How to do a Search help on SAP structure field listing custom table data?

i have a SAP screen (Trans KE52) that they want to have a drop down (search help on).
The drop down should list values from a custom table.
How do you do this?
The values to be displayed are NOT from a structure table but from a transparent table. i believe I will need a search FM to do this but not sure how it is to be done.
Any one have ideas?
Thanks!
Scott

Hi Scott,
You need to go to SE11 and look for a searh help that match your requirment or build one.
In case you are going to develop one, in the definition tab of the search help look for the selection method and put in the input field the name of your transparent table.
After that you must specify the fields that you need to appear at the list and the one that is going to be selected for your field. This step you have to do it on the search help parameter grid.

How to add a search help on a screen field from screen painter

Hi,
I would like to add an existing Search Help on a screen field in Screen painter.
Of course it's possible to just click on th screen field and in the property box, I just have to set the name of teh search help.
The problem is that I need the screen field to be grey and user musn't be able to change the field value if he doens't use the search help.
I'm not allowed to modify the existing search help or to built it on my own from source code, I must use the existing one.
Do you have an idea on how to do so?
Regards,
Morgan

Dropdown Box:
In the screen painter for that field goto properties -> Dropdown ->select listbox.
Option 1:
Instead let that field be in change mode and if user enters any wrong entry which is not there in the table give a error messgae.
CHAIN.
 FIELD addr1_data-country.
 MODULE modify_screenfields1.
ENDCHAIN.
MODULE modify_screenfields1 INPUT.
CASE sy-ucomm.
 WHEN 'ENTER' OR 'EXECUTE'.
 IF NOT addr1_data-country IS INITIAL.
 SELECT SINGLE landx FROM t005t INTO lws_landx WHERE
 land1 = addr1_data-country
 AND spras = 'EN'.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE e000(zo_spa) WITH text-022. " Invalid Country code
 ELSE.
 t005t-landx = lws_landx.
 ENDIF.
 ELSE.
 CLEAR: t005t-landx.
 ENDIF.
 ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE. " modify_screenfields1 INPUT
Option 2: Other than if u want the way u like, let that field be greyed out. don't attach the search help.
In the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD addr1_data-region MODULE region_pov.
MODULE region_pov INPUT.
Using the F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST table value request show the search help.
also make that field input enabled.
ENDMODULE. " region_pov INPUT
I think this will solve ur problem.

Prakash.

Search help at a structure field does not appear

Hi there,
i have created a customer own search help and for a first try i have assigned it to a screen field. This worked propperly but i receive values for three fields (document number, company code and fiscal year) from that search help - what has been succesfully testet in SE11 and worked ok.
To assign all exporting fields to my screen I deleted the search help at the screen field and I created a copy of RF05L structure and assigned my search help to the document number there. My screen fields belong now to a structure and the type of that structure is my version of RF05L, at first with type, later changed to like.
So my screen field must have the search help from that structure, but it has no search help at all.
After some trials I deleted my field from the screen and added it again based on my structure and changed the name to my internal structure name for the document field. This was the only trial where the search help appeared afterwards but as I did the same to the two other fields it disappeared again and I could not make it visible until now.
What shall I do?
Thank you in advance for any hints.

Hi Axel,
When you are adding the screen fields - are you sourcing them from the Program OR Data dictionary.
You should source it from the Data Dictionary and ensure the screen fields attribute "From Dict." checkbox is marked in the "Dict" tab.
Hope this helps.

How to restrict the search help given to a field for a specific program ??

Hi,
I have one search help which is attached to a field.
This seach help is using a Z table and showing values perfectly for one program where I attached earlier.
The same fields and Z table I am using is some other related program where user wants to see the restricted values only.
I am not getting, how a search help can be restricted.
I try to take a example of it.
If in first program the search help values are:
Material           Level
Orange              1
Mango               2
Grapes              3
Now in the second program user wants to see only levels not the material. I Have given only two colums for understanding purposes not all .
Please suggest what are the possible ways we can do it.
Thanks right now.

Change Search Help for Payment Terms Field

Hi,
I would like to change the Search Help for Payment Terms Field, in Customer Master (KNVV-ZTERM). and in Sales Document. I believe it is the same.
Default is From Table T052 / T052U
ZTERM and TEXT1 Fields
I would like to have
From Table TVZBT
ZTERM and VTEXT
PayT Own Explanation Field.
Can we change the Search Help.

Hi,
The search help for the payment terms is not coming from the DDIC search help..
It is coded in the process on value-request event...
The function module FI_F4_ZTERM is called for this..you have to change this function module in case if you want the values from a different table..
OR do implicit enhancement in the subroutine FORM HELP_ZTERM in the include MF02DFH0 to call your search help instead of the function module FI_F4_ZTERM ..And do the same for the sales order also..
Thanks

thanks in advance
naval bhatt

Hi,
You have a Function module HELP_VALUES_BSART
or
You need to use AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR <FIELD>.in this one use the Function module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.
Look at the below linkhttp://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/9f/dbaac935c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm

Creating a search help with SAP UI5 and js?

Hello com,
I am trying to create a search help, collecting data from a table.
Is there something similar to the typical ABAP search help in SAP UI 5?
ABAP:
PARAMETERS: lv_alias TYPE dsh_alias MATCHCODE OBJECT dashboard_alias_f4,
I found this in the Demo Kit:
// create a simple SearchField
var oSearch = new sap.ui.commons.SearchField("providerSearch", {
        searchProvider: new sap.ui.core.search.OpenSearchProvider({
                suggestType: "json",
                suggestUrl: "/demokit/suggest?q={searchTerms}",
                icon: jQuery.sap.getModulePath("sap.ui.core", '/') + "mimes/logo/txtonly_16x16.ico"
        search: function(oEvent){
                alert("Search triggered: " + oEvent.getParameter("query"));
//attach it to some element in the page
oSearch.placeAt("sample4");
But how can i connect it with the specifiy data table?
Thanks,
Domenik

Hi,
you need to create OData service which will retrieve (search) the required information and then need to create UI5 application to consume it.
you can refer this blog How to Implement Value Help (F4) with SAP UI5 which covers both parts.
if you are having SP08 version of SAP Gateway then creating search help is very simple. refer my blog Creating OData service based on Search Help

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?
