F4 Search Help in ALV output

hi experts,
I have the Batch field as an editable field in ALV list display. I want to Give an F4 for this Field. I have given the reference field and reference table as 'MCHA'. I am getting the F4 values also. But i want like an search help dialog box instead of a whole list of values as i get in VL02n when we f4 for batch in a modal kind of a box.Is there any way i could do it. I am Using Reuse_alv_list_display.Is there any way i could do it.
With thanks in advance,
Syed Ibrahim

Search Help In ALV Grid

What is shortest way to attach particular Search Help in ALV grid using OOPS ?

Thanks Gurpreet,
Through search helps attached to data element it is possible but is there any other way to attach searchhelp differet from from the search help attached to the data element ? The new search-elp is not customized search help as given in the above threads ?
Eg. - If I want to attach MAT2 to a field named MATNR in the table instead of the MAT1 which is standard.
Thanks in advance

How to set column names in OVS search help of ALV EDIT

Hi All,
I have a OVS search help for my ALV EDIT column.This OVS will have two columns,I need to give the names(name1 , name2) to the columns.
I am writing the below codo in phase 0.
      ls_text-name = 'Column1'.
      ls_text-value = 'name1'.
      INSERT ls_text INTO TABLE lt_column_texts.
      ls_text-name = 'Column2'.
      ls_text-value = 'name2'.
      INSERT ls_text INTO TABLE lt_column_texts.
      ovs_callback_object->set_configuration(
                label_texts = lt_label_texts
                column_texts = lt_column_texts
                group_header = lv_group_header
                window_title = lv_window_title
                table_header = lv_table_header
                col_count    = 2
                row_count    = 20 ).
Below code in Phase 3.
      Assign ovs_callback_object->selection->* to <ls_selection>.
      if <ls_selection> is assigned.
        ovs_callback_object->context_element->set_attribute(
        name = `ATR1`
        value = <ls_selection>-Column1 ).
      endif.
But,the column names are not getting set.Please provide your inputs.

Salma

hi,
About your requirement, i don't know why you need to code in "Phase 3" of OVS.
"Phase 3" is used for transporting your selected value to Your ALV.
I think, the reason why you loose the result table including your customized column title, is that you loose the "Phase 2".
Generally, in the past i used OVS as the following code simply.Just one example:
* declare data structures for the fields to be displayed and
* for the table columns of the selection list, if necessary
types:
    begin of lty_stru_input,
*   add fields for the display of your search input here
      carrid type string,
      connid type string,
    end of lty_stru_input.
types:
    begin of lty_stru_list,
*   add fields for the selection list here
      carrid type string,
      connid type string,
      text   type string,
    end of lty_stru_list.
data: ls_search_input type lty_stru_input,
        lt_select_list   type standard table of lty_stru_list,
        ls_text          type wdr_name_value,
        lt_label_texts   type wdr_name_value_list,
        lt_column_texts type wdr_name_value_list,
case ovs_callback_object->phase_indicator.
    when if_wd_ovs=>co_phase_0. "configuration phase, may be omitted
*   in this phase you have the possibility to define the texts,
*   if you do not want to use the defaults (DDIC-texts)
      ls_text-name = 'CARRID'. "must match a field name of search
      ls_text-value = 'Search Field-Carrid'.
      insert ls_text into table lt_label_texts.
      ls_text-name = 'CONNID'. "must match a field name of search
      ls_text-value = 'Search Field-Connid'.
      insert ls_text into table lt_label_texts.
      ls_text-name = 'CARRID'. "must match a field in list structure
      ls_text-value = 'Result-Carrid'.
      insert ls_text into table lt_column_texts.
      ls_text-name = 'CONNID'. "must match a field in list structure
      ls_text-value = 'Result-Connid'.
      insert ls_text into table lt_column_texts.
      ls_text-name = 'TEXT'. "must match a field in list structure
      ls_text-value = 'Result-Text'.
      insert ls_text into table lt_column_texts.
      lv_group_header = 'Group Header'.
      lv_window_title = 'Window Title'.
      lv_table_header = 'Table Header'.
      ovs_callback_object->set_configuration(
                label_texts = lt_label_texts
                column_texts = lt_column_texts
                group_header = lv_group_header
                window_title = lv_window_title
                table_header = lv_table_header
                col_count    = 3
                row_count    = 8 ).
when if_wd_ovs=>co_phase_2.
*   If phase 1 is implemented, use the field input for the
*   selection of the table.
*   If phase 1 is omitted, use values from your own context.
      if ovs_callback_object->query_parameters is not bound.
******** TODO exception handling
      endif.
      assign ovs_callback_object->query_parameters->*
                              to <ls_query_params>.
SELECT * INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE lt_select_list FROM ZTABLE_FLIGHT

Using Search Help with ALV and Dynamic context node

The topic subject already describes my situation.
I have to create, populate and remove context nodes at runtime, and bind them to an ALV, to let user display the data or modify the data. The nodes I create are always typed with a table name, but the table name is of course, dynamic.
This is all working: what's not working is help for entries inside the ALV; since the table has foreign keys and domains with check tables or fixed values, I expected that search helps were detected and managed by the framework.
Instead, no help search is displayed except the input help based on data-type of the one "Date" input fields.
I think I have to work on the dynamic node creation, and not on the ALV itself, since the latter only takes the node/attributes information, but i could be wrong. I tried with both the two following codings:
CALL METHOD lo_nd_info_root->add_new_child_node
    EXPORTING
      static_element_type          = vs_tabname
      name                         = 'SAMPLE_NODE_NAME'
*    is_mandatory                 = abap_false
*    is_mandatory_selection       = abap_false
     is_multiple                  = abap_true
     is_multiple_selection        = abap_false
*    is_singleton                 = abap_false
      is_initialize_lead_selection = abap_false
      is_static                    = abap_false
    RECEIVING
      child_node_info              = lo_nd_info_data .
cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>create_nodeinfo_from_struct(
      parent_info = lo_nd_info_root
      node_name = 'SAMPLE_NODE_NAME'
      structure_name = vs_tabname
      is_multiple = abap_true ).
The result is the same...is there any way to let the ALV know what search helps it has to use, and doesn't force me to manually build a VALUE_SET to be bound on the single attributes? There are many tables, with many fields, and maintaining this solution would be very costly.

I have checked with method GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUEHELP_TYPE of interface IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO, on an attribute which i know to have a search help (Foreign key of a check table).
The method returns 'N', that is the constant IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER~CO_VH_TYPE_NO_HELP. So, the framework was not able to find a suitable search help.
Using method GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_HELP of the same interface, on the same attribute, returns me '111', which is constant C_VALUE_HELP_MODE-AUTOMATIC.
Therefore, the WD framework knows it has to automatically detect a value help, but fails to find one.
Also, this means in my opinion that the ALV and the dynamic external mapping are not the culprits: since node creation, no help is detected for any attribute but the date. Honestly, I don't have a clue on what's happening.

Search Helps in ALV grids.

Hi,
I am working on ALV grids in custom control.
My requirement is to provide search helps in the ALV grid for few fields out of which the search help for one field should be populated dynamically.
Please help me.

hi
good
You can have almost everything you like in a search help. Nice search help examples are:
MPLAL (exit = F4_MATCHCODE_USER_EXIT) -> calls a selection report (transaction IP03)
HRBAS00OBJID (exit = RHF4_EXIT_OBJID) and include search helps

F4 help to ALV output Field

Hi All,
I am displaying an ALV output using class. In the output list, i have added one push button 'ADD'. If user clicks on this button, new line should be available to enter the data. This is working fine.
Now i want to give an F4 help for a column for which values is to be generated in the program. I have an internal table with values which is to be displayed when user clicks on that column.
This is very urgent.
Pls. suggest me.
best regards,

Hi,
Linking F4 Help to Fields
For the last section, we will deal with linking F4 help to fields. It is easy. As usual, define, implement and register the event onf4 at proper places in your code. For F4 help, you must register the fields whose F4 request will trigger the onf4 event. For this you must prepare a table of type LVC_T_F4 and register this table using the method register_f4_for_fields. While preparing table you must include a line for each field which will trigger F4 event. For each field in the structure;
Pass the fieldname to FIELDNAME
Set REGISTER to make the field registered,
Set GETBEFORE to provide field content transport before F4 in editable mode
Set CHNGEAFTER to make the data changed after F4 in editable mode.
Preparing table for the fields to be registered to trigger F4 event
DATA: lt_f4 TYPE lvc_t_f4 WITH HEADER LINE .
lt_f4-fieldname = 'PRICE'.
lt_f4-register = 'X' .
lt_f4-getbefore = 'X' .
APPEND lt_f4 .
CALL METHOD gr_alvgrid->register_f4_for_fields
EXPORTING
it_f4 = lt_f4[] .
A sample onf4 method implementation
METHOD handle_on_f1 .
PERFORM f4_help USING e_fieldname es_row_no .
er_event_data->m_event_handled = 'X' .
Again, we set the attribute er_event_data->m_event_handled to prevent further processing of standard F4 help.

Ranjit Thakur.

I hope you have checked standard program 'bcalv_edit_08'.
in this program, if the type of field we are taking in that perticuler column is 'DATS' then it should display the calender.

F4 help in ALV grid using existing search help

Hi All,
It would be appreciable , if some help on problem. Thanks in advance.
How to provide user defined F4 help in ALV grid using existing search help?
ALV grid has developed using OOPS concept.
Thanks,
Sudhakar.

Hi,
if you already developed using OO concept, it should be possible to:
create a handler for event ONF4
The interface will tell you actual field name and value where F4 is pressed. This will enable you to call your own routine (see FM F4-IF....).
Please check how the standard handles F4 - if you have standard and customer-F4 mixed you shouldtake care that the standard handling is triggered.

Clemens
