Gulrez,

hi,
First create a table Ztable with fields (SRNO, STATUS, DESC).
go to SE11 -Create search help.
To create search help,
1. In SE11,enter a name for Search/help.
2. Then enter the table name for which 'search/help' is to be created in
    the "Selection   method - (ZTABLE) " field
3. In 'Dialog Type' choose "Display Values immediately"
4. In 'Search Help Parameter' enter the required fieldnames of the table(can choose
    field names by clicking search icon).
(in the search help parameter you enter the field name SNRO to get the f4 help)
5. Enable import,export.
6. mark LPOS as 1 and SPOS as 0
7. Save,check and activate.
8. In SE11,in tables object enter the second table name to which the above created
    search help is to be assigned.
9. Place the cursor in a particular field and click 'Search help' icon and it will ask the
    search help name(enter the created search help name)
10.Now the search help for that field is created.So when you create entries for this
     table search icon would have been enabled for the assigned field.

Search help for ztable

Dear Experts,
I hv created 2 ztables. 1) ydept and 2) yemp_msater.
ydept table contains master data and yemp_msater table referecing this table.
I hv created a search help for ydept-dept field. when i run ydept ( SE11) I see the search help with 2 column one is for dept code and department name in other.
And i hv used same field in yemp_msater, but for this table, search help is with department code only. but i want department code and department name as i can see for ydept table.
can any one has idea about how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Jaspal

dear jaspal
need little change at search help level
open your search help in change mode
make all field (in your case 2 field) as IMP
and code as EXP.
now activate your search help

Search help for a field in ztable

Good day everyone!
I want to create a search help for a field. I have a field 'country' in my Ztable. Now I want to create a search help for that field so that they appear in the SM30 transaction while entering the data into the table. How can I do that?
thanks.

First of all if the field is country and you want to display all the countries avaiable in SAP in the search help then yuo dont need to create search help for that. For that field put the data element LAND1. The F4 help will automatically appear in SM30 and when you press F4 all the countries will be displayed in the hit list.
Now suppose there is a case where you want to display selected values only and not all the countries in your search help then one way is to create a z-table of countries and put all the countries you want in that table then create z-data element and z-domain for that country field and in domain give the table as a value table.
Another way is to create a view for T005 and T005T table and give the selection conditions as per your requirement and then create the search help with this view and attache the search help to your country field.

Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
Transaction Code - PP01,
Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
It's urgent.
Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

Hi Pradeep,
Please have a look into the below site which might be useful
Enhancing a Standard Search Help
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/daeda0d7-0701-0010-8caa-

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.

Search Help for Infotype Custom Field

Hi,
I have created a search help for a custom field in an infotype. What would be the best way of filtering the help selection based on infotype values such as molga, begda, endda?
Thanks in advance.
/Elvez

Hi Nishanth,
thanks for your reply, perhaps I should clarify my question:
1) I have a custom field in an infotype
2) I have a table containing the search help information
3) I assigned a search help to the custom field
4) I have activated a search help exit
The problem is that the information that I get from the custom field is not sufficient for making the selection. Therefore, I would like to somehow get hold of the addition information, such as BEGDA, ENNDA, MOLGA, to do a proper selection in the search help exit. How can I achieve that?
I read something about function module DYNP_VALUES_READ -would it be possible to call this function module from my search help exit and thereby reach my goal?

OR
Create a Zdata element in SE11.

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.

Dynamic search help for one field of the SM30 generated maintenance view

Hi experts,
I have one Z* table with three fields. For that table I have generated maintenance dialog in SE55 so I can now run the maintenance in SM30. My requirement is: as soon as a user enters a value for the first field, the search help for the second field should be depended on the value in the first field. Let's say when user entered value 01 into the first field then the search help for the second field should be S_HLP01. For other values entered into the first screen the search help for the second field should be S_HLP02. Both search helps are standard (the names differ).
Is there any change how to achieve this without making completely new dynpro transaction?

Hi ,
You can try it this way.
pass your match-code( search help to function ) HELP_VALUES_GET_WITH_MATCHCODE and get the value and update it in your screen field.
But you have to modify the flow logic in POV event. it would be better if you create your own transaction because once the maintenance is regenerated your modified flow logic will vanish

Creating search help for a field in AdHoc Query

Hi
We have created an infoset based on LDB PCH.
(The infoset contains object type O only).
For the object-id field the users want search help when choosing this field for selection.
Using "start via selection screen" does not give a good solution.
Can anyone explain how I can create search help for fields in an infoset?

Search Help for Vendor Feild not getting populated in the Screen Element

Hi Everyone,
In transaction Miro, I get a POP-UP for Invoicing Party i.e. Vendor and Users required a custom search help.
The Search help for Vendor(LIFNR) is KRED_C and i appended a Z search help under this.
Now that the search help exists and I can drill down the values too but when i select/choose any value, that value is not getting populated in Screen feild.
is there any validation I need to do for this.
Please suggest me... I checked SDN there are many things but i couldn't figure out wat i need to do and where I need to modify.
Regards,
Raj

Dear Hema,
Could you please tell me how many internal tables you are using to store the data for display.
I observerd that you have lt_stock and lt_mat2 declared in the part of the program
>DATA: lv_stock TYPE lty_stock.
>DATA: ltmat2 TYPE TABLE OF lty_mat.
you have displayed above, however you are also using ls_stock and lv_stock .
>IF p_ztotal = ' '. "line
>WRITE 18 ls_stock-matnr.
>WRITE 38 lv_stock-strgr.
>
>ELSEIF ztotal = 'S'.                             "subtotal
    >WRITE: 15 ls_stock-nrmit.
    >WRITE 32 lv_stock-dispo.
    >WRITE 43 lv_stock-fevor.
>ELSE.                                            "total
    >WRITE: 15 'TOTAL'(016), ls_stock-prgrp.
>
>ENDIF.
Are those for displaying some other information?
Also the problem of display you are facing can also be because there are no records to be displayed which satisfies the selection criteria.
Best Regards,
Rajesh.
