How to include a date range in Search Help

Hi All,
I need to include a range for a date field in a Search help.
That is I have to add From Field and To Field for the same field in the search help.
Please advise.
Regards.

If you are going to add an entirely new field (not existing in the SAP standard search), try using EEWB and for the query on that field would be a modification to the Model access class.
Regards,
Shailaja

How do I change the default "date range" when searching in the forums?

Hi all,
New to the SAP forums... How do I change the default date range when searching in the forums? I am getting a 90 day search by default. Then I have to change it and search again. Argh!
Thanks,
--Amy Smith

Hi Amy,
the default date range cannot be changed by users. It is defined system-wide.

Regarding date ranges in search criteria in oracle forms

I am using employee number,name, person type, and date ranges as search criteria in custom form.
when I enter employee number, hit the find button, I am getting the exact info in the result block.
Result block contains
employee name,personid,emp numb,org,start_date.
Similarly when I enter employee number,dept, I am getting correct values.
My question here is, when I enter date range. Iam unable to filter data.
When i enter START_DATE between nvl(:BLOCKNAME.START_DATE,'01-JAN-1901') and nvl(:BLOCKNAME.END_DATE,'31-DEC-4712') at where clause in the result block. I got data for the date range also.
if I give condition in the where clause, results are taking so much time when i search with employee name,number,dept,person type.
If i query with date, persormance is good.
Do u any know,how to prevent START_DATE between nvl(:BLOCKNAME.START_DATE,'01-JAN-1901') and nvl(:BLOCKNAME.END_DATE,'31-DEC-4712') when we search with employee name,number,dept,person type.

Initailly Ididnt given any code in the where clause of the result block. I got data in the result block when i search with employee name,number,person type,dept etc except date range.
If i give date range, irrespective of the date, getting all the data.
after that i added code to the where clause of the result block. Now i am getting data for everything.
like, when i query with employee name,number,even date range also.
My question here, performance.
when I query with date range, data is coming in expected time in the result block.
when i query with dept, taking much time since date range logic exist in the where clause of the result block.
I need to restrict the where clause only to the data ranges. Where clause should not necessary for employee number,name,person type dept search criteria

How to set a date range for date field ?

Dear Experts,
Scenario:
I have a query in validating the date field in my BSP application. My application is for maintain infotype 0023 Other/Previous Employers online by employees in the company.
As per our design we are maintaining the all employment details of the employee both ( with in the current company / previous employment outside the company) in the same infotype.
Every employee will have a hiring date within the SAP HR system. We consider this date as the cutoff date between current and previous employment in our application. When the employee updating the details wia BSP page I need to check the following.
Record inside current company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) greater than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE(ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA).
Record outside current Company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) less than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE (ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA) and less than HIRING DATE.
Technical Requirement:
How to set a date range for date field, i.e. how we can limit the date range in a HTMLB date field? Can this it be achieved via standard functionality of HTMLB?
Following is the code to describe date field in my application.
    <htmlb:inputField id= "ENDDA_NEW_IN"
                      type= "date"
                doValidate= "TRUE"
                  showHelp= "TRUE"
                  disabled= "FALSE"
                     width= "183"
                     style= "cssTextAreadate"
                     value= "<%='99991231'%>"/>

t:inputCalendar How To Specify a Date Range?

<-- Sorry for my english. -->
Can anybody help me?
I want to know how to specify a date range in the <t:inputCalendar/> component. I'm using Tomahawk/Apche implementation. So that the user cannot specify a date outside that range.
Thanks.

I don't think that the inputCalendar tag supports that directly. However, you could add a validator to the component.

How to add one column in existing search help.

Hi Folks,
My quesion is
How to add one column in existing search help and also Now search help on that field is not an explicit search help. It should be implement using check table.
Shivam

Hi,
If you want to add a field in Elementary search help, get the search help name for the and go to change mode and add the field in it.
If you want to add a field in collective search help, go to included search helps tab and a new search help name and add the fields to it.
I think this should help you to certain extent.

Thanks in advance.
Chitta Ranjan mahato.
Edited by: chitto123 on Oct 8, 2010 5:59 AM

Howdy,
DATA COLLECTION - refers to a database table or view. This is the data that the search help will search through and display based on the parameters provided, so you can create your own view for the search help if you want the search to cover multiple tables.
SEARCH HELP EXIT - You can create a function module to be able to alter the Search Help's selection and results at various events throughout the search help. An example of this function module is provided with some documentation in function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE.
Cheers

Date selection and search help component in jsp

Hi all:
    In sap portal jsp development enviorment, is it possible to easily program the date selection and search help ( just look like search help in webdynpro ) ?

Hello Jianhong,
the easiest way to set a value help is using HTMLB component in your JSP.
To do it, use next code:
<hbj:inputField
           id="DateInputField"
           type="date"
           showHelp="TRUE"
           ... other attributes
/>
Before using HTMLB components in your JSP, don't forget to add this line to your page:
<%@ taglib uri= "tagLib" prefix="hbj" %>
regards.

How do i deduct dates using formatted search with a query

Hi Experts,
I would like to know how to get the date difference using query and formatted search. Below are the details:
1. I have created 3 Header UDF's composed of 2 Date type fields and 1 Quantity field.
2. The first one is for the Original Date, the next one is for the Payment Date and the Last one is for the No. of Days Lapsed.
What I would like to do is automatically compute for the number of days from the original date to the payment date. What query syntax should i use to achieve this?
Thanks,
Yvette

Hi Yvette,
It should be something like;
DATEDIFF (day, T0.[createDate], T0.[closeDate] ) as 'Aging' This is just an example. You may add your udf's instead of dates.
Thanks,
Joseph

Including the Date Range Criteria as part of the Title

I am using LastFullMonth (great function) as part of my criteria for a report, and want to include this data as part of the title - "Bla Bla Report for the Following Dates: mm/dd/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy". I am sure I will need to create a custom formula, but I can't figue out how to convert the evaluation of LastFullMonth to a string, so that I can concantinate it to the rest of the title.
Much TIA
Jim Cook

I created a formula - maximum(LastFullMonth), which gave me the last day of the month, then formated it to show "Month, Year".

How to display our own selected data in a search help using a exit

Hello,
I had created a Search Help Exit to restrict the values to be displayed in the search help. This code was written under the event 'DISP' in the exit. But it is not giving the desired result. So I want to replace the RECORD_TAB of the exit with my own selected data. For this I had written code for selection under the event 'SELECT'. But when I try to overwrite RECORD_TAB with this, this create errors.
What should I do to overwrite the values of the RECORD_TAB field with my own values?
