Help view to get two table entries in search help

Hi,
I have created the help view for join two tables and that help view was called in the selection method for creating search help of the custom table field. since it has show inthe selection screen , it is fetching only one table entries. and the shown entries are displaying but not passing.
Please provide the steps to get the two table entries and the displayed entries should pass.
Thanks in Advance,
siva

Hi sivanag,
1. Try your view with SE16/SE16N to see if it really finds what you expect
2. Use the same data elements in help view as on selection screen
3. read documentation and F1 help on all fields you see in the search help definition - especially only field marked as EXPORT parameter will be put back on screen.
But, sincerely, I don't know what your selection-screen looks like.

Help On Currency and Quantity Fields:
Whenever you have to maintain fields for currencies and quantites u need to refer them to currency key and quantity key which also have to be present in the table.
If suppose you are creating a table for Employee. And suppose that fields would be like :
EMPID -
employee id
EMPNAME
employee name
DEPARTMENT --- department
SALARY -- salary ( Data Type u2013 CURR )
WEIGHT -
weight of the employee ( Data Type -- QUAN )
Now the fields SALARY AND WEIGHT fields should refer to currency and quantity keys. So you need to have two more fields like
CURRKEY --- Data Type ( Cuky )
Quantity --- Data Type ( Unit )
Now we have to attach the field Currkey to the field Salary
And the field Quantity to the field Weight
So when u create a table you can see a tab Currency / Quantity fields.
Here You can give the reference table and the reference field against the salary and weight fields.

SVS, EVS, and OVS, Value Help and Search Help

what and how to use SVS, EVS, and OVS, Value Help and Search Help in abap webdynpro...Can anyone please give example link or document...As i am able to get on ovs but unable to get rest of other

SVS and EVS are Web Dynpro Java specific types of value help. They do not exist in Web Dynpro ABAP. In Web Dynpro ABAP we have Data Dictionary based Search Help, OVS, and Freely Programmed Value Help. In WDA 7.02 we have the slight variant on DDic Search Help called Suggest Values. It doesn't change the development model, just the runtime user experience.
You can read more about each of the types of WDA based value help in the online help:

How to add check tables or search helps to search help parameters?

Hello Forum!
I have made a Z-Search help, and I have a problem with some of my parameters.
The field (MARC)-EKGRP (Purchasing Group) has a check Table (T024) and the matching search help (H_T024).
I seem to find no possibility to add this check Table search help to my EKGRP parameter in my Z-Searc Help.
(Therefore, the End-User has to type it in Manually, there is no F4 funktionality...)
Is there a way to do this?
Thanx for replying!
Kind Regards,
Pieter
PS: I´m experiencing the same problems with other fields as well: to parameter (MARA-)MFRNR I would like to add the seach Help 'KRED', for it appears on my Z-Search Help. And so on....

Thanks, Archna Raja!
This is certainly the right direction to look for a solution.
However, i can not get it to work.
In debugger Mode I have populated the SHLP-FIELDDESCR field 4AVAILABL with X.
Result: The button for the search help appears. But when I click on it, nothing happens.
I than also tried this in combination with populating the fields:
REFTABLE
CHECKTABLE
No search Help window opened..
I did not find a fileld where I can indicate the Search help in the SHLP Structure.
Am I missing out on something?
Kind Regards,
Pieter
PS: I´m trying to get a search help for The filed EKGRP.

Help regarding search help

hi,
i want to know the functionality with example on "search help".
how r they useful?....how r they created??...and how to use them in dialog program??
thanks

Hi Kunal,
There are 3 ways:
1)In the PAI of the screen, add a module Process on value request. For example:
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_100.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD field_name MODULE value_request_for_field_name.
*field_name is the field for which you require search help.
In the Module value_request_for_field_name call this function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'.
2)The above procedure can be used if the field you have defined doesnt have an existing search help.If it already has search help and the field in the screen is taken from the dictionary,then in the attributes,u can check from from dictionary under the dictionary tab.
3)A manual search help can also be created in the se11 transaction by clicking on the search help radio button and giving the table and field name for which search help is required.
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.
Please check this link on how to create search help.
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/dictionary/shelp/shelp_basic.htm
1) after creation of search help, you can assign this to database field in change mode of table and double clicking of the field name.
2) in screen field, double click to see the attributes and give your search help there.

Problem with ALV search help Dictionary Search Help

Hello experts
I have a problem with ALV search help.
I use DDIC table ZXXX with text table ZXXX_T. I created DDIC search help form table ZXXX. In my WD application, in context on COMPONENTCONTROLLER i set on attribute: 'Input help mode' as 'Dictionary Search Help' and in 'Dictionary Search Help' I pass name of new created DDIC search help.
I create a input field from that atrribute and search help works fine (there was a value and description for value from text table). So I created ALV witch contains that attribute too.
Next I set column for this attribute in ALV as editable but on Serch help for this collumn I have only value. I DON'T HAVE TEXT DESCRIPTION FOR VALUE.
Please help me and tell me what I do wrong?
Miko

Hello,
Thank's for your help. I create DDic Search help for all fields from my ALV. Next I changed 'TYPE' for all ALV fields in COMPONENTCONTROLLER from ZXXX-Zfield to Zfield, and I changed 'Input help mode' from 'Automatic' to 'Dictionary Search Help'. Now I see Value and Description for value in Search Help in my ALV.

Search Help Within Search help

Hi experts!!
How can i assign a search help to a field of another elementary search help from SE11???
I tried to create a new data element but did not work...

Hi
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.
1)Choose the field name, click on search help tab and
provide the name of the search help.
A search help is attached to a field of a table or structure in the maintenance transaction for this table/structure, analogously to attaching to a table. You must assign the interface parameters of the search help to any fields of the table/structure. The search field must be assigned to an EXPORT parameter of the search help at this time.
2)Attach the search help to the table field
3)The search help ZSTRAVELAG_NAME is therefore directly attached to the field AGENCYNUM of table ZSTRAVELAG.
Attaching a search help to a data element
Provide the search help name and the parameter name
under the further characteristics tab of the data element.
If the input help of a field is defined by its data element, no further screen fields can be used in the input help.
Also note that the input F4 help would be available wherever the data element is used.
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.

Need help on search help

Hi Gurus,
On the selection screen report, if a person press f4 on a field bplan then a list of possible entries are displaying.
I have to add two more entries in that list. How to do? I didnt find anything that happeneing in the report for displaying this possible entries.
I checked the table for the field bplan which is displaying the possible values by pressing f4 on that field in the selection screen of the report.
I went into the field, i didnt find any check table or value table. Then I checked for search help for the table through se11. then I found the field with the search help exit Z_F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_ZHRBPLAN. when I went inside I dont find any code related to possible entries.
Can any one suggest how to add to new values in the possible list.?

Declare Select-options/Parameter S_BPLAN where you want the F4 help.
Create an internal table with field BPLAN.
Fill the internal table using Select on table T5UBA.
Append the 2 extra entries into the table.
Call the FM
Pass field name 'S_BPLAN' to exporting parameter retfield.
Pass internal table to tables parameter value_tab.
Thats it.
Hope it helps.
Lokesh
Pls. reward if it helps.

Thanks !!

Hi,
Check the below link
Re: Search help with 3 return values
in place of the variable (CARRID CONNID FLDATE ) take WERKS and LGORT and fetch the data from MARD table
alternatively you can use DYNP_VALUES_READ in F4 module of STORAGE LOCATION and capture the value entered in the first field and can continue.
Hope this serve your Issue.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR s_bsart.
CALL SCREEN 100 STARTING AT 10 5

MODULE value_list OUTPUT.
SUPPRESS DIALOG.
LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING AND RETURN TO SCREEN 0.
SET PF-STATUS space.

Help on Search Help Exit

Hi all,
In transaction code IW51: Create Notification.
Equipment Field is on Main screen and Ship-to Party is on Subscreen. I have created a new elementary Search help for Ship-to party and attached to collective search help DEBI in which I am displaying one column of equipment number attached to ship-to party.
Requirnment is when user hits F4 on Ship-to party, all the equipment associated to this ship-to party are displayed,if user clicks on any of equipment number , this has to be filled in equipment field which is on Main screen.
I think if fields are on same screen it will be filled automatically, but here the equipment is on main screen.
Please help me if any of you have faced this type of problem.
Thanks in Advance,
Vijendra

Hi,
If you trying supply value for the equipment field in the main screen, i guess you wouldn`t be able to do it using the search help exit. Rather on the exit you can supply values for the equipment field directly.
just for eg. xxxx-equip. = <user selected value>.

Need a help on Search help

Hi All,
I need some regarding search help.
I have created search help for two Fields.
in my Selection screen I am giving these two
for example material type and material Number
in my first selection I have selected material type 'X'.
when I press F4 on material number I need to get only the material no, which are related to that material type 'X'
I need to filter the Second F4 help based on First one.
Can u guys tell me the solution ASAP.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Venu

Hi Venu,
Use AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR <Material Type>
here you will get the 'Material Type' which user has selected, so get the Values from the database based on the 'Material Type' which is selected, then pass it to the 'Material Number' so that if User press the F4 then he will get only those values based on the condition.
you can use Function module F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST to get the values.

KK
