Needs to modify entries in search help

Hello friends,
I need to modify some entries in the search help for materials (MATNR). I have found that search help MAT1 is used for materials, and when I go inside then I am not able to get the records in the internal table(RECORD_TAB) that displays in the output.
Also the search help exit is standard, so creating a 'Z' exit and replacing in the search may effect other functionality of standard SAP also. So i need to take care of that as well.
Can anyone help me for finding the entries and where i need to modify them.
Regards,
Grover

But I face a problem because RECORD_TAB doesn't fill and data gets in from some other standard program.
I don't understand 'other standard program' - the elementary search help you are referring to does not have an exit, just a view selection. If you add the exit, then you can stop at the 'DISP' callpoint and analyze the data.
Also in that program internal table that contains entries are in a form of string and not with different fields.
Of course, RECORD_TAB is converted at runtime based on the search help definition. This is why you need to used the F4UT_* helper functions to access the data. Better yet, if you overtake the data selection, you'll have your own internal table that you can analyze before mapping it back to RECORD_TAB.

Choose an entry in Search help and not in its input field

Hi to all,
In my application I have a field with a search help.
I want that this field only can be modified using a search help and this field can't be modified directly writing in this field.
Is similar to transaction se63 - Translation - Abap objects - Short texts - OTR - Source language
I have created an example with the field SCARR-CARRID but this field can be modified with search help and directly, or this field can't be modified.
In my application I have done the following:
-> Screen painter (layout):
Name: SCARR-CARRID
Input Field: not marked
Output Field: marked
Possible entries: marked
Possible entries keys: 2
-> Flow logic:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE IMPORT_DATA_0001.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE EXPORT_DATA_0001.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD SCARR-CARRID MODULE listbox.
PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST.
MODULE listbox INPUT.
TYPES:
BEGIN OF VRM_VALUE,
KEY(40) TYPE C,
TEXT(80) TYPE C,
END OF VRM_VALUE,
VRM_VALUES TYPE VRM_VALUE OCCURS 0,
VRM_ID TYPE VRM_VALUE-TEXT,
VRM_IDS TYPE VRM_ID OCCURS 0.
DATA: name TYPE vrm_id,
list TYPE vrm_values,
value LIKE LINE OF list.
CHECK list[] IS INITIAL.
name = 'SCARR-CARRID'.
SELECT carrid CARRNAME FROM SCARR
INTO (value-key,value-text).
APPEND value TO list.
ENDSELECT.
SORT list BY text.
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
EXPORTING
id = name
values = list.
ENDMODULE. " LISTBOX INPUT
How can i solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Jey:

I think that there is a error that I have not seen because I put a breakpoint at the beginning of your code and the execution doesn`t stop.
Now I execute the dynpro and appears my field 'SCARR-CARRID' and I can't choose a value and I can write in input field.
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot.

Modify behavior of Search Help

Hello all,
I need to modify the behavior of the search help for ORDERED_PROD field
We want this ORDERED_PROD to be based on the service type, for instance, when SERVICE_TYPE = '01', the ORDERED_PROD must begin with '01.'
So, what I want is when the user press F4 for the ORDERED_PROD field, and the SERVICE_TYPE has a value of '01', then the search help for ORDERED_PROD should only show the values that matches '01.*'
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance

Sorry, but I think that I shouldn't
The Search Help is standard, and also de search help exit.
Changing the standard is always possible, but I would like to avoid it.
What I would like is to do what you can do in step CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'PRESEL' of a search help, but I can not modify the search help exit...
Hope it clarifies our problem a little bit better...
Best Regards.

Hi Experts,
I am using Logical Data Base PNP.

This will help me in validating the records for specific employees within the date range of given DATE in selectin period.
As of now it's picking the employees based on the DATE selection of selection screen,

Help view to get two table entries in search help

Hi,
I have created the help view for join two tables and that help view was called in the selection method for creating search help of the custom table field. since it has show inthe selection screen , it is fetching only one table entries. and the shown entries are displaying but not passing.
Please provide the steps to get the two table entries and the displayed entries should pass.
Thanks in Advance,
siva

Hi sivanag,
1. Try your view with SE16/SE16N to see if it really finds what you expect
2. Use the same data elements in help view as on selection screen
3. read documentation and F1 help on all fields you see in the search help definition - especially only field marked as EXPORT parameter will be put back on screen.
But, sincerely, I don't know what your selection-screen looks like.

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.

Rama

Modifying Search Help.

Hi,
We have modified a standard Search help by including our own custom search help by taking a object key. Now it is appearing in SPAU when we apply Suuport pack. But we dont want this to appear in the next Upgrade.
What is the ideal way to do the changes?
Should i Reset to original and append the Z structure to it or Should i modify it directly?
Regards,
Lijo Joseph
Message was edited by: Lijo Joseph Vazhappilly

Hi again,
1. well, im not much aware about search help,
but regarding tables,
a) modifying structure of a table
b) using append structure in table.
2. The difference lies
   in re-constructing the table
   at the database level,
   whenever there is any change
   in future in the database table
3. when append strucute is there,
   the table fields are
   first constructred from the
   normal fields (ie. without any append strcture,
    containing .include etc)
4. Only then the fields of append strucutre
   are added.
5. then old data fields are copied to the new data fields.

How to add a search help on a screen field from screen painter

Hi,
I would like to add an existing Search Help on a screen field in Screen painter.
Of course it's possible to just click on th screen field and in the property box, I just have to set the name of teh search help.
The problem is that I need the screen field to be grey and user musn't be able to change the field value if he doens't use the search help.
I'm not allowed to modify the existing search help or to built it on my own from source code, I must use the existing one.
Do you have an idea on how to do so?
Regards,
Morgan

Dropdown Box:
In the screen painter for that field goto properties -> Dropdown ->select listbox.
Option 1:
Instead let that field be in change mode and if user enters any wrong entry which is not there in the table give a error messgae.

    FIELD addr1_data-country.
    MODULE modify_screenfields1.
ENDCHAIN.
MODULE modify_screenfields1 INPUT.

      ENDIF.
   ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.                 " modify_screenfields1 INPUT
Option 2: Other than if u want the way u like, let that field be greyed out. don't attach the search help.
In the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD addr1_data-region MODULE region_pov.
MODULE region_pov INPUT.
Using the F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST table value request show the search help.
also make that field input enabled.
ENDMODULE.                 " region_pov INPUT
I think this will solve ur problem.

Customer search help

Hello,
i want to add a telephonic search help to the customer search help(whenver we do F4 on the customer field, eg: xd01). what is the name of the customer's search help
Thanks,

Search helps are defined in the data dictionary (txn SE11). I think you have two options....
You can MODIFY the DEBI search help. Modifications to standard SAP objects are not recommended.
SAP also provides a flexible process to change the search help for customers. This is usually done with help from the SD functional person.
First- check the documentation. In the IMG (txn SPRO), got to LOGISTICS GENERAL -> BUSINESS PARTNER -> CUSTOMERS -> CONTROL.
Select the "document" icon at the far left of the DEFINE CUSTOMER MATCHCODES icon. This is the documentation about the search help DEBI (formally called matchcode).
Second- Execute the icon above this entry labeled CHECK SEARCH FIELDS FOR DEBTORS. Here you can select the telephone number (TELF1) from the drop down list.
This needs to be coordinated with your functional team. Normally NAME2 or ORT01 (city) is replaced. This means that the replaced field will no longer be available in the search help.

Enhancing standard (single select)search help for Multiple value selection

Hi,
Standard search help for Business Partner (in cProjects) allows only single value selection for input fields. I want to make this multiple selection.
Is there a way to do it.
I used an OVS and built a similar search but its difficult to get the standard options like saving to personal value list etc in it.
It would be good if there is a way to modify the standard search help to allow multiple selection. Any ideas??
Appreciate your help,
Thanks,
Sri

As far as I know you can't make a standard ABAP dictionary search help return multiple entries - where you get this sort of functionality the searches don't use the standard Elementary search help framework (e.g. organisational structure searches)
Given that the WDA search help relies on these dictionary based searches, I'd think very much that you couldn't enhance it to return multiple. how you could even return multiple entries into a single UI element input field is also confusing to me.
I'd suggest creating a freely programmed value help, it would certainly take quite some effort to recreate those personal value lists etc, but it could be done - I don't like OVS, but that just me.

Adding a new field to the search help exit

Hi friends,
adding a new field to the search help exit. How does it work ?
Thanks in advace
Ilhan

The search help exit allows you to modify functionality of search help. If you add a new field to the
parameter list that is not contained on the selection method you can manually populate it within the search
help exit.
This would be performed within the u2018STEP DISPu2019 section. Once within this section all search help
data has been retrieved and is stored in table RECORD_TAB (record_tab-string) as one long string value.
Therefore you need to read table SHLP in-order to locate position of value within string.
Example:
To find position of personnel number (PERNR) within elemenory search
help M_PREMN you would use the following code:
Loop at record_tab.
     read table shlp-fielddescr into wa_shlp
                                   with key tabname   = 'M_PREMN'
                                            fieldname = 'PERNR'.
You could then use this information in the following way, for
example, to find a persons organisation unit:
      select orgeh endda
        up to 1 rows
        from pa0001
        into (ld_orgeh,ld_endda)
       where pernr eq record_tab-string+wa_shlp-offset(8)
                                                  u201Cpernr length is 8
       order by endda descending.
      endselect.
      select single orgtx
        from t527x
        into ld_orgtxt
       where orgeh eq ld_orgeh and
             sprsl eq sy-langu and
           ( endda ge sy-datum and
             begda le sy-datum ).
If you have added a new field to the end of the parameters list
the next step is to populate it by adding this data to the end of
the record_tab string:
concatenate record_tab-string ld_orgtxt into record_tab-string.
modify record_tab.
endloop.
