Reg : Search Help Exit

Hi Experts,
I have some values in record_tab string .Need to display them in order ..needed help .
loop at lt_gril_a01.
      record_tab-string+33(10) = lt_gril_a01-gril_type.
      record_tab-string+43(10) = lt_gril_a01-gril_stat.
      record_tab-string+55(140) = lt_gril_a01-gril_desc.
      record_tab-string+53(1)   = 'A'.
      append record_tab.
    endloop.
now i need to display the same in f4 help how to do that ?

SY-TABIX within a search help exit...

Hallo all,
I tried to find an answer in earlier postst, but did not succeed, therefore this message.
I have built a customtabel with several columns. For one of the columns I have built a custom search help, including some coding in the search help exit. In this coding I want to do a different selection based on the value in another column (BUKRS) of the same table. Do you understand what I mean?
The trick is to retrieve the right value of in the column BUKRS in the same line of the table, at the moment I am pushing F4 for another column.
And I dont know how to do this. I dont have the right SY-TABIX value, so this is not helping.
Does anybody have an idea as how to tackle this?
Kind regards,
Erik

Hello Francois & Holger,
Thanks for the reply, but Iu2019m calling this searh help from the transaction SE16 itself, so I donu2019t have my own table control. I am also using the search help in another situation (from a custom-made screen) and here I can pass on the value via a parameter, but this is not working in the case I described.
So the SY-STEPL is not working too....
Kind regards,
Erik

Help with DYNP_VALUES_READ and DYNP_GET_STEPL in search help exit

Hi,
I'm coding a search help exit for a field on a table control and I need to get access to the value of another field that's on the same line in order to limit the hit list. I can use DYNP_VALUES_READ to return the values from the step loop, but I can't find out which line of the step loop I'm on. DYNP_GET_STEPL always returns 0, presumably because I'm now in a function group and the step loop is getting reset. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

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.

Archer

Populate and display internal table results using search help exit...

SELECT-OPTIONS Values via DYNP_VALUES_READ in a Search Help Exit

Hi all,
I appended a standard search help of a standard report with a search help of my own. Now I am trying to retrieve the values the user has entered into the selection screen of the report using the FM DYNP_VALUES_READ in my search help exit FM. It works fine for single values defined by PARAMETERS and for low and high values of SELECT-OPTIONS (so_example-LOW and so_example-HIGH), but I need the entire SELECT-OPTIONS table. I cannot make any changes in the report, so do you have any solutions I could implement in my search help exit FM?
Many thanks!
Vladan
P.S.
I found several questions on this topic but they either just different enough not to be applicable in my case or the formatting has made the replies useless.

Most of the time we just copy the standard FM F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE to a new one and give our own name.
You can see that on the 12th line there is the following code
* EXIT immediately, if you do not want to handle this step
IF CALLCONTROL-STEP <> 'SELONE' AND
     CALLCONTROL-STEP <> 'SELECT' AND
     " AND SO ON
     CALLCONTROL-STEP <> 'DISP'.
     EXIT.
ENDIF.
you should comment those line in order for the control to reach the PRESEL step (which is already defined in the SH Exit FM) which is on line 44.
Most of the time, when someone says they don't hit PRESEL, this is the problem.

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.

Steps for creation of search help exit for a search help

Hi,
I have created a search help. I need to create a search help exit for this search help.
Please let me know how to create a search help exit as well as how to link it to my search help.

1)Copy the FM F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE to write your own FM. (check the documentation and coding of FM F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE).
2)write your code depending upon the functionality you want.
3)attach the FM in search help through SE11 in "search help exit" field.
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.
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.
For more detailed information please refer to the documentation describing the concept of the search help exit.
The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.

Help needed in search help exit

Hi Experts,
I have used a search help exit in IL03 transaction to include a field in a particular search tab. I have written the code in timepoint PRESEL1 and it is showing the search field in that search tab when I directly enter into that tab.
But the problem comes when I go to some other search tab and come to the required search tab the field which I have included is not displayed.
Please give your suggestions to solve this problem.
Thanks in Advance,
Arasu K

Hi,
In that case. you can do one thing.
in your search help, following field will have the value entred by the user.
SHLP_TAB[1]-INTERFACE[1]-VALUE
Read this table SHLP_TAB index 1 and do your logic.
Reward points if useful.

Dear Gurus
I know i am asking very basic quetion of abap but sdn is the only source to learn sap for me.I want to thanks you all for your kind support.
i read most of the post related to search help and trying to create one.
for elementary search help.

I have doubts regarding to fields "DATA COLLECTION" and "SEARCH HELP EXIT".
reference to a tutorial it is a maintenance view shall i have to reate a maintenace view first.
and other field is SEARCH HELP EXIT what is this.
please help me .
Thanks in advance.
Chitta Ranjan mahato.
Edited by: chitto123 on Oct 8, 2010 5:59 AM

Howdy,
DATA COLLECTION - refers to a database table or view. This is the data that the search help will search through and display based on the parameters provided, so you can create your own view for the search help if you want the search to cover multiple tables.
SEARCH HELP EXIT - You can create a function module to be able to alter the Search Help's selection and results at various events throughout the search help. An example of this function module is provided with some documentation in function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE.
Cheers
Alex

Search Help Exit : Table appears sorted in Search Help!

Hi All,
I have implemented a search help exit to show a custom list of objects. Unfortunately, the list gets sorted somewhere in between the search help exit and the actual F4 display.
Any ideas what I can do tp prevent the sorting? It's very important that the output list displays in exact order that I have in the exit function module.
Thanks!
Roman D.

while passing the changing parameter CALLCONTROL
chk while populating the table make sure that
callcontroltable-sortoff(DDSHF4CTRL-SORTOFF)

'Screen Group' in Screen Painter, & 'Search help Exit'

Hii All,
1. What is 'Screen Group' in Screen Painter
attributes. In which Scenario we will go for it.
2. What is 'Search help Exit'.
Please post your messages and guide me in this topic,
Thanks & Regards,
John.

Hi John,
A Search help exit is something similar to a user exit. Every search help will have an option of attaching a search help exit under the definition tab( when you view the search help from se12).
For example take a look at the search help VMVA - you will notice a search help exit SD_F4_SHLP_EXIT_SUBSHLP_CHOOSE attached to it.
Basically the serah help exit which is nothing but a function module with a predefined interface which gets triggered before a f4 help is displayed. The exit is used to supress or do any other related modification required.
We have implemented many search help exits and the reason is that we have given a custom interface to our business partners to carry out some transaction on our SAP systems. Though we have given them access to our SAP system we also want to ensure that the business partner does not view any additional data in the system. We have controlled this via many ways like using z objects, using authorizations etc. Still once the user has authorizations to any transaction he or she can do a f4 help on any field and see the data which he should not be able to do. So we have implemented search help exits to supress the drop down only for the business partners. We control this based on the unique login id's we have given to them.
So in short it is used to modify the behaviour of F4 help, mostly used to supress the drop down.
It has to be defined in a specific format.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
VJ

Problem in Search Help Exit

Hi Experts,
I have aproblem in Search help Exit. I have added tab to the standard search help by creating elemntry search help and assigned that search help to standard search help. I am calling function module for search help exit. I dont have any selection method.
I am getting the epected results by using the funtion module F4UT_RESULTS_MAP. This funtion module displays all the results list. My only problem i have is when i select the value from the results list the value is not populating in to the field.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_RESULTS_MAP'
    TABLES
      shlp_tab          = shlp_tab

Search help exit for CSH_T003 not working in FB60

Hi. We need to restrict document types per transaction code.
I know we can use authorisations but it would look nicer to actually restrict the list available, so the user can only choose a valid one, rather than choose any but then be told of authorisation problems.
I put a user exit on the collective search help CSH_T003 and also on the individual H_T003 and set a break point right at the start of the user exit, but it does not break in transaction FB60.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use a search help exit in transaction FB60? If it is possible what am I doing wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
Dave.

Hi ,
If you are looking to retrict a specific document type for FB60. You can do so, by customizinng "a/c payable & receivable> Busi Trans > Outgoing invoices/Credit memo>Outgoing invoices/Credit memo enjoy.
Then in Fb60, go to "editing option" and hide the doc type under "Document type option". This will only work if you want to use a specific doc type for FB60.
Thanks
Ron
