of your component to your VIEW, Component usage interface, etc.
When you are declaring your context node attributes if you add a TYPE Data element that has a search help bind to the data element it will be accessible in your ALV or in the Attribute there's a INPUT HELP that option that you can add the search help there but you need to have your ALV input enable
for example:
data: lr_input_field Type Ref To cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field,
lt_column Type salv_wd_t_column_ref,
ls_colum Type salv_wd_s_column_ref,
lv_value Type Ref To cl_salv_wd_config_table,
l_col_name type string,
lr_cmp_usage Type Ref To if_wd_component_usage,
lo_interfacecontroller Type Ref To iwci_salv_wd_table.
lr_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ). *ALV is the name you enter for your component usage when declaring component SALV_WD_TABLE at the beginning.
if lr_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
lr_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
endif.
lo_interfacecontroller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ). *once again your ALV name
lv_value = lo_interfacecontroller->get_model( ).
lt_columns = lv_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_columns( ).
Loop at lt_columns into ls_column.
l_col_name = ls_column-r_column->get_id( ).
create object lr_input_field
exporting
value_fieldname = l_col_name.
ls_column-r_column->set_cell_editor( value = lr_input_field ). *this will made all your columns input fields
endloop.
hope this help!

Dictionary Search Help - how to trigger an event after F4 help

Hi,
I been searching the web lately to find a way to trigger an event after using the F4 input help.
Here is an example of what I would like to do:
- I have a WD form with a inputfield in it.
- The input field is bound to datalement "LIFNR".
- In my context I have specified the Input Help Mode to "Dictionary Search Help"
- And the Dictionay Search Help is set to "KRED"
A user will the click on F4 to start the Search help, then pick a LIFNR and the WD inputfield wil be filled.
What I want is to trigger an event when this is happening.
Does anyone have som tips or guides for me regarding this problem?
Thanks in advance! =)

Hi Mathias Hagen
Actually there is no straight way of doing this , but still you can trigger a event in F4 search help ... below is very informative blog to trigger the F4 search help by chris

Search help for custome field with different data type

Hi Friends,
I have Created a custom table in which i have created a field is
ZMATLONG which stores material number.
Now the data element is zdmat which is of char 40..
Now i want to give search help for this field ZMATLONG..
I have tried many ways giving search help to this field
a) i Tried to attach the standard search help of MATNR ie : MAT1 but its showing me data type inconsistancy
b) i created a zsearch help and in the selection method i have used database table mara , again here iam getting the same error data type inconsistancy...
Now how can i give the search help like matnr field to my custom field ZMATLONG...
How can i do it..?
Thanks in Advance..
Regards
Kumar

Hi,
MATNR ahs length 18 and ZMATLONG has length 40.So due to this u cannot use MAT1 search help.
best way would be cope MAT1 into Z search help. Then in the search help parameter change the data element of field
MATNR as ZMATLONG.
Now if you assign Z search help to ZMATLONG it will work.
I tried this its working fine.

SEARCH HELP FOR DATE

Hi Gurus,
I have a screen containing fields from an internal table. As I cannot use the 'from dictionary' option in the screen painter attributes, (since internal table field is not in ABAP dictionary), I'm not able to display the search help for a field of type DATS. How can i access the stabdard date search help for my type DATS internal table screen fields?
assistance will be rewarded.
thanx in advance.

Try this:
On your customizing screen flow,
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
Field T_ZT-SDATE " your date field
module create_dateselect.
In your main program:
module create_dateselect.
data:p_date like sy-datum.

Adding Search help to a field of standard transction

hi experts,
i m new to abap.
my pp consultant wants that in transaction MM03, for the field on selection screen (Material) one more search help should be added. and on pressing f4 it should be displayed there with other search options.
The search field is "(Document)-Number of the drawing that exists for this object".

is it possible? if yes how much time it would take and to do it.
how should i go about it.
plz help.

Hi ANNIE,
Go through the following Procedure to add a Search help to a field of standard Transaction
The Matchcode is replaced by search help from the version 4.6C.
I will tell u how create the search help.
Name of a search help
A search help is an object of the ABAP Dictionary with which input helps
(F4 helps) can be defined.
There are the following types of search helps:
o Elementary search helps implement a search path for determining the
possible entries.
o Collective search helps contain several elementary search helps. A
collective search help therefore provides several alternative search
paths for possible entries.
o Append search helps can be used to enhance collective search helps
delivered by SAP with customer-specific search paths without
requiring a modification.
The three components of the input help process described by a search
help are the outer interface, the online behavior and the method of data
Go to Tcode SE11. Select the search help radio button.
Give name as ztest and click create
There are two types of search help.
Once is elementary search help
& collective search help
Choose one.
Add the data element.
MatchCode is replaced by search helps.
To attach a search help to a field.
Use this code.
at selection-screen on value-request for source.
progname = sy-repid.
dynnum = sy-dynnr.
clear value_tab.
refresh value_tab.
Filling the Value_tab internal table by itab2 internal table.
