Multiple return values in Customized elementary search help

Hello,
I have a requirement when i select the value from F4 . It should populate the more than one return values in ALV grid in different rows .
Any FM or help search exit is available to do this .
Regards,
kevin

Hi Kevin,
About your first question, for filling several fields of an ALV from a single F4 search help, I think that you should register F4 event to call the search help yourself (F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST for instance), and fill the ALV fields inside your F4 handler method. If you used REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, then I am not sure how you can handle F4, but you can do it using CL_GUI_ALV_GRID or SALV classes. See BCALV_TEST_GRID_F4_HELP.
About the second question, for filling automatically another field in the same row in the ALV grid, it should work automatically, as for normal dynpros, i.e. the search help must have these 2 fields defined as exporting, and these 2 fields of the ALV field catalog must refer to the same DDic structure, the search help must be assigned there to the field, and fill in the 2 exporting parameters too.

Elementary Search help with distinct values. Kindly help!

Hi Experts,
I have to create a search help for Plant field. The Plant field is in a custom table YPLANT_DET. Unfortunately the plant field in this table is not unique.
So the elementary search help will show duplicate plant entries.
How to customize the elementary search help so that I get only distict values on F4 help?
KIndly help!
Thanks
Gopal

Hi,

Multiple return values (Bug-ID 4222792)

I had exactly the same request for the same 3 reasons: strong type safety and code correctness verification at compile-time, code readability and ease of mantenance, performance.
Here is what Sun replied to me:
Autoboxing and varargs are provided as part of
JSRs 14 and 201
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=14
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=201
See also:
http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=316
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/adding_generics/index.html
Multiple return values is covered by Bug-ID 4222792
Typically this is done by returning an array.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4222792.html
That's exactly the problem: we dynamically create instances of array objects that would better fit well within the operand stack without stressing the garbage collector with temporary Array object instances (and with their backing store: 2 separate allocations that need to be recycled when it is clearly a pollution that the operand stack would clean up more efficiently)
If you would like to engage in a discussion with the Java Language developers, the Generics forum would be a better place:
http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=316
I know that (my report was already refering to the JSR for language extension) Generics is not what I was refering to (even if a generic could handle multiple return values, it would still be an allocated Object
instance to pack them, i.e. just less convenient than using a static class for type safety.
The most common case of multiple return values involve values that have known static datatypes and that should be checked with strong typesafety.
The simple case that involves returning two ints then will require at least two object instances and will not solve the garbage collection overhead.
Using a array of variable objects is exactly similar, except that it requires two instances for the components and one instance for the generic array container. Using extra method parameters with Integer, Byte, ... boxing objects is more efficient, but for now the only practical solution (which causes the least pollution in the VM allocator and garbage collector) is to use a custom class to store the return values in a single instance.
This is not natural, and needlessly complexifies many interfaces.
So to avoid this pollution, some solutions are used such as packing two ints into a long and returning a long, depacking the long after return (not quite clean but still much faster at run-time for methods that need to be used with high frequencies within the application. In some case, the only way to cut down the overhead is to inline methods within the caller code, and this does not help code maintenance by splitting the implementation into small methods (something that C++ can do very easily, both because it supports native types parameters by reference, and because it also supports inline methods).
Finally, suppose we don't want to use tricky code, difficult to maintain, then we'll have to use boxing Object types to allow passing arguments by reference. Shamely boxed native types cannot be allocated on the operand stack as local variables, so we need to instanciate these local variables before call, and we loose the capacity to track the cases where these local variables are not really initialized by an effective call to the method that will assign them. This does not help debugging, and is against the concept of a strongly typed language like Java should be:
Java makes lots of efforts to track uninitialized variables, but has no way to determine if an already instanciated Object instance refered in a local variable has effectively received an effective assignment because only the instanciation is kept. A typical code will then need to be written like this:
Integer a = null;
Integer b = null;
if (some condition) {
//call.method(a, b, 0, 1, "dummy input arg");
// the method is supposed to have assigned a value to a and b,
// but can't if a and b have not been instanciated, so we perform:
call.method(a = new Integer(), b = new Integer(), 0, 1, "dummy input
arg");
// we must suppose that the method has modified (not initialized!)
the value
// of a and b instances.
now.use(a.value(), b.value())
// are we sure here that a and b have received a value????
// the code may be detected at run-time (a null exception)
// or completely undetected (the method() above was called but it
// forgot to assign a value to its referenced objects a and b, in which
// case we are calling in fact: now.use(0, 0); with the default values
// or a and b, assigned when they were instanciated)
Very tricky... Hard to debug. It would be much simpler if we just used:
int a;
int b;
if (some condition) {
(a, b) = call.method(0, 1, "dummy input arg");
now.use(a, b);
The compiler would immediately detect the case where a and b are in fact not always initialized (possible use bere initialization), and the first invoked call.method() would not have to check if its arguments are not null, it would not compile if it forgets to return two values in some code path...
There's no need to provide extra boxing objects in the source as well as at run-time, and there's no stress added to the VM allocator or garbage collector simply because return values are only allocated on the perand stack by the caller, directly instanciated within the callee which MUST (checked at compile-time) create such instances by using the return statement to instanciate them, and the caller now just needs to use directly the variables which were referenced before call (here a and b). Clean and mean. And it allows strong typechecking as well (so this is a real help for programmers.
Note that the signature of the method() above is:
class call {
(int, int) method(int, int, String) { ... }
id est:
class "call", member name "method", member type "(IILjava.lang.string;)II"
This last signature means that the method can only be called by returning the value into a pair of variables of type int, or using the return value as a pair of actual arguments for another method call such as:
call.method(call.method("dummy input arg"), "other dummy input arg")
This is strongly typed and convenient to write and debug and very efficient at run-time...

Can anyone give me some real-world examples where
multiple return values aren't better captured in a
class that logically groups those values? I can of
course give hundreds of examples for why it's better
to capture method arguments as multiple values instead
of as one "logical object", but whenever I've hankered
for multiple return values, I end up rethinking my
strategy and rewriting my code to be better Object
Oriented.I'd personally say you're usually right. There's almost always a O-O way of avoiding the situation.
Sometimes though, you really do just want to return "two ints" from a function. There's no logical object you can think of to put them in. So you end up polluting the namespace:
public class MyUsefulClass {
public TwoInts calculateSomething(int a, int b, int c) {
public static class TwoInts {
    //now, do I use two public int fields here, making it
    //in essence a struct?
   //or do I make my two ints private & final, which
   //requires a constructor & two getters?
//and while I'm at it, is it worth implementing
//equals(), how about hashCode()? clone()?
//readResolve() ?
}The answer to most of the questions for something as simple as "TwoInts" is usually "no: its not worth implementing those methods", but I still have to think about them.
More to the point, the TwoInts class looks so ugly polluting the top level namespace like that, MyUsefulClass.TwoInts is public, that I don't think I've ever actually created that class. I always find some way to avoid it, even if the workaround is just as ugly.
For myself, I'd like to see some simple pass-by-value "Tuple" type. My fear is it'd be abused as a way for lazy programmers to avoid creating objects when they should have a logical type for readability & maintainability.
Anyone who has maintained code where someone has passed in all their arguments as (mutable!) Maps, Collections and/or Arrays and "returned" values by mutating those structures knows what a nightmare it can be. Which I suppose is an argument that cuts both ways: on the one hand you can say: "why add Tuples which would be another easy thing to abuse", on the other: "why not add Tuples, given Arrays and the Collections framework already allow bad programmers to produce unmainable mush. One more feature isn't going to make a difference either way".
Ho hum.

Field values are repeating for search help.

Hello Friends.
I have a problem. When I create a search help for a field the identical field values are repeating. What should I do to trigger only the first time.
for example:
<u>Field-name</u>-                        <u>field-value</u>
Supplier Nr ---                                 Commodity
5001 -
                                           casting
5002 -
                                           casting
5003 -
                                           casting
So when I create the search help for commodity it is showing 'casting' 3 times in a pop-up window. It should not repeat. Can you please give me the solution what should I do?

Standard Search Help
The input help (F4 help) is a standard function of the R/3 System. It permits the user to display a list of possible values for a screen field. A value can be directly copied to an input field by list selection.
The fields having an input help are shown in the R/3 System by the input help key to the right of the field. This key appears as soon as the cursor is positioned on the corresponding screen field. The help can be started either by clicking on this screen element or with function key F4.
If the number of possible entries for a field is very large, you can limit the set of displayed values by entering further restrictions.
Further meaningful information about the displayed values is included in the display of possible entries, especially if the field requires that a formal key be entered.
TYPES OF SEARCH HELPS
Elementary search helps
Describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
Collective search help
Combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
Search Help Interface
Search help interface determines how the exchange of values between the screen template and the selection method is implemented.
The search help interface defines the context data that can be used in the input help and the data that can be returned to the input mask. Analogously to the interface of a function module, the search help interface comprises interface parameters.
When you define an interface parameter of a search help, you must also define whether it should be used to copy data to the input help (IMPORT parameter) or whether it should be used to return data from the input help (EXPORT parameter). A parameter of a search help can also have both attributes at the same time.
The location from which the IMPORT parameters of a search help get their values and the screen fields in which the contents of the EXPORT parameters of the search help are returned are defined in the search help attachment. The search help itself should always be attached to an EXPORT parameter of the search help. If this parameter is also the IMPORT parameter, its contents are only used in the input help if it is a search string (that is, if it contains a ´*´ or a ´+´).
You must define the parameter types of a search help. You can do this by assigning them data elements.
Value Transport for Input Helps
NOTE:In the above example, screen fields A, B and C are linked with parameters of the search help. As a result, values can only be transported between the screen and the search help for these three fields. Existing contents of screen fields A and B can be used for selecting the hit list since they are linked with an import parameter of the search help. The values of parameters A and C can be returned to the screen from the hit list since these parameters are declared as export parameters of the search help.
Description of dialog behavior
A hit list might contain plentiful number of entries. A
dialog provides the user with an option to restrict the
entries displayed on the hit list.
In an input help process, the set of possible entries is presented in the dialog box as a list for displaying the hit list. The user selects the required value from this list by double clicking. Since the possible entries are often formal keys, you must be able to display further explanatory information about the possible entries in the list.
If the set of possible entries is very large, the user should be able to define additional conditions for the attributes of the selected entry. Restricting the set of data in this way both increases the clarity of the list and reduces the system load. Additional conditions can be entered in a further dialog window, the dialog box for restricting values.
Specifying the dialog type of a search help defines whether the dialog box for restricting values should be offered and if so under what conditions.
The attributes in the dialog box for displaying the hit list or in the dialog box for restricting values must be defined as internal parameters of the search help. An internal parameter can also be used in only one of the two dialog boxes. It can also belong to the search help interface.
The internal parameter types are also defined with data elements. These data elements define how the parameters are displayed in the two dialog boxes.

Export parameter in elementary search help not working.

I have created an elementary search help that will display all sold-tos for entered ship-to(s). Everything works fine except that the sold-to that is selected from the hit list is not being entered into the customer field on the selection screen.
eg transaction VD03, F4 on Customer, enter import parameters VKORG VTWEG SPART and KUNN2, hit list is displayed correctly and one line selected. I expect that my export parameter KUNNR should now appear in the Customer field of VD03 but its not.
This is my elementary search help definition:

KUNNR              x       3                  KUNNR
I suspect the problem may be with default value KUN against KUNN2, but if I put it against KUNNR, I get a message "No values for this selection" instead of my hit list.
Can anybody give me a clue as to the problem?
Thanks,
Brigitte

I just found out - I had asked my fellow ABAPer to have a look at it and he just told me that he had changed the Parameter Assignment of the Collective Search Help from the proposed one of KUNN2 C KUNNR to KUNNR C KUNNR. It seems that was necessary as well so I'm putting this in for future reference of anybody with the same problem.

Need a Function Module to call a standard Elementary Search help - DEBIK

Hi Gurus,
I need to call the standard elementary search help DEBIK in one of my screen fields. Also I need to filter the values for the Account group KTOKD to Z104 ( transshipment location customers).
Actually i do not want to copy the standard search help DEBIK to custom search help ZDEBIK and give a default value of Z104 to field KTOKD.
Also i do not want to use FM - F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST .
I want a FM which will call the search help directly . I tried using FM - FC_RVERS_SEARCHHELP but did not succeed. Can anybody help me in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Nabanita.

Can you check both FM DDIF_SHLP_GET and 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'

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.

What is commulative search help & what is elementary search help

plese explain me what is commulative and elementary search help

Hi,
1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).

F4 help for Elementary Search Help in collective Search help

Hi Gurus,
I have created an elementary search help 'ZXXX' with fields Partner , KDGRP and KTEXT .For this searh help, I have created a database view for the selection method with tables BUT000 , KNVV and T151.Finally, added this elemenatry search help'ZXXX' to collective searh help BUPA.
When I press f4 on BP , I could very well see the newly created seach help 'ZXXX' in transaction BP.However, the F4 on field KDGRP is missing. I thought the SAP internally determines F4 for KDGRP based on the check table T151 in domain KDGRP but it is not happening. I did try to infulence the values in shlp-interface and shlp-fielddescr using search help exit but it does not work.
Could you help me how do I acheive the F4 help on field KDGRP which is used in an elementary search help and further more in collective search help BUPA on transaction BP.

Hi
There might be some reasons for not getting the F4 value. One reason could be the complete AUTHORISATION for shopadmin given to the user.
Please check the SHOPADMIN authorisations of the user.
Hope this will be helpful

      lv_zp0003_month = sy-datum+4(2).
      lv_zp0003_year = sy-datum(4).
If the month is January the year is set to previous year
      IF lv_zp0003_month = '01'.
        lv_zp0003_year = lv_zp0003_year - 1.

Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

Hello,
this topic is still a problem for me, does anybody have an idea.
Just to show what's my problem:
Collective Search help KRED does include a SAP append-search help ASH_KRED which holds the elementary search helps KREDC, KREDE, KREDM, KREDW.
The search helps KREDE, KREDM, KREDW should not be displayed, so I added another Serach-Help-Append ZKRED_CUST at the end of CSH KRED which holds these 3 SH's with the hidden flag.
That works, the SH's are not shown anymore.
I also added some other of the Original SAP SH's (e.g. KREDA) with the hidden flag and added changed copies of these (e.g ZKREDA) there to be shown instead.
All this can be done modification free by appends.
The folders of the elementary search helps are shown in the order as they are found included in the KRED SH and the append to this SH.
This means that the not hidden Sh KREDC from ASH_KRED is shown before all the "custimized" ZKREDx -SH's. But we need this SH not very often, so that I want it to displayed al the right-most position of the folders of SH's or at the most down postition of the drop-down-selection of SH's.
But I have not found any way to do this modification free.
The only way to archive this is to modify ASH_KRED by setting the Hidden-Flag for KREDC and add this SH at the end of append-SH ZKRED_CUST again.
But I want avoid this modification.
So, is there any way to do this without modifing any of the original SAP SH's ?

database view and elementary search help,

thanx.

HI
An entire table can be included in a database view. In this case all the fields of the included table will become fields of the view (whereby you can explicitly exclude certain fields). If new fields are included in the table or existing fields are deleted, the view is automatically adjusted to this change.
Database view:
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/36/74c0358373003ee10000009b38f839/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/36/74c0358373003ee10000009b38f839/frameset.htm</a>
Elementary search help:

Help view:
Help views are used if a view with an outer join is needed as selection method in a search help.

Search Help: Multiple Return Values in WD4A

Hello,
I would like to fill more than one fields on my WD4A screen when executing a search help for one input field.
So I need to manage somehow to get all the export parameters from the search help and post them to a context node.
Simple example: The customer sales view consists of sales org and customer number. The search help contains both of them as export parameter. So when the user selects one user I need to get and show the sales organization as well.
In "normal" SAP Dynpro development its quite easy as shown in thread
Re: Export search help results to more dynpro fields.
But how can I execute a search help in WD4A to get all the export parameters?
Thanks for you help!!
Kind regards,
Hendrik

Hi,
found the answer by myself.
The solution is:
- Create a structure which contains the fields for the search help.
- then create the search help with all required export parameters.
- Assign the search help to the corresponding field in the structure.
- Create the context node with reference to the structure.
All context node attributes are then filled automatically.

Getting values from screen to search help exit

Hi Experts,
I have created a search help in which I am not using selection method but search help exit. Dialog type is 'Dialog with value restriction'. My requirement is to get the values entered in restriction screen into search help exit. Please suggest a parameter which will hold this value in search help exit function module.

Hi M,
As you know there are 5 steps in search help exit. For each step, the values in parameter of your search help exit is different.
For your requirement, you need process in step 'DISP', and get the selection value from 'SHLP-SELOPT'.
Example:
*Build range for customer number
LOOP AT shlp-selopt INTO ls_selopt WHERE shlpfield = 'KUNNR'.
lr_kunnr-sign = ls_selopt-sign.
lr_kunnr-option = ls_selopt-option.
lr_kunnr-low = ls_selopt-low.
lr_kunnr-high = ls_selopt-high.
APPEND lr_kunnr.
CLEAR: lr_kunnr.
ENDLOOP.
Then using the lr_kunnr range in your select statement.
regards,
Archer
