F4 help creation

for the field zregion1 of the table zbwcntry,i wish to put f4 help in the slection screen of the clasical report.
this f4 help should display all the entries for this field available in the table.
what will be the code and where should i call this.
what will be the select criterion.

You can use the function module 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
Eg. Code
select-options : s_carrid for.....
at selection-screen on s_carrid-low.
SELECT carrid carrname
FROM scarr
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab_carrid.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
EXPORTING
retfield = 'SCARRID-low'
value_org = 'S'
TABLES
value_tab = itab_carrid
EXCEPTIONS
parameter_error = 1
no_values_found = 2
OTHERS = 3.

Search Help Creation Using HR Master Table

Hi,
I have got one functional spec for elementary search help creation in SAP HR,
that elementary search help contain a view. In that view i want TWO fields with
two different selection condition say,
Field Name is <b>USERID from the table PA0105 with Sub type 01 as Core id and Sub Type 10 as Location</b>, I want these two fields to be there in my View but the field name are same.
There is any option for this in the VIEW creation.
Reg,
Hariharan

Hi Kiran,
Master table is PA0003, where all pernrs will be
stored here.But to get employee name you can use
PA0001-ENAME (Formatted name of employee)
PA0001-SNAME (Employee's name)
For last name and first name you can check
PA0002-VORNA and PA0002-NACHN.
Hope this will you.
Thanks & Regards,
Srilatha.

Help---- creation of jar file

hi,
i have developed a application with swing concept and mysql as my database... now i am trying to create jar file for my application... in the manifest file i have given like this:
class-path: C:\Program Files\MySQL\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\bin;
Main-Class: Login
but still it throws an exception that main class: could not be found:
can any one help me...
Thank u in advance..
Abdul

For a classpath it is easy to forget to add code]//.;[ to the classpath and you also want to add %CLASSPATH%; as well
example classpath=.;%CLASSPATH%;...........rest of libs/jars the dot tells jvm to search current directory just like in DOS

Issue with Search Help Creation

Hi All,
I need to display the match code for the Z table ZPRODUCT and the field is PRODH. The data should be retrieved from the table T179 by filtering PRODH = 'ZZ*' and STUFE = '1'. So, I am trying to create a Search Help for this requirement. But, the field ZPRODUCT-PRODH is of 5 Characters length and the field T179-PRODH is of 18 characters length. As the lengths are not matching, it is not allowing me to create the Search help. Could someone tell me if there is any way to overcome this issue?
Or is there any better approach to create the match code apart from the Search Help. Can we use the Table events for this requirements? Please share your thoughts.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Paddu.

Did you check the screen field names & search help name? is it identical & unique?

Predefining Map IDs Prior to Help Creation?

We're looking to streamline our help integration process for
in-program, window-level help. The way we would like to do this is
to have the developers assign Map IDs in the code right from the
outset in the development process, before the help is written.
However, doing so would mean that any map file I get from them will
not include topic titles. Is this a problem?
(The advantage is that by using this system I could go
through the application screen by screen during the testing phase
and determine which screens do not have associated help topics.)
If we can in fact implement this system, what does the
developer need to give me? What should the file content look like?

I have usually not had any problems with BugHunter. But my
usual caveat applies here - I use RH v. 2000. Another tool you can
use is Microsoft's Help Workshop. It will also intercept help
messages from applications.
Before trying anything else, you have your application and
BugHunter running simultaneously? And do you have your RH project
open? Do you know what command the developer is using to call help?
You should get something with the following format from BugHunter:
CHM File Name: C:\PROGRAM FILES\DSQUARED\LATEST
BETA\delight.chm
Topic: Welcome.htm
Command: HH_HELP_CONTEXT
Map Number: 0
Result: Topic launched.
I have, on occasion, had neither BugHunter nor Help Workshop
respond and the reaon has something to do with the fact that I run
numerous, unregistered to Windows, beta and release versions (all
with the same filename) of our software on one computer. I have
always been able to fix it if I delete the hh.dat file. Something
in that file (which seems to have a highly secretive format)
interferes with help calls if you have changed directories of your
app without letting Windows know.

Help creation of ImageIcon

I want to display Image on JLabel in Swing component. I have my image in the oracle database in blob format.
I am getting byte[] data from the blob object using the function below: this function returns byte[] array,nothing but variable "content"
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////code/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
byte[] content = null;
Blob filenameBlob = null;
String qry = " SELECT DOC_IMAGE FROM EDR_PRA_INVOICE_IMAGES WHERE SEQ_NO='1'";
con = CmnConnectionPool.getConnection();
con.setAutoCommit(false);
st = con.createStatement();
rs = st.executeQuery(qry);
rs.next();
filenameBlob = rs.getBlob(1);
content = filenameBlob.getBytes(1L,(int)filenameBlob.length());
//////////////////////////////////////////////////code////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
In swing components my code like this.
byte[] data = getting from the above function.
System.out.println("the data in the image is "+ data) //its printing properly 8345 something value
ImageIcon ik = new ImageIcon(data);
JLabel jl = new JLabel("prasad");
jl.setIcon(ik);
but it is not setting the image, only the label "prasad" is displaying.
what might be the problem?
thanks in advance

Can you provide the contents of the byte[]? Try saving the byte[] to a file and opening it with a viewing client such as a web browser. Is the byte[] a properly formatted GIF, JPG, or PNG?
For reference, in the future, place your code between [ code ] elements (no spaces between brackets and letters). It allows for formatting of your code. For more information, see "Formatting Help" above the posting window.

Hi, tell me abt creation of search helps in detail

hi, tell me abt creation of search helps in detail

Hi
Search helps
Standard search help
Types of search helps
Concept of search help
Search Help Interface
Dialog behavior of search helps
Selection method for search helps
Performance of search helps
Attaching search helps
Hierarchy of search helps
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.
Context data: You first have to define the context data to be used in the input help process. The context contains the information obtained in previous dialog steps and the entries already made by the user in the current input mask. This information is normally used to restrict the possible values for the current input field.
Dialog behavior: It describes the order of the dialog windows to be displayed during the input help and what they should look like.
Data collection method: It defines where the values offered to the user for selection come from.
Return values: When a value is selected from the list of possible entries, it is stored in the search field. This often results in the contents of further screen fields, such as explanatory text, being updated. You therefore should define which values can be returned to the screen.
In addition to describing an input help, you must define the fields for which it should be used. This is part of the field definition (of the search fields).
In Release 4.0, the search help was introduced in the ABAP Dictionary as a new object type. A search help is an object that describes the input help process. The individual components of such a description can be defined with attributes of the search help.
Search helps are subject to the same rules concerning their maintenance, activation and transport as all other objects of the ABAP Dictionary.
Search helps provide greater flexibility and functionality for defining input helps than the matchcode and help view object types offered up to Release 3.x.
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.
creation of Elementary Search Help

search helps for the collective search help.
We need to assign parameters for each of the included
search helps.
Complete the parameter assignment by clicking on the push button
Collective search help offers the user to obtain F4 help
using any of the included search helps.
Attaching a search help to a field
A search help can influence the behavior of a field when the input help is called. The search help must be assigned to the field in order to do this. You have the following options for this assignment:
Attach search help to a data element / table or structure field / screen field / check table.
Conventionally search helps are attached to table fields or data elements. We shall see the same.
Attaching a search help to a screen element
A search help can be directly assigned to a screen field in two ways.
The name of the search help must be entered in the Screen Painter in the Attributes for the field in the field Search help.
The name of the search help can be defined for selection screens in ABAP reports in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement directly following the supplement MATCHCODE OBJECT.
However, input help is only available for this particular screen.
In this case, the search help is only available for this screen.

Input help for AUART field on the selection screen

Hi,
I need to create a Z search help for the Field AUART ( sales document type ) .
The search help should be created in this way :
   i need to group these Document types under one name ( say SALO) ZCM1, ZCM2,ZDM1,ZDM2,ZRE1,ZRE2,ZS01,ZS02,ZS04.
Then i need to group these document types under another name ( say PRJO) ZCM3,ZDM3,ZS03.
Then i need to group both SALO and PRJO under one name 'BOTH'.
So my new search help will be SALO
                                             PRJO
                                             BOTH
If i select SALO , it should pull data from the Table for all the document types specified. Similarly for PRJO and BOTH .
Can anyone please advice me in this regard at the earliest
With Best Regards
Mamatha.

Hi Mamtha,

Search Help Exits:
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 .
