F4 help for screen field

Hello gurus,
I have created a custom tab in transaction VF01/VF02 and VF03. In this tab i have added a field on this screen which is supposed to provide F4 help values that are fetched from a Ztable that has been maintained.
Although the field addition has worked fine but i cant get the F4 help. Any idea how i can achieve this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Ritwik Rajkumar

Hi All,
I have a screen in Module pool which has 3 input fields, each input field is attached to the same search help.
These fields are from ztable . I have created a search help USING these 3 fields. All the 3 fields are marked for IMPORT and EXPORT.

Attaching Search Help for screen field in standard transaction

Dear All,
I want to attach my own custom search help for field 'Requiremenr Tracking Number (BEDNR) in PO (ME21n).
How can i do this?
Pls gv the stps.
Thanks a lot.
Kind Regards.

Prasad, you know, when I search forum for answers, I'm really disappointed when I see people have found a solution but don't share, and as the thread was maybe one year old or later, I don't feel to ask because the guy probably don't remember what he did. So giving a little explanation immediately is always a very good idea.

How to get the F4 help for a field in the selection screen

Hi all,
I am working on a report program. In the selection screen, I have the field 'Brand Node ID'(ZNODEID). The requirement is to have the F4 help for this field. This field is available in a 'Z' table ZNODETAB. There is no Value table maintained for the corresponding data element. So, without disturbing the table data element/domain, I should get the F4 help in the selection screen of the report. In the F4 help, data should be fetched from the table ZNODETAB and the field is ZNODEID. Is there any way to do this.
By searching the function modules, I could find that, we can use the FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST. But, I am not Sure. Can someone tell me the parameters to be passed to this function module to get the F4 help and the procedure to follow. S_NODEID is the select option used in the program. Please help me in this regard. Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Paddu.

look at this code and try
select-options : S_NODEID for ZNODETAB-ZNODEID.
at selection-screen on value-request for s_nodeid-low
perform f4_nodeid using 'S_NODEID-LOW'.
at selection-screen on value-request for s_nodeid-low
perform f4_nodeid using 'S_NODEID-HIGH'.
end-of-selection.
FORM f4_nodeid USING    p_field.
declare it_node.
select znodeid from ZNODETAB into table it_node.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      retfield        = 'ZNODEID'

How to add a search help for a field in Screen Personas?

I just started learning to use a Screen Personas, and I want to know how to add a search help for a field.
I found a property in the help document named "IsLookupSupported". Is it the key? But I saw it was gray in the field I created, and its value is "false". I could not change it.

Hi, Tamas,
I found the reason. The function Z_WEBRFC_READ_DATA_SH had a string concatenation error.
CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
The correct code is like:
CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},{"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
Another question is, I can't get any words in Chinese from WebRFC. It returns error when I try it. How can I configure it?

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,
   Your Scenario can be achieved be defining Search help Exit available in the search Help creation Screen

F4 help for a field in module pool

Hello Experts,
I need to provide f4 help on field sales office(VKBUR) in my module pool program.
I have searched forums about it. but all forum contains either doc. no or customers etc.
these field are directly available on table, so very easy to find.
But for sales office, how can i provide f4 help. there is no straight entries in tables like for this company code this sales office.
so its getting difficult for me to provide help.
so if anybody know the solution plz help, and if anyone know table where all sales offices are stored, i will be thankful.
Thanks,
Amar

Hi amar_war,
use screen painter to edit the screen layout where the field VKBUR is on. Double click the field to get the details screen. Here you can attach a search help to the field.
H_TVBUR has no more parameters, it will display a list of al sales offices with description text
H_TVBVK will also show the sales group, if VKGRP is a screen field, it will restrict the result list automatically on matching VKGRP.
H_TVKBZ has also VKORG VTWEG SPART - it will take those values from screen if filled.
If you are not satisfied with the results, you can easily create your own search help using own selection method and own search help exits if required.
Try standard search help for standard field first.
You can create a copy of VKBUR as ZVKBUR and attach search help there, you can create your own screen structure and attach the search help there - 50 ways to get your search help...

Clemens

F4 HELP for standard field..

i want to put F4 help for standard field FERTH in mm01 and mm02 ...
is there any way to put F4 help for this field..

try this
1. First go to SE11 and create your own search help( if you dont know how to create a search help please feel free to ask me, it is very easy).
2. Now in your module pool program program go to the layout of your screen.
3. Now when you see the attributes of this field in the Dict tab you will find the field Search Help. Now here you can specify the name of the search help you created in SE11.
There is also another mehtod to create the dynamic search help. eg:- in a posted document data get the Document nos related to that company code.
The sample code is like this:-
First of all declare the module below in the flow logic of your screen then create it in your main program.
You declare the module in the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD TXT_DOCNO MODULE VALUE_BELNR.
You also need to create an internal table where you wil store results of the select query fired below in the module.
here you will get a F4 help on the filed Document Number(TXT_DOCNO) based on the field Company code (TXT_CODCO)
MODULE VALUE_BELNR INPUT.
progname = sy-repid.
dynnum = sy-dynnr.
CLEAR: field_value, dynpro_values.
