Icon in Dictionary Value Help List

Hi
I would like to add a Status-Icon like 'WEBICON_LED_RED' to the Result List of a Value Help. However, the Result List contains only of 'TextView' UI_Elements. Is there any possibility to get UI-Elements like 'Image' for displaying icons?
Thanks in advance
Daniel

Baskaran,
I think we can do with OVS, by adding new image column. correct me , if i am wrong

How to specify the value help list of a variable?

Hi Gurus
   My requirement is like this. The query has at least two fields( manager and employee). A group of employees belong to a certain manager. When an employee is going to run the query, he will fill an employee number into a variable so that the information of the employee will be displayed in the query. My question is that is it possible to display all the employees of the same manager when the user trys the value help of the variable? Right now, the list of all employees will be displayed. I just want the ID list of employees of the same manager will be displayed.
for example: here is the data
manager              employee
A                          101
A                          102
A                          103
B                           104
C                           105
C                           106
C                           107
IF user 105 runs the query and he clicks on the value help button of the varibale, only 105, 106, 107 will be displayed for him to choose instead of list of all employees.
if is possible? how to? thanks

Hi Stephen Xue,
I think it can be done through Compounding option in the maintenance of the characteristics. Make the Manager as the compounding attribute of Employee. I am not sure about it, but have a try on it.
Hope it helps.

Authorization on Value Help?

Hello,
I've set up 0EMPLOYEE as an InfoProvider. I have an authorisation object on 0COMP_CODE which restricts who can see which employees. This works fine in the queries. However, if I create a query with a restriction based on an employee variable and then go to the value help then I get a list of all the employees with their annual salaries.
How do I get the authorisation to apply to the value help list??

Value help dropdown list not showing up other values

Dear all,
I'm new to Adobe and Java WD. I managed to go through all the tutorials and developed a WDJ and embedded an interactive form in the view. I also used an RFC Model to pull some values from n R/3 table and populate in a context node element.
These values are appearing perfectly fine in the WDJ if I'm using a table or a drop down list index field.
But in the Adobe form, when i bind this context node to a WebDynpro native Value help drop down list box, only the first value of the table appears. On clicking on it, nothing happens. I'm not sure what is the problem.
Can anyone please help me in this? Should i write some code to bring the other values too? (the tutorial doesn't say this!)
If so, then please give some sample java codings and step by step process for populating the field values with the table values.
My node structure is like below
Context
     Ysam_Get_Values_Input(Node-RFC)
          Output (Node-RFC O/P)
               Values(Node-table from the RFC)
                   Slno (attribute that has the values to be populated with)
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How to set a default value in a Value Help Drop Down List

Hi,
I used an age Range field in my adobe form, the control is a Value Help Drop Down List. i am populating the drop down using following code.
IWDAttributeInfo ageInfo = wdContext.nodePersonalData().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("CTAgeRange");
     ISimpleTypeModifiable ageType = ageInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
     IModifiableSimpleValueSet ageValueSet = ageType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
     ageValueSet.put("1","21-29");
     ageValueSet.put("2","30-34");
     ageValueSet.put("3","35 or Above");
My requirement is to set a default value e.g. 30-34 in the age range field.
I want to give input to iform from my Implementation code only.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

hi Ranjan,
that means you have to set at design time,
to set default drop down value you will have to set the value for particular attribute (which is linked to the dropdown element) in the context
like
wdContext.currentContext<nodeName>Element.set<FieldName>(<default value>)
This generally done in Initialization method of the controller.

Entry list or value help?

Hi Experts,
i need a input box or a combo box for an entry field. For example this field should have an input assistance and should accept other values. For example i have a combo box for a licence number of a vehicle. So it must be possible to give value help or the user could enter his own licence number with is not in the help list. At the moment i use a dynamic entry list which get the help values by a webservice.
Now i had the problem when a user enters a value which is in the list. In this case he get a validation error an he must select a value of the list for go on. In the configure of the combo box the setting "validation reqiured" is false!
Many Thanks!

Hi Dirk,
If I get you correctly, you would like the end user to type in the Vehicle number / select from the list, When typing in the number there is no validation!
This can be achieved with input box and a button in melting group. Something like [this|http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/8800/example1vq3.jpg]
On click of the button you call the web service which would have the available licence details in table....
Let me know if it helps...
Best regards,
Dharmi

F4 Help list not showing values when a BEx 7x workbook is refreshed

Hello All,
Hope you are doing good. I have a very peculiar behaviour with F4 functionality of a variable while refreshing a workbook and thus requesting for your help.
The workbook contains two queries. Both of these queries contains a common variable (of common characteristic).
Info_Provider
Query_Name
Characteristic_Name
Variable_Name
Multi_Provider_1
Query1
Char1
Var1
Multi_Provider_2
Query2
Char1
Var1
When Query1 and Query2 are refreshed individually, the variable Var1 (basically a plant variable) shows the help list values.
But when the workbook is refreshed (that's when both the queries gets executed together with a common variable screen) and
upon clicking the help list of the variable Var1 doesn't show any values.
Additional Info:
1. Both the variables are configured to show data from Master table.
2. The same set up works fine in 3x and also for other similar variables.
Has anybody come across of this situation? If so, what is the issue and what was the solution?
Pls share.
Thank you.
Lohith

We recently had a similar issue with a variable... turns out the RSR_VARIABLE_F4_RESTRICT_BADI BADI was activated for this variable (and the code was no longer "valid" with the current situation).
You may want to check whether you have that BADI activated.

Dynamic value help for a table field to fill two fields, how to?

Hi all gurus,
In SRM 7 I defined a dynamic value help for a single field (ZZ_PROLE_R3) of my header custom table.
That's the code from WDDOMODIFYVIEW in the webdynpro /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_CT, view V_DODC_CT:
DATA: lo_tabnode        TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE.
      DATA: lo_tabnode_info   TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO.
      DATA: tab_value         TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LIST,
            wa_value          TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
      lo_tabnode = wd_context->GET_CHILD_NODE( name = 'THCUS' ). "the custom table node
      lo_tabnode_info = lo_tabnode->get_node_info( ).
      wd_this->GET_VALHELP_ZZ_PROLE_R3( EXPORTING iv_guid = lv_guid
                                        IMPORTING ZZ_PROLE_R3_VALHELP = tab_value ). "this method returns the dyn value table
      lo_tabnode_info->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'ZZ_PROLE_R3'
                                                 value_set = tab_value ).
The method GET_VALHELP_ZZ_PROLE_R3 dynamically builds the value help table tab_value; such table is made up by two fields:
value : contains the value of the field
text   : contains a description of the value
The above solution works; now I'd like to enhance it. The custom table THCUS contains also a field called ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC, which represents the description of ZZ_PROLE_R3. It is, exactly, the TEXT field in tab_value.
So I'd like to do as follows:
- the user clicks on the search help for ZZ_PROLE_R3 field of the table;
- the above described value help appears;
- after the selection, both ZZ_PROLE_R3 and ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC are filled with the selected couple value - text chosen from the value help.
Could anyone help me achieving such a behaviour?
Again, a little request... when I open the above value help dialog box, the window itself has a label "Floorplan Manager application for OIF.." that obviously I'd like to redefine (e.g. "Role selection value help"). Is there any way to do that?
Thanks in advance

It seems to me - given that your code is in wddomodifyview that you are trying to have different dropdowns per row

Hi Chris and thanks for your help,
lv_guid is the GUID of the document's header; I need to pass it to the method that populates my value help table because the values in it are derived from some fields on the document. (the situation actually is more complex; there's an RFC call on the backend for which the document is intended for to retrieve the data that populate the value help...).
I'm quite unexperienced on webdynpro and terminology; if dropdown menus are fixed selection option that appears on a field, I guess this is not my case. I did a pair of screenshot to provide an idea of what the solution by now is, and what "I would like to have":

Chris Paine wrote:
However - by your comment on the "value help dialog box" I am guessing you are using an input field? If this is the case then I would strongly suggest that you change/enhance the structure of the context node THCUS (btw, better coding practise to refer to it as wd_this->wdctx_thcus when using the get child node construct) so that you refer to an actual SAP ddic search help, if you then associate in the structure the value and text fields then populating the text field should happen automatically. Also you'd have the nice side effect that your value help dialog would be named after the associated ddic search help.
Thanks for the code suggestion, I'll apply that. For what concerns the context node THCUS... It is, by standard, a node which I can't explictly find in the context for the view V_DODC_CT. The problem is that ZZ_PROLE_R3 and the corresponding description field ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC of the table must be filled with data retrieved dynamically @ runtime from the backend. So I guess I can't populate a val help referring to a dictionary table/field; I'd rather do as follows:
- retrieve what's the target backend for the document (to do so, I have to process the document .. that's why the header guid passed to my method);
- RFC call to a custom method that extracts possible values for the specific backend;
- bind the ammissible values to the value help.

Using Wildcards in Value Help

Hi,
I have a input filed ZPERNR and i have assigend PREMN search help on this field.
I am able to search people in the organisation and it all works great until I use wildcards
When I enter SMITH in the last name in the value help it comes back with the list of people whose last name is SMITH
Problem:
When I enter SMITH* in the last name I get no results
In the SQL trace I noticed it changed my SMITH* to smith%
Not sure if there is any sap note to this issue
Any ideas?

Hi Jörg,
Yes the icon (Pattern) does appear after I enter, however I still don't get any results.
The weird thing is the value help works perfectly alright in r/3
Not sure why it is not working for me in the portal.
Thanks for your reply

Problems with F4 Value Help in NW2004s Portal

Hello,
we are having some troubles with the F4 ValueHelp Extension from the Advanced BSP Programming book (and the blogs of course).
We've implemented the solution on a 4.7 backend and portal 6.0. No problems there, everything was working fine.
We now moved to erp2005 (WebAS 700) and NW2004s Portal (7.0).
The popup shows and I can select entries from the list. But when clicking the ok icon a javascript error is thrown stating that 'parent.document.getElementById(...)' is null or no object.
I think the problem is, that by making a call to 'parent' we are searching in the portal frame and not the BSP. There (in the portal frame) the element is not known so the error is thrown.
I allready changed from the dialog_ie6.js provided on the BookCD to the one delivered by SAP. Did nothing regarding the error.
I also tried changing ZCL_BSP_M_INPUT_HELP->BUILD_ACCEPT_SELECTION_SCRIPT. I changed all the "parent.document.get..." "to document.get...". The error message was still the same, 'parent.document.getElementById(...)' is null or no object.
So now I'm kind of stuck. If I try the example outside the portal everything works as expected. So this clearly seems to be a problem with the portal integration. All involved BSP-Apps are marked as "supports portal integration".
Any ideas on this topic?
Thanks and kind regards,
Alexander Sperling

I have a working solution to the problem. It isn't the nicest solution because it will probably require some modifications to the application that hosts the value help, but we will get to that in a second.
I tried many different ways to come up with a solution that would still work via JavaScript. The portal is now loading the popup javascript in the master frame. It registers event handlers so that if any application triggers a popup internally it "hi-jacks" the event. So regardless of what I change in the BSP javascript library, it gets overriden by the portal one. The portal also now even enforeces its theme on the inner page in the popup. Truly the portal takes complete control over the inner html of the popup.
To make things worse the popop has not path to reach the source that triggered it. The source objects are tracked in the javascript, but because the master frame takes over; the popup window only has access and visibility to the master frame and the navigation frame. In essence in the DOM it is now higher in the stack than the object that actually triggered it.
Web Dynpro gets around this because it doesn't use any client side mechanisms to communicate it results back to the source frame. Web Dynpro has the luxury of always being stateful and therefore can make certain assumptions that would never work in BSP. The hi-jacking is an excellent solution for Web Dynpro. The portal can then override the functionality of Web Dynpro - providing the new functionality of floating the dialog box over the entire portal - without having to make any changes to the Web Dynpro Framework. However they never had our little BSP solution in bind obviously.
It might be possible to completely rewrite the popup_ie.js and popup_ns.js to use all different event, method and variable names. This separate version could then provide complete separation from the portal script. However this is just a theory. I'm afraid that I wouldn't have the bandwidth to rewrite the entire script right now so I focused on a quicker solution.
The only approach that I could come up was to follow the Web Dynpro approach and return to the server with the value. To do that I used Portal Eventing. Portal Eventing allows us to pass a value to the source frame regaurdless of our relative positions in the DOM.
In my inner BSP application for the value help (ZES_VALUEHELP), I made the following change in the model method BUILD_ACCEPT_SEL_SCRIPT_V2. At line 141 I changed the logic. Instead of using JavaScript to write the selected value back into the source element, we will just trigger a Portal Event:
****With an InputField we write the contents directly back into the element
      ELSE.
        CONCATENATE me->js_close1
        `portalFireEvent('com.sap','`
        me->element_id
        `',"`
        key
        `");`
         INTO me->js_close1.
        EXIT.
The other change is within the Element handler class for inputHelpV2 - ZCL_ES_BSP_ELMNT_INPUT_HELP_V2. We need to register the listener for the Portal Event. Therefore in DO_AT_BEGINNING we will add the follwing at line 23 (right after we place the Element Id into the URL Parameters Table.
data: portal_event type ref to cl_portal_event.
portal_event = cl_portal_event=>factory(
    name = <wa_params>-value
    namespace = 'com.sap' ).
while m_page_context->element_process( element = portal_event ) = co_element_continue.
endwhile. "End portalEvent Render
Overally using the portal eventing actually is an intersting approach. There is only one drawback, now we have a server side event. That being the case, our application now needs some event logic to process this event and populate the value. Depending upon if you are using MVC, Data Binding, or Flow Logic this could vary - and would have to handled by each application. The nice thing about the old approach was that it all happened via JavaScript on the Frontend and didn't require the application programmer to do anything - that was obviously its weakness as well.

Value help - exporting parameters

Hello,
I am having difficulty exporting the vendor name in addition to the vendor number using search help in web dynpro ABAP.
I have looked at the SAP help (linked below) and read through some of the threads on value help before posting but have had no luck.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/47/9f724642314aabe10000000a42189b/frameset.htm
Here are the steps I've taken:
I've created a context node with dictionary structure LFA1 with two attributes LIFNR and NAME1. The input help mode for LIFNR is automatic and the search help is KRED_C.
I've gone into KRED_C and added an export parameter NAME1 and maintained the parameter assignment to KRED_T.
In search help KREDA I've changed the Selection method from M_KREDA to ZM_KREDA and added the NAME1 field in view ZM_KREDA. I added a search help parameter (EXP) name1 to KREDA and maintained the parameter assignment between KRED_T and KREDA.
When I test the web dynpro, the search help displays name1 in the hit list, but when I make a selection, only LIFNR is populated and NAME1 is not.
I've also tried using KRED for my LIFNR search help instead of KRED_C with no luck.
I've looked at the sample program WDR_TEST_DDIC_SHLP but can't see what I might be doing wrong.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gordon

Hi
You can directly aply the OVS to the field KRED_C.It is easy also..
Use the std component WDR_OVS in the used components.
Go to particular attribute and change the input help mode :Object value Selector
and OVS componet usage: <aliias name of std component>
then create event handler in methods tab and then bind the standard event(OVS) of std component to this event handler
In coding in place of kunnr ,name change to lifnr ,KRED_C

Custom Error Message in Value Help

Hi,
In my application i have a Inputfield called "CLASS", for which i have added a value help..it has these values
B    Business
E    Economy
F    First Class
When the user enters a value(say "X") other than B, E, and F, it displays a message
<b>String "X" does not match the enumeration</b>
I want to put my own message like " Please enter a valid value" instead of the above message.
Please let me know how to do this ?
Thanks
Senthil

Senthil,
First, "looping through the list and checking the user entered value with values in the list" is possible only with non-validating actions. Using non-validating actions is a tricky task in real life.
Second, workarounds are possible, but they involves calculated attributes (like here: /people/valery.silaev/blog/2005/11/29/800format-your-way). Solving this problem generically (45 attributes is a good number to start with a generic solution) will result in solution with complexity comparable to this: https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/3309.

Hide Toolbar and Value help drop downlist

Hi,
I created a IF with a Value help drop down list. I also make use of the Hide Toolbar options. The drop down list has an input like:
key - text (eg. 0001 - Holiday)
The pdfMode is "UpdateDataInPdf".
When i run my wd everything works fine. What i want to do is this: when the user push the button "next" i want to show the IF in a read-only mode. What i did, is that when the user push to button i change the PdfMode from "UpdateDateInPdf" to "GeneratePdf" (also tried "UsePdf") and change the "enabled" property to false.
What happens is, the Adobe toolbar is back and the value help dorp downlist shows the key instead of the text.
If i don't change the "enabled" property it works well, but than it's still possible to change data in the form.
I am using NW04 SP16.
Hope somebody can helps me.
Kind regards,
Maarten Duits

Hi Maarten
in general, right now there is no standard (i.e. non-hack) way to make a physical interactive PDF form read-only.
The only sure way this would work in your process is to send the data back to the backend and have a second (practically identical) template ready in the background to generate a read-only version of what the user saw previously.

Date format is not working properly for Calender value help

Hi Experts,
We have two problems.
1. We want to change the format of date displayed. We want format of dd-MMM-yy. For that we have created one Simple
Type Dictionary Object with Displaying format dd-MMM-yy. It is working
fine for the non editable UI. But once I apply the dictionary type
object as data type for an input field, probem happens. Once the user
choose a date from calender value help the value in the input field is
coming like 01-011-12 not like 01-Jan-12.
The date format is not changing from the calender. But if we set the
display format of the dictionary object to MM-dd-yy or MM/dd/yy or
dd/MM/yy or dd-MM-yy the format conversion from calender to input field
is happening properly.
The only problem once we put MMM in place of MM for the input field
where user is selecting from a calender value help.
2. We want to restrict users from entering the value manually for date input field. The user
should be able only to enter value by selecting from calender value
help.
Please give suitable solution for these problems
Thanks
