Issue in search help

Hi,
A search help which has search help exit is attached to a attribute in webdynpro.
In search help exit default values are populated.
When i click on F4, search help appears with default values coded in Fm exit. Selected one and added to personal list.
Now returned to main screen. Clicked on F4. Personalised popup displayed. Clicked on all entries(General value list). Now the defaulted values(coded in FM) are not appearing.
Could some one let me know whether any SAP note is available to fix this? I tried few. Not able to find it.
Steps to replicate.
1. Create a search help exit FM (by copying F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE )
2. Write coding to default values of the screen in PRESEL method
3. Create a elementary search help and assign the created FM to it.Make this search help as Values with restriction.
4. Create webdynpro with an attribute and attach the above search help
5. Execute the webynpro. Click on F4 button. This will now show the defaulted value. Click on search and select one as personal list.
6. Close the window
7. Click on F4. Personalised search help popup will be displayed. Click on view all (General value list).
The default values wont be populated.

Did you check the screen field names & search help name? is it identical & unique?

Issue With Search Help in Module Pool

Dear All,
I have an Issue with Search help. I have created a Module Pool Program. In this module pool, User requires the search helps for the fields.
Imagine there are 3 fields on a screen. Field1, field2 and field3.
Field2 entries depends on field1 and field3 entries depends on field1 and field2.
I have created a collective search help. and created the corresponding Ztables to maintain the search help entries.
Now I assigned the same collective search help to both the fields . i.e. field2 and field3. But when i execute the module pool program, and press F4 on these fields , the data shown is write. BUT for the 3rd field, when I select F4, The second field values are transfered to the screen, instead of third field value.
Any Idea will be appreciated .
Help me , Its very Urgent.

Issue with Search Help Creation

Hi All,
I need to display the match code for the Z table ZPRODUCT and the field is PRODH. The data should be retrieved from the table T179 by filtering PRODH = 'ZZ*' and STUFE = '1'. So, I am trying to create a Search Help for this requirement. But, the field ZPRODUCT-PRODH is of 5 Characters length and the field T179-PRODH is of 18 characters length. As the lengths are not matching, it is not allowing me to create the Search help. Could someone tell me if there is any way to overcome this issue?
Or is there any better approach to create the match code apart from the Search Help. Can we use the Table events for this requirements? Please share your thoughts.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Paddu.

Strange Issue With Search Help

Hi Experts,
I am stuck with a search help issue, when using a certain Help for an input field on my screen i am getting a "Value help dialog canceled" cancelled error , the same search help seems to be working fine
when run from sap r/3.
I am pretty sure the design part (Attribute binding and mentioning the search help in the context ) is correct and how it should be.
Could Someone Please throw some lite on this issue.
Thanks In Advance,
Chaitanya.

Hi Chaitanya,
When reusing DDIC search helps in WDA, it may not always work as desired. Calls to classic screens in search help exits for example is one of the scenarios that works pretty well with SAPGUI but doesnt work with WDA.
The following links may be of help!

Issue on search help

In my module pool screen I have Shipment Number(vttk-tknum) field along with Shipment Item(vttp-tpnum).
Now I have created custom search help for Shipment item (TPNUM). Now the search help for Item should function like: what Shipment no I have selected, it should give the corresponding Item number once I click the search button for item field.
To get that thing I am using FM 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' and I am getting desire list.
Now the issue is:
1) If I select Shipment No and then hit enter and click on F4 of Item then I get the desire list.
2) But if I select Shipment No and click on F4 of Item immediately after that then no list appears.
Why this is so?
I have to get that list without hitting enter key.
Please help me on that and let me know if any more details is required on that.
Thanks

Issues with Search Helps

Hi Experts,
Anyone have any advice or suggestions for this problem?
Problem:
When running standard SAP search helps (let's say search for material by material type - from MM03) the system seems to truncate my last character. For example if I enter ERSA for material type - and look at the dynamic selection criteria all I see is 'ERS'. Thus when I run my search - no results are returned.
It is very odd behavior.
Notes:
- This occurs with standard and custom search helps
- This only occurs with search helps - other fields do not have this issue
- I recently downgraded my GUI version from 710 back to 640. Since then I have uninstalled and re-installed many times - this does not seem to help.

Why don't you try to login thru some other desktop that have SAPGui 7.10 and check whether its working or not.

Search Help Issue

Hi All,
I'm facinng one strange issue with search helps. I have devloped online form in WDA with some F4 helps(I have used "Value Help button from Webdynpro Native) .
If I click search help buttons 15 times, the whole browser is closing with out any warning or error. I have been analysing why it is happening, but no use till now. I have seen browser log using HTTP Watch and Debug Webdynpro application etc.
Did any one face this issue? Is there any parametere setting or something? Or Is any other setting in ADS or J2ee or Adobe or any where???
Any pointer will be really apprecaited. Going live very soon in days..:)... Till now I couldnt realize this issue, infact tested in Dev and QA...but never tried keep on clicking for few times, until user pointed it out..
Can some one also try clicking for 15 times any search help and see , is it the same case?
Apprecaite your response.
Version Details:
SAP ECC 6.0
SAP_BASIS 700 0016 SAPKB70016 SAP Basis Component
SAP_ABA 700 0016 SAPKA70016 Cross-Application Component
Findings:
I was reducing the form size gradually like deleting some script, and fields... then number of hits increasing. I mean now after the changes the count increased to 22 then application is closing..

Ravi

Hi Otto,
I have already gone through that Snote. Nothing related to my issue. Probably I should open an OSS message.
New Findings:
I thought It is the problem with search helps, but after testing rigorously...the same problem with Submit Button. After clicking 22 times the applicaion gets closed automatially...
I doubt some related to Sizing????

Search Help in ECC 5.0

Hi great minds,
I am working on a project in which the most of the programs are copied from another system (Version 46C) a new system (ECC 5.0).
Here I have encountered a issue regarding search helps. In version 46C a Pooled table starting with M (for example M_ZSHLP) is used in the selection method. This table has been generated by system.
This pooled table is used in a program to select the deliveries based on some conditions.
But in ECC 5.0 I cannot creat this table since it does not fall in to the customer name space and we cannot create any table pool I assume.
Can anybody suggest me how to handle this situation.
Thanks in advance.

Issue in custom search help for Suggest Value

Hi,
I have a requirement to have the suggest values pick up the records form any par of the string. Basically, using pattern. I have written the code in search help exit and it work in some cases and doesnt work for others.Eg. The result shows up for 123 but doesnt show for 1234, even though 1234 exists and it had showed up when i keyed in 123.
My select quest works fine and i can see the values in record tab but on the screen. What could be going wrong.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Issue in elementary search help.

Hi,
Facing some issue on Attaching search help directly to the screen Fields.
I have a requirement that
1> Based on a screen field, I have to filter F4 for the other fields.
2> I have to populate 2 screen elements at the same time.
Like:
In my transaction i have 3 fields :
1> PA0001-WERKS : Personnel area.
2> PA0001-PERNR : Personnel number
3> PA0001-ENAME : Employee name.
All 3 have been defined as Dictionary fields on the screen.
Now PA0001-WERKS has its on search help and i use that to select the WERKS.
Then i have to create a search help that takes this as the input and gives me a hit list showing all the personnel number ( and there name) in PA0001 table based on the screen field PA0001-werks.
When i do F4 on say Pa0001-pernr field: a hit list showing all the personnel number ( and there name) in PA0001 table.
When i select a row both PA0001-pernr and PA0001-ENAME should be filled in the screen.
Solution that i tried:
I created a elementary seach help ZSEL_PER and had the PA0001 as the selection table and had the 3 fields as the parameters:
1> WERKS as input
2> PERNR and ENAME as output.
Then i attached the search help to the srceen fields :
1> PA0001-PERNR : Personnel number
2> PA0001-ENAME : Employee name.
Now ,
a> When i do F4 my data does not get restricted as per the WERKS on the screen.
b> When i select a row both the fields on the screen dont get populated, only the field on which i did F4 ( that too always with the colomn 1 only of the hit list )..
Is this possible with elementary search help and if yes then how ? what am i doing wrong...
Thanks, Ad.

SAVE CHECK ACTIVATE.
Next Assign the Search Help to the table or field.
SE11.
Your Table Name : Change.
Search Help Button above the fields.
Search Help name : Your search help name.
Copy.
SAVE CHECK ACTIVATE.
Now go and check to the field by F4.
Thats it.
hope this helps you.

Issue in CATS search help Hit List

Hi All,
At the moment we are facing an issue in CATS .
We have added customer fields in the CATS data entry area by implementing CAT0005 and CAT0002 enhancements.
One of customer filed we have created Search Help by using SE11 in that search help we have given default values in one of field and due to that on CAT2 transaction in the customer filed showing search help and that search help giving 2 records as hit list ( due to defaulting value in SE11 ).
Now when user clicking on Record working time service in that when customer click upon custom filed search help its giving 30 records as hit list u2026( here the search help should give 2 records hit list )
Any idea

note that search help of CAT2 and record working time are different!
these are teh steps
please modify the following in the table TCATS_SHLP_ITS as follows:
1. Execute the T-Code SM31
2. Enter the table name TCATS_SHLP_ITS.
or check the class
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP_GENERAL
or check
CL_XSS_CAT_VALUE_HELP*
take an example from Sap note 914125

Enhancing F4 Search Help Issue - Standard Component

Hello All,
We have a requirement in SRM to customize couple of standard Search helps attached to the Webdynpro components. As such I know the concept of how we can handle this requirement but hitting an issue.
Standard Working scenario -
1) Standard Structure available with multiple fields. Two fields that are of our interest are SH_VALUE and SH_VALUE_LABEL.
2) Standard Search help for this being used has fields VALUE and VALUE_LABEL.
3) In the Structure the both the fields SH_VALUE and SH_VALUE_LABEL are mapped to the Search help VALUE and VALUE_LABEL.
4) In the WD component the node is mapped to the standard structure.
Running the application and the picking up the values from F4 on the SH_VALUE field will return its corresponding value and also map the SH_VALUE_LABEL field with the Label from the F4 since the structure and Search help mapping are there.
So far good when its standard.
Issue I am facing -
We need to modify this standard search help to customize our needs.
1) Did a Copy of the standard Search help and then modified to suit our needs. The output structure of the search is still the same as the standard one.
2) Did a Post Exit in the WD component to call our custom search help through the below code -
data lo_nd_attrib type ref to if_wd_context_node.
data lo_nd_attrib_info type ref to if_wd_context_node_info.
lo_nd_attrib = wd_context->path_get_node( path = `ATTRIBUTES_DATA.ATTR_DTLS_MULT` ).
lo_nd_attrib_info = lo_nd_attrib->get_node_info( ).
lo_nd_attrib_info->set_attribute_value_help( name = 'SH_VALUE' value_help_mode = '121' value_help = 'Z_ORG_ATTR' ).
lo_nd_attrib_info->set_attribute_value_help( name = 'SH_VALUE_LABEL' value_help_mode = '121' value_help = 'Z_ORG_ATTR' ).
Running the application just returns the SH_VALUE field but does not get the data for the SH_VALUE_LABEL.
Is there something wrong in the way I am calling the Custom Search help or should I need to approach this differently?
Thanks,
Nagarajan.

Hi Nagarajan,
Well, you are trying to set the search help to both attributes ( sh_value, sh_value_label) individually and it is having no link between these two attributes
i.e. once you select a value from search help of SH_VALUE, its no where linked that the other details to be passed to SH_VALUE_LABEL.
We generally, do the linking of attributes to search help parameters at structure level as below
So, if you need the same behaviour, then you need to assign the Zsearch help at strucuture field SH_VALUE and link the parameters to both fields SH_VALUE & SH_VALUE_LABEL
In case, if find it not possible to to this way,
You need to populate the value of field SH_VALUE_LABEL upon selection of value from search help of SH_VALUE.
i.e. by registering the search help selection event to an OnEnter action and write the logic to populate the value to SH_VALUE_LABEL
Please refer the below link
Automatically Trigger onEnter event after selecting value from the Value Help(F4 Help)
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Rama
