T-code PA30(SAP HR) search help exit problem.

Hi Experts ,
I have a requirement to restrict/show particluar Wage Types in PA30 t-code on basis a company code of a given the employee (PERNR).
The field PERNR/Company code are not there in the parameters or selection method of the elementary search help H_T5W3A(PA0151-LGART field) .
I have managed to add the field pernr to the parameters of this elementary serach help H_T5W3A and also given it as a importing parameter in the custom search help exit FM.
When i debug the PERNR/Company code don't get populated in the FM parameters.
I need this PERNR/Comp code to be poulated in order for the search help entries to be restricted as this is the requirement.
Please tell me what step i am missing here.
Any other workarounds for this requirement.

Hi,
Adding an importing parameter just provides the user to restrict the search by entering the field value. For this you need not write a search help exit. You only need to join the tables with the fields properly in the search help. However if the Wage types need to be populated as per the company code and if you have included the company code as an importing parametr, then everytime the user clicks on the F4 help for Wage type, he "has" to enter the company code in the pop up that appears for selection criteria, otherwise how would the search help know the value that you have entered for company code.
Without entering the company code in the pop up that would appear to restrict the search, the search help won't work as there won't be any other way to make it aware of the value entered.

How do we display ALV in Search Help exit

Plz help out !!

You have to program the exit properly to return the value to the field to which the search help is attached. Refer to the following link to find out how to do this: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/cf/21ee52446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm]

How to have radio button in search help ?

Hi,
I have a requirement in which on pressing F4 the user will input value of a document number on displayed search help screen. I need to provide two radio buttons there based on selection of which i will determine the values in my search help exit.
To clarify more, i am in CRM system and user runs a transaction crmd_order but he doesn't know the contract document number to open. He knows a sales document reference number so he presses for F4 help where he can input the sales document reference number to get available contracts. Now when he/she enters the dsles document number they need to choose which kind of contract should be displayed ( Two kind of contracts : proposal and schedule ). Based on user input i will search in help exit and display the output.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Apoora

Hi Apoorva,
i think you can write below code just to show the Pop-up for details.
this you can write on POV or at selection screen-output.. when ever the user changes the Radio button the logic will be triggered and pop-up is triggered..
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT'
    EXPORTING
      i_title               = 'Batch Number Selection'           "Pou-up Heading..
      i_selection           = 'X'
      i_screen_start_column = 5
      i_screen_start_line   = 5
      i_screen_end_column   = 50
      i_screen_end_line     = 20
      i_tabname             = 'T_BATCH'                  "Internal Tbale

How to replace a field's search help of DDIC in FPM feeder class?

Hi All,
I want to replace a field's search help in DDIC structure, for an example, in structure HCMT_BSP_PA_XX_R0009, the field BANKL(Bank Keys) has a search help named 'H_BANKL', I want to replace this search help with other one such as 'H_BANKEY' in the FPM feeder class CL_HRESS_PER_DETAIL, I redefined such method:
method if_fpm_guibb_form~get_definition.
field-symbols: <fs_field_description> like line of et_field_description.
call method super->if_fpm_guibb_form~get_definition
importing
es_message = es_message
eo_field_catalog = eo_field_catalog
et_field_description = et_field_description
et_action_definition = et_action_definition
et_special_groups = et_special_groups
ev_additional_error_info = ev_additional_error_info.
read table et_field_description assigning <fs_field_description> with key name = 'BANKL'.
set search help name of field 'bank key'
if <fs_field_description> is assigned.
<fs_field_description>-ddic_shlp_name = 'H_BANKEY'
endif.
endmethod.
I test it and found the search help window was replaced indeed, but all the value of import/export parameters in the new search help was lost, it means, the value of import paramer BANKS(Bank country) and the export parameter BANKA(bank name) were lost. Only the value of BANKL itself can be returned by the new search help window. Can you give me some suggestions about how to maintain the link( value exchange) between structure HCMT_BSP_PA_XX_R0009 and dynamically defined search help 'H_BANKEY' in FPM feeder class?
I tried to use sap memory ID but it doesn't works well.

This question was answered at [Webdynpro Forum|how to replace a field's search help of DDIC in FPM feeder class?;:
That is because for the import and export of DDIC Search help values to work in WDA, not in FPM layer.Feeder Class can do nothing about it.

Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

Hello,
this topic is still a problem for me, does anybody have an idea.
Just to show what's my problem:
Collective Search help KRED does include a SAP append-search help ASH_KRED which holds the elementary search helps KREDC, KREDE, KREDM, KREDW.
The search helps KREDE, KREDM, KREDW should not be displayed, so I added another Serach-Help-Append ZKRED_CUST at the end of CSH KRED which holds these 3 SH's with the hidden flag.
That works, the SH's are not shown anymore.
I also added some other of the Original SAP SH's (e.g. KREDA) with the hidden flag and added changed copies of these (e.g ZKREDA) there to be shown instead.
All this can be done modification free by appends.
The folders of the elementary search helps are shown in the order as they are found included in the KRED SH and the append to this SH.
This means that the not hidden Sh KREDC from ASH_KRED is shown before all the "custimized" ZKREDx -SH's. But we need this SH not very often, so that I want it to displayed al the right-most position of the folders of SH's or at the most down postition of the drop-down-selection of SH's.
But I have not found any way to do this modification free.
The only way to archive this is to modify ASH_KRED by setting the Hidden-Flag for KREDC and add this SH at the end of append-SH ZKRED_CUST again.
But I want avoid this modification.
So, is there any way to do this without modifing any of the original SAP SH's ?

How can we create a Collective search help

Hi all sap experts,
How can we create a Collective search help on field OBJECT which allows to search tables
o ARCH_OBJ
o TOJTB (Search help: H_TOJTB)
on 2 tabs.
Thanks,
Basu

Hi
1) 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).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
CREATION:
Go to SE11 Tcode
select search help
give the 'z' search help name and create
select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
dialog module 'display value immediately'.
add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
where left position when displaying and spos = search position
and then save and activate ..

Can somebody help me on how to create Search help exit?

I have requirement where in i have to use search help exit in search help .Based on the value in the GET parameter id i have to extract the value in the search help can somebody help me in this.

HI
In order to offer a meaningful input help for as many screen fields as possible, the R/3 System uses a number of mechanisms. If there is more than one such mechanism available for a field, the one that is furthest left or at the top of the above hierarchy is used.
In addition to the options described above for defining the input help of a field in the ABAP Dictionary, you can also define it in the screen field. The disadvantage, however, is that there is no automatic reuse.
With the screen event POV, you can program the input help of a field by yourself. You can adjust the design of the help to the standard help using the function modules F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST or F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST. However, you should check to see if the part of the input help that you programmed yourself should be implemented as a search help exit instead (see Appendix).
You can also attach a search help to a screen field in the Screen Painter (Module Pool programming). There are some functional restrictions on this kind of attachment as compared with attachment in the Dictionary.
You should no longer use the input checks defined directly in the flow logic of the screen, from which it is also possible to derive input helps.
The function Technical info is offered in the hit list in the menu of the right mouse key. It can be used to find out which of the specified mechanisms is being used.

I saw some examples in wiki, but not able to understand what to do for my requirement.

Edited by: vnamamala on May 27, 2010 12:22 PM

You would use the step 'SELECT' to control the data selection into an internal table. You would use the step 'DISP' to map the records in the internal table to the search help record table. In your case, I would already have a field in the internal table with the values concatenated together prior to the hit list display (do this in SELECT step) which is not displayed in the hit list but is flagged as the EXPORT field in the search help definition; otherwise just put the field at the end of the hit list.
Map your results in DISP as follows:
*   Map the internal table to RECORD_TAB
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_RESULTS_MAP'
         TABLES
              SHLP_TAB          = SHLP_TAB
              RECORD_TAB        = RECORD_TAB
              SOURCE_TAB        = GT_DOCUMENT
         CHANGING
              SHLP              = SHLP

         TABLES
              SHLP_TAB    = SHLP_TAB
              RECORD_TAB = RECORD_TAB
         CHANGING
              SHLP        = SHLP

please check out the link below it will help you
A repository object maintained in the ABAP Dictionary. It supplies input fields on Dynpros with single- or multi-column input helps. Search helps can be linked in the Dictionary with components from structures, data elements, and check tables. A search help enables you to search for entry values with assigned data, without you having to know the exact spelling of the value.

create a search help exit:
1. create an fm with this interface:

*" RECORD_TAB STRUCTURE SEAHLPRES
*" CHANGING
*" VALUE(SHLP) TYPE SHLP_DESCR_T
*" VALUE(CALLCONTROL) LIKE DDSHF4CTRL STRUCTURE DDSHF4CTRL
put this logic in it:
Delete duplicate filter logic.
This logic only needs to apply at the 'DISP' event - which is just

Adding a new field to the search help exit

Hi friends,
adding a new field to the search help exit. How does it work ?
Thanks in advace

The search help exit allows you to modify functionality of search help. If you add a new field to the
parameter list that is not contained on the selection method you can manually populate it within the search
help exit.
This would be performed within the u2018STEP DISPu2019 section. Once within this section all search help
data has been retrieved and is stored in table RECORD_TAB (record_tab-string) as one long string value.
Therefore you need to read table SHLP in-order to locate position of value within string.
Example:
To find position of personnel number (PERNR) within elemenory search
help M_PREMN you would use the following code:
Loop at record_tab.
     read table shlp-fielddescr into wa_shlp
                                   with key tabname   = 'M_PREMN'
                                            fieldname = 'PERNR'.
You could then use this information in the following way, for
example, to find a persons organisation unit:
      select orgeh endda
        up to 1 rows
        from pa0001
        into (ld_orgeh,ld_endda)
       where pernr eq record_tab-string+wa_shlp-offset(8)
                                                  u201Cpernr length is 8
       order by endda descending.
      endselect.
      select single orgtx
        from t527x
        into ld_orgtxt
       where orgeh eq ld_orgeh and
             sprsl eq sy-langu and
           ( endda ge sy-datum and
             begda le sy-datum ).
If you have added a new field to the end of the parameters list
the next step is to populate it by adding this data to the end of
the record_tab string:
concatenate record_tab-string ld_orgtxt into record_tab-string.
modify record_tab.
endloop.
