Hi,
Please tell me how to do the program for search help in Dialog programming.
Thanks,
Sriram.

Step 1:
Create a function module (ZZ_TEST_FUNCTION).
Step 2:
--> Create a search help(ZSEARCH)
--> Enter the above function Module(ZZ_TEST_FUNCTION) in search help exit field.
STEP 3:
Attach the search help with any field of table.
Function module Sample Code:
FUNCTION ZZ_TEST_FUNCTION.
""Local interface:
*"       IMPORTING
*"             VALUE(MCONAME) DEFAULT SPACE *"             VALUE(SELSTR) DEFAULT SPACE

Field values are repeating for search help.

Hello Friends.
I have a problem. When I create a search help for a field the identical field values are repeating. What should I do to trigger only the first time.
for example:
Field-name- field-value
Supplier Nr --- Commodity
5001 -
 casting
5002 -
 casting
5003 -
 casting
So when I create the search help for commodity it is showing 'casting' 3 times in a pop-up window. It should not repeat. Can you please give me the solution what should I do?

Hi
Search helps
Standard search help
Types of search helps
Concept of search help
Search Help Interface
Dialog behavior of search helps
Selection method for search helps
Performance of search helps
Attaching search helps
Hierarchy of search helps
Standard Search Help
The input help (F4 help) is a standard function of the R/3 System. It permits the user to display a list of possible values for a screen field. A value can be directly copied to an input field by list selection.
The fields having an input help are shown in the R/3 System by the input help key to the right of the field. This key appears as soon as the cursor is positioned on the corresponding screen field. The help can be started either by clicking on this screen element or with function key F4.
If the number of possible entries for a field is very large, you can limit the set of displayed values by entering further restrictions.
Further meaningful information about the displayed values is included in the display of possible entries, especially if the field requires that a formal key be entered.
TYPES OF SEARCH HELPS
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).
Collective search help
Combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
Search Help Interface
Search help interface determines how the exchange of values between the screen template and the selection method is implemented.
The search help interface defines the context data that can be used in the input help and the data that can be returned to the input mask. Analogously to the interface of a function module, the search help interface comprises interface parameters.
When you define an interface parameter of a search help, you must also define whether it should be used to copy data to the input help (IMPORT parameter) or whether it should be used to return data from the input help (EXPORT parameter). A parameter of a search help can also have both attributes at the same time.
The location from which the IMPORT parameters of a search help get their values and the screen fields in which the contents of the EXPORT parameters of the search help are returned are defined in the search help attachment. The search help itself should always be attached to an EXPORT parameter of the search help. If this parameter is also the IMPORT parameter, its contents are only used in the input help if it is a search string (that is, if it contains a ´*´ or a ´+´).
You must define the parameter types of a search help. You can do this by assigning them data elements.
Value Transport for Input Helps
NOTE:In the above example, screen fields A, B and C are linked with parameters of the search help. As a result, values can only be transported between the screen and the search help for these three fields. Existing contents of screen fields A and B can be used for selecting the hit list since they are linked with an import parameter of the search help. The values of parameters A and C can be returned to the screen from the hit list since these parameters are declared as export parameters of the search help.
Description of dialog behavior
A hit list might contain plentiful number of entries. A
dialog provides the user with an option to restrict the
entries displayed on the hit list.
In an input help process, the set of possible entries is presented in the dialog box as a list for displaying the hit list. The user selects the required value from this list by double clicking. Since the possible entries are often formal keys, you must be able to display further explanatory information about the possible entries in the list.
If the set of possible entries is very large, the user should be able to define additional conditions for the attributes of the selected entry. Restricting the set of data in this way both increases the clarity of the list and reduces the system load. Additional conditions can be entered in a further dialog window, the dialog box for restricting values.
Specifying the dialog type of a search help defines whether the dialog box for restricting values should be offered and if so under what conditions.
The attributes in the dialog box for displaying the hit list or in the dialog box for restricting values must be defined as internal parameters of the search help. An internal parameter can also be used in only one of the two dialog boxes. It can also belong to the search help interface.
The internal parameter types are also defined with data elements. These data elements define how the parameters are displayed in the two dialog boxes.

Function Module for search help Exit

How to create a function Module for search help exits?
please explain in details with step by step process.

Hi,
How to create a function Module for search help exits?
function module for search help F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
dynamic search help use 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
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.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/cf/21ee52446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
please explain in details with step by step process.
create a search help exit:
1. create an fm with this interface:
*" TABLES
*" SHLP_TAB TYPE SHLP_DESCR_TAB_T
*" 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
before the hit list is displayed
if callcontrol-step = 'DISP'.
delete adjacent duplicates from record_tab.
endif.

How to copy a standard search help to another field

Hi All,
I have a BSP screen in that for one input field i need to copy the standard search help for the Business Partner. Could any one guide me how to copy the standard search help for the business partner into the input field in the BSP screen.
Thanks In advance for the help...
Thanks,

Hi,
the BP search is its own web client UI component. For the integration you could check any standard transaction UI component like the BT115H_SLSO, as those contain several partner fields.

How to create program for bapi?

hi all,
how to create program for bapi?
reply me soon now.....
can anybody help me.....
thanks,
S.Suresh.
Title was edited by:
Alvaro Tejada Galindo

Hi ...Here is the step by step procedure for creating BAPIs.
There are 5 different steps in BAPI.
- Create BAPI Structure
- Create BAPI Function Module or API Method.
- Create BAPI object
- Release BAPI Function Module.
- Release BAPI object.
Step1. Creating BAPI Structure:
- Go to <SE11>.
- Select Data Type & Enter a name.
- Click on Create.
- Note: Always BAPI should be in a development class with request number (Not Local Object).
- Select Structure & hit ENTER.
- Enter the fields from your database. Make sure that the first field is the Primary Key Field.
- Then SAVE & ACTIVATE.
Step 2. Creating BAPI module:
- Enter TR.CODE <SE37>.
- Before entering any thing, from the present screen that you are in, select the menu
Goto -> Function Groups -> Create Group.
Enter a name (Note: This name Must start with ZBAPI)
Let this screen be as it is and open another window and there, enter TR.CODE <SE80).
Click on the Third ICON that says Inactive Objects.
Select the group that you just created and click on Activate.
Notice that the group you created will disappear from the list of inactive objects.
- Go back to ><SE37> screen and enter a name and hit <ENTER>. Then enter the group name that you just created and activated.
NOTE: When you release a function module the respective group will be attached to that particular application. It cannot be used for any other application. NEVER include an already existing group that is attached to another module.
Now click on the first Tab that says [ATTRIBUTES] and select the radio button that says remote-enabled module since we will be accessing this from any external system.
Then click on the second tab that says [IMPORT].
Enter a PARAMETER NAME, TYPE and the structure you created in the first step. Also select the check box Pa. All remotely enabled functional modules MUST be Pa enabled, where Pa means Passed by Value and if you dont select Pa, then that means it will be passed by reference..
Then click on tab that says [EXPORT].
Enter the following as is in the first three fields
RETURN TYPE BAPIRETURN (These 3 field values are always same)
Here also select Pa meaning Pass by value.
Note: BAPIRETURN contains structure with message fields.
Then SAVE and ACTIVATE.
Step 3. Creating BAPI object:
- Enter Tr.Code <SWO1> (Note. It is letter O and not Zero).
- Enter a name and then click on create. Enter details.
NOTE: Make sure that that Object Type and Program name are SAME.
- Enter Application M, if you are using standard table Mara. If you are using your own database then select Z at the bottom.
- Then hit <ENTER>.
- Now we have to add Methods. High light METHODS and then select the following from the menu:
Goto Utilities -> API Methods -> Add Methods.
- Enter function Module name and hit <ENTER>.
- Select the second FORWARD ARROW button (>)to go to next step.
- Check if every thing looks ok and again click on FORWARD ARROW button (>).
- Then select YES and click on <SAVE>.
- Now on a different screen goto TR.CODE <SE37>. Enter Function Module name and select from the top menu Function Module -> Release -> Release.
- Goback to TR.CODE <SWO1>.
Here select the menu combination shown below in the same order.
- Edit -> Change Release Status -> Object Type Component -> To Implemented.
- Edit -> Change Release Status -> Object Type Component -> To Released.
- Edit -> Change Release Status -> Object Type -> To Implemented.
- Edit -> Change Release Status -> Object Type -> To Released.
- Then click on <SAVE>.
- Then click on Generate Button (4th button from left hand side looks like spinning wheel).
- Then Click on the button that says PROGRAM to see the source code.
To check if this is present in work flow goto TR.CODE <BAPI>.
Here it shows business object repository.
- First click on the middle button and then select ALL and hit ENTER.
- Goto tab [ALPHABETICAL] and look for the object that you created. This shows that the BAPI object has been created successfully

How to write program for handling script ?

In script i have 2 pages.
In first page i have constant windows and variable windows.
In second page i have main window.
How to write program for this?

Hi
You need to write a driver program. You need to use open form, then write_form to write data into various windows and then close_form to close.
As you don't want main window in the first page first try out just by having the window in the second page; i guess system will take care of it. As all other windows filled and if u start writing data in the main it'll go for next page.
If doesn't work have the window on the first page with the least hight and write a command
IF &SYST-PAGE& EQ 1
    NEXT-PAGE.
ENDIF.
Then in the second page you can have the main window hight as per your requirement.
Here is an example
(1) Get customer data
TABLES: scustom, sbook, spfli.
DATA: bookings like sbook...
select * from...
(2) Open form
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
    EXPORTING
      DEVICE = 'PRINTER'
      FORM = 'S_EXAMPLE_1'
      DIALOG = 'X'
    EXCEPTIONS
      others = 1
(3) Print table heading
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
    EXPORTING
      ELEMENT = 'HEADING'
      TYPE = 'TOP'
      WINDOW = 'MAIN'
      FUNCTION = 'SET'
(4) Print customer bookings
LOOP AT bookings WHERE
    CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
      EXPORTING
        ELEMENT = 'BOOKING'
        TYPE = 'BODY'
        WINDOW = 'MAIN'
ENDLOOP
(5) Close form
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'

Surya.

How to make custom append search help tab default for all users?

I've implemented my own search help append and I need to make the F4 search help to display my tab as default for all users. I know that search help stores the last tab used by the user in memory and when user uses the search help next time the last used tab is displayed but I have to make the system display the tab od my search help append always as default tab. Any idea how to do it?

hi
Enhancement using Append structures
 Append structures allow you to attach fields to a table without actually having to modify the table itself. You can use the fields in append structures in ABAP programs just as you would any other field in the table.
Click on the append structure tab and opt to create new
structure.
Append structures allow you to enhance tables by adding fields to them that are not part of the standard. With append structures; customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
Append structures are created for use with a specific table. However, a table can have multiple append structures assigned to it
 Customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP

How to disable buttons in Search help screen ?

Hi All,
How do we disable Print button in customer search help ?
We want that nobody should be able to take a printout of Customers from Search help result. Hence we want to disable the print button which comes in Search help.
Any idea how do we go about it ?
Regards,
Ashish

Hi there,
you should be able to do that with the search help exit. Try replacing the PF-STATUS for instance. I am not sure if this works though!
For instance:
IF call_control-step = 'PRESEL'.
SET PF_STATUS 'ZZ' OF PROGRAM 'ZZZ'
ENDIF.
Or you might call the existing PF-STATUS and use EXCLUDING.
