Its a very urgent task, can anyone please suggest!!

Question

Hi Everyone,
I have a proposal for the find and find next in my screen. Need some help for you people.
In the screen i have around 3 grids, so in the standard toolbar if I press this find button it has to loop through the screen, loop through the grids then columns in the grid and find for the specified string.
So how do I achieve this. Any help will be great use to me.
Thanks in advance,
Prabs.

Hi
You can use a routine like this:
PARAMETER: p_search(80) LOWER CASE.
DATA: length_string TYPE i.
length_string = STRLEN( p_search ).
DATA: itab1 LIKE vbrk OCCURS 0,
      itab2 LIKE vbrp OCCURS 0.
DATA: gt_fieldcat1 TYPE lvc_t_fcat,
      gt_fieldcat2 TYPE lvc_t_fcat.
DATA: rc_search TYPE sy-subrc,
      record    TYPE sy-tabix,
      colunm    TYPE alv_s_fcat-fieldname.
START-OF-SELECTION.
  PERFORM search_in_table USING    itab1[]
                                   gt_fieldcat1
                          CHANGING rc_search
                                   record
                                   colunm.
  IF rc_search <> 0.
    PERFORM search_in_table USING itab2[]
                                  gt_fieldcat2
                            CHANGING rc_search
                                     record
                                     colunm.
  ENDIF.
FORM search_in_table U
           SING    p_table    TYPE table
                   p_fieldcat TYPE lvc_t_fcat
          CHANGING rc         TYPE sy-subrc
                   tab_idx    TYPE sy-tabix
                   field      TYPE alv_s_fcat-fieldname.
  DATA: lt_fieldcat TYPE alv_s_fcat.
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <table>       TYPE table,
                 <wa_table>    TYPE ANY,
                 <field_value> TYPE ANY.
  DATA: string                 TYPE string.
  DATA: tabix                  TYPE sy-tabix.
Init
  rc = 4.
  tab_idx = 0.
  CLEAR field.
  ASSIGN  p_table[] TO <table>.
  LOOP AT <table> ASSIGNING <wa_table>.
    tabix = sy-tabix.
    LOOP AT p_fieldcat INTO lt_fieldcat
                                    WHERE no_out = space.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT  lt_fieldcat-fieldname
                      OF STRUCTURE <wa_table>
                                     TO <field_value>.
Convert field in a string
      MOVE <field_value> TO string.
Check string:
      IF string CS p_search(length_string).
        field = lt_fieldcat-fieldname.
        tab_idx = tabix.
        rc = 0.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    IF rc = 0. EXIT. ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.                    " SEARCH_IN_TABLE
In your bar create an SEARCH icon, and when the user press it, a popup for searchin is displayed, you could use the FM ALV_POPUP_TO_SEARCH2 (as Raja has written).
