Howto limit options in search help for DDIC element LANGU (language)?

Hi all,
in my application I have an input field for a language parameter. Of course the standard search help (F4) opens a popup with all possible languages (registered in system). Now I want to limit these languages in the popup to only a few I want.
Is it possible to programmatically do this in ABAP, or do I have to copy the DDIC element and create an EXIT for the search help?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards, Matthias

Matthias F. Brandstetter,
You can do search help in 2 ways.
1.
You can copy existing one and make changes to that and add that to the field for which u want to.
2.
check the search help which tables are being used.if you know the tables , u can write search help using ABAP.
Check the procedure.
1.F4 help for field on the screen.
   Event used.

  • Search help for WBS element on timesheet

    Hi,
    We are using EA-HR 6.00 (webdynpro)
    Is it possible to change the search help for the WBS Element field that appears on the Record Working Time timesheet?
    There appears to be a table called TCATS_SHLP_ITS, but is this not for the old ITS version and not the new webdynpro version?
    The client would like to use a different search help when they choose the dropdown on the timesheet but I can't seem to figure out if this is possible.
    Thanks.

    I guess I'll retract my question, as making change to table TCATS_SHLP_ITS is making a difference on my WBS element dropdown... just need to get it to work properly now.

  • One search help for multiple select-options in webdynpro abap

    Hi,
    I need a way to use one search help for multiple select-options fields. My scenario is :
    I have a table for keeping different organizational units' values of different systems. I have pasted some sample data from this table at the end of this mail. On the screen I want to have 1 select-options filed for werks, and 1 select-options filed for vkorg. (In fact I will have more org. unit fields...) In the beginning of my application the user will select sid.
    If the user selects ADS as SID, when he opens search-help for the first org. unit (werks), he will see the records with SID: ADS, VARBL = $WERKS, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
    If the user selects AGT as SID, when he opens search-help for the second org. unit (vkorg), he will see the records with SID: AGT, VARBL = $VKORG, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
    I have created a search-help taking SIDD, VARBL and LANGU as import parameters; used field mapping and bound this search help to my table. I have created 2 context nodes : org1 and org2 having attributes SID, VARBL, VALUE, LANGU .
    I have assigned related SID, VARBL and Langu values to these attributes at runtime as I needed. That way, if I use input field and reference to the related context attributes org1-value and org2-value2 accordingly, search help works well as I want.
    However, when I use select-options field , I can not bind the field to the context data. I can give reference only to ddic structure. Is there any way to reference to a context attribute? I searched for this in SDN, but could find nothing.
    I think I won't be able to use this way. What do you say?
    As I read from forums maybe using OVS help will be suitable for me. But I have to use one search-help for all select-options fields. Do you know how I can determine the active select-options field and pass its name (for instance "werks" ) as parameter to this OVS search help. (Also I'll pass SID and LANGU.)
    MY TABLE (ZBYYT080) CONTENTS:
    SID     VARBL     VALUE     LANGU     VTEXT
    ADS     $WERKS     1     T     Werk 0001
    ADS     $WERKS     11     T     OZYAS  GIDA URETIM YERI

    AGT     $VKORG     6500     T     DAMk St.Org
    AGT     $VKORG     5400     T     PANAR St.Org.
    I wish I'm clear enough..
    I will be gald if someone answers me as soon as possible...
    Thanks İn advance..

    Hi,
    Your ques is how to refer to a DDIC search help to refer to selection screen parameter ?
    Am I right ?
    If Yes, then in the interface IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS
    method ADD_SELECTION_FIELD, ADD_PARAMETER_FIELD etc
    have importing param like I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE and  I_VALUE_HELP_ID, I_VALUE_HELP_MODE, I_VALUE_HELP_STRUCTURE
    etc which may help you to link your create DDIC Search help to selection screen params.
    this is just a clue from my side. I haven't tried it myself.
    You can go to the where used list of this method and find some sample implementations which use these params.
    Hope this helps.

  • Enhancing standard (single select)search help for Multiple value selection

    Hi,
    Standard search help for Business Partner (in cProjects) allows only single value selection for input fields. I want to make this multiple selection.
    Is there a way to do it.
    I used an OVS and built a similar search but its difficult to get the standard options like saving to personal value list etc in it.
    It would be good if there is a way to modify the standard search help to allow multiple selection. Any ideas??
    Appreciate your help,
    Thanks,

    As far as I know you can't make a standard ABAP dictionary search help return multiple entries - where you get this sort of functionality the searches don't use the standard Elementary search help framework (e.g. organisational structure searches)
    Given that the WDA search help relies on these dictionary based searches, I'd think very much that you couldn't enhance it to return multiple. how you could even return multiple entries into a single UI element input field is also confusing to me.
    I'd suggest creating a freely programmed value help, it would certainly take quite some effort to recreate those personal value lists etc, but it could be done - I don't like OVS, but that just me.

    Hi Pradeep,

    A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
    This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
    A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
    Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
    Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
    During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
    If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
    timepoints
    The following timepoints are defined:
    1. SELONE
    Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
    Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
    The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
    2. PRESEL1
    After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
    3. PRESEL
    Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
    4. SELECT
    Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
    5. DISP
    Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
    6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
    The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
    It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
    7. RETTOP
    You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
    8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
    The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
    9. CREATE
    The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
    The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
    10. APP1, APP2, APP3
    If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
    Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
    If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
    F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
    This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
    All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
    A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
    events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
    However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
    The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
    Hope this info will help you.

  • 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.

  • How to limit results in search help CV01 (incl. COM_SE_F4_HELP_EXIT)

    Hi experts,
    in transaction CV03N I want to limit the result list (table RECORD_TAB) of the search help CV01 using authority check. The user should not even see the document shorttext (from table DRAT) of some TOP SECRET documents in the F4-help result ... Actual solution: no user has rights for CV03N ... :-P
    I found out, that the search help for the dynpro field DRAW-DOKNR is CV01,
    including following search helps:
    CV01T
    CV01O
    CV01C
    CV01B
    CV_TREX
    Also there is a search help exit (function modul) COM_SE_F4_HELP_EXIT for CV01.
    I tried to enhance the search help exit using the prepared BADI COM_SE_F4_RESULT_ITEMS, but after i did a short test with the relevant method, i found that there is something not working as i expected ...
    Problem:
    in the function modul COM_SE_F4_HELP_EXIT there is a step prepared called STEP SELECT.
    * STEP SELECT    (Select values)
    * This step may be used to overtake the data selection completely.
    * To skip the standard seletion, you should return 'DISP' as following
    * step in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
    * Normally RECORD_TAB should be filled after this step.
    * Standard function module F4UT_RESULTS_MAP may be very helpfull in this
    * step.
      IF CALLCONTROL-STEP =  'SELECT'.                 "here i put Session BREAK-POINT
        PERFORM STEP_SELECT
                  TABLES   SHLP_TAB
                           RECORD_TAB
                  CHANGING SHLP
                           CALLCONTROL.
    *                                      Don't process additional STEP. ..
        RETURN.
      ENDIF.
    But after i put a BREAK-POINT and than start CV03N, searching a document via F4 + press ENTER, no debugging (!).
    I have to mention that the search help proceeded was CV01T.
    Question:
    can anyone explain why STEP SELECT is not proceeded in FM COM_SE_F4_HELP_EXIT using F4-help in transaction CV03N?
    I appreciate any hint in my "search help combat"
    regards
    Jörg
