F4 help using standard FM , to restrict output

Hi Gurus , I am using a standard FM CBIH_LB22_PHRASE_VALUE_REQUEST to display F4 help. This returns the following screen
Phrase key                   Phrase text
AAAA                          desc1
BBBB                          desc 2
CCCC                           desc3
I however want to only show the phrase text . How can I achieve this.
Thank you

Hi ,
Is there an eaiser way to control it from the function call. This function actually calls its own screen

Help using Nik Sharpener Pro for output to Aperture Book...

I wonder if anyone knows what printers Apple uses in the U.S. for Aperture book printing. 'Googling' leads me to think that they are 'digital' but I don't know how to translate that for the settings in Sharpener Pro.
Or is there a prescribed way to sharpen (with general setting info) in Aperture itself. I know how to sharpen in Aperture (3.4.3) but don't know what is the right method for images destined for a book.
My images are almost all portraits, and close-ups specifically, so eyes are particularly important.
I have spent a lot of time trying to find help with this online. My two Aperture books say nothing.
Any other advice for optimizing the results would be most appreciated.
Thanks...

Thank you for this! I hope it helps (the best info so far) but I wish that someone from Apple would update for all of us the specs of the printers that they are using now (four years later than the discussion referenced).

Help: Using XML to format Java output

I built an application that uses an SQL DB (uses HSQLDB). Users are prompted to enter data via the keyboard to store in the tables.
The users must be able to query the database as well, to see what is in the tables.
My aim is to use XML to show the results of the query, so that it is formatted nicely.
However, I am new to this and not sure how to start putting in the XML tags etc. I think I know which part of the code to modify. This is the part that does the displaying.
      * Ouptut the contents of a recordset to the console with
      * the column names from the tables
      * @param rs the ResultSet to display
     public static void print(ResultSet rs) throws SQLException {
          ResultSetMetaData meta   = rs.getMetaData();
             int               colmax = meta.getColumnCount();
             int               i;
             Object            o       = null;
          String coln            = meta.getColumnName(1);
             for (;rs.next();) {
                 for (i = 0; i < colmax; ++i) {
                o = rs.getObject(i + 1);// Is SQL the first column is indexed
          coln = meta.getColumnName(i+1);
                                            // with 1 not 0
          System.out.println(coln +":"+'\t'+ o.toString() + " ");
            System.out.println(" ");
}Can anyone give me any guidance or just a hint for me to start?
Thank you very much.

Using DOM would probably be the easiest solution, though not fast enough for your problem, as many records might come out of the RS...
So if performance is an issue, try producing XML with SAX (read the excellent Dr.Clap tips here: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=34&thread=326617)
Else use DOM: chapter 7 here: http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.1/tutorial/doc/index.html

Hi Ravi,
Thanks for you help.
Ravi can you guide me on how to get the layout of the fax. Here fax is at client site so i am unable to get the fax sent. So if i configure dummy fax then can i see the fax layout . probably if possible you can send me the code where you called the function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.

That is not true that this is the only way. The standard Data Dictory based search help can return more than one value as long as there are multiple exporting values defined in the search help, the search help is attached to a Data Dictionary Structure, and this same data dictionary structure is used as the source of the context node. You can read more about this in the online help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/47/9f724642314aabe10000000a42189b/frameset.htm
The Note section under Integration:
If an input help structure is stored in a field in the ABAP Dictionary, and if you want to use the field mapping of search help parameters stored in the ABAP Dictionary as the field name for the structure for your Web Dynpro input help, then map your context nodes to this structure. This ensures that all components of the structure are available dynamically at runtime as attributes of the node.
If the context node is not mapped to the structure, the data element's input help can be used if there is one.

Regarding guidance to use standard search help

I need to add two fields PLANT and STORAGE Location on the item level of the service order. These fields are not mandatory, and should enable the user to enter a Plant and Storage location.The storage location field editable and using a value help, this field and the plant will be filled in. The plant field is read-only. The table which contains the data in SAP is OFIC_PLANT_SRV. Based upon the search help OFI_SHLP_STORAGE_LOC, I will put both the storage location and plant on the Web UI, when the user uses the search help of field Storage Location.
I am using SAP CRM 7.0 and new to ABAP and CRM.
Kindly suggest in detail what should I do step by step ?
ALready I have done the following :
1) Enhanced respective components
2) Added the fields through AET in BTADMINI

The search help used here is MAT1.
It is possible to use the same serch help in your custom program. You can either attach with the field in the table by double clicking on the field name in SE11 or in the screen painter. Double click on the field in the screen painter and under the attribute option (Dict tab) you can find option for giving serach help.

How do I use the print function to output a numeric variable with a fixed amount of leading zeroes

I need to create an output from a T-SQL query that picks a numeric variable and uses the print function to output with leading zeroes if it is less than three characters long when converted to string. For example if the variable is 12 the output should
be 012 and if the variable is 3 the output should be 003.
Presently the syntax I am using is PRINT STR(@CLUSTER,3) . But if @CLUSTER which is numeric is less than three characters I get spaces in front.
Please help!

>> I need to create an output from a T-SQL query .. <<
NO! NO! In RDBMS, we have a presentation layer that handles displays. We do not ever do it in the database. This is fundamental. But more than that, the purpose of PRINT is for debugging in T-SQL and never for output.
You are still writing 1960's COBOL or BASIC, but you want to to it in SQL. You probably picked the wrong data type (a numeric that should be a string) and are trying to repair your design error.

SAPFM06P - Can this program be used for triggering a Smartform Output??

Hi Experts!
I researched a lot and came to a conclusion that Program SAPFM06P can only be used trigger either a SAP SRIPT Output or a PDF FORM output. It cannot be used to trigger a SMARTFORM output directly as there is no code in it to trigger a SMARTFORM.
My understanding:
I will have to either create an Enhancement to the Program or a Zcopy of SAPFM06P where I need to write the logic in form routine ENTRY_NEU to call a SMARTFORM.
Please tell me if my understanding is correct and please guide me if there is any easier way to achieve the same functionality.
Thanks for help!

Please explain as to what u mean by standard structure in the table control, when u r trying to view the data, are u trying to populate the internal table that you are feeding to the screen structure with the entries that you want to display?

Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
Transaction Code - PP01,
Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
It's urgent.
Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
timepoints
The following timepoints are defined:
1. SELONE
Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
2. PRESEL1
After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
3. PRESEL
Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
4. SELECT
Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
5. DISP
Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
7. RETTOP
You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
9. CREATE
The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
10. APP1, APP2, APP3
If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
Hope this info will help you.

Multiple copies for Payment advice using standard program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement, need to print the payment advice form twice (one for account section and other for vedor). According to the existing process it uses standard SAP print program RFFOAVIS_FPAYM OR RFFOUS_C (for cheque payment) to print the output.
When I tried to print the output by giving number of copies, it prints test pages but not the actual output. The actual payment advice note with proper values getting printed only once. I actually need to print this actual payment advice note twice.
Do you experts know how to achive this? is there any configuration available to get this requirement? OR how can i do this without chaning Standard SAP program?
Thanks in advace for your help..
Regards,
Prashant

Hi,
2 times printing can be done using Sap script.however, it would call for changes to your driver prog...
in function call CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'....u need to add g_ITCPO-TDCOPIES = '2' and pass g_itcpo to OPTIONS structure of the FM.With this you can ahve 2 copied of ur output. I just test printed it.
So in your case as yours is a standard program, you could probably create a copy of the Standard program and add the above logic in your program.
hope this help
Cheers,
Varna
