Regarding Search Help Exit

I am having a problem in Search help exit.
Currently we have a search help Z_srchlp. In the Selection method of this search help we have a Help view z_view.
In this view we have a join on Tables KNA1 and KNVV. But now the requirement is to fetch some fields(STR_SUPPL1 and STR_SUPPL2) from ADRC table also. I have to write a Search help Exit for that.
The search help is on SHIP-TO PARTY in VA01. In the Output I need to Display the fields (STR_SUPPL1 and STR_SUPPL2) from ADRC based on adressnumber i.e., ADDRNUMBER in addition to what we are displaying currently.
Please let me know How can I achieve it. It will be great help if u can send me the Code as it is very urgent.

Hi,
take a look to the search help F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_CUSTOMER with SE37.

Nicole

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

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

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.

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.

'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

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

Issue Search Help Exit for Material Group

Dear Expertsl,
I developed a search help exit for material group for the search helps both H_T023 and H_2023_MEPO to restrict certain material groups from the actual display as follows
1) I developed custom table to hold the Invalid material groups
2) Developed search help as same as in the bellow link
link:[https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/CaseInsensitiveSearchHelpExitforMaterial+Group]
3) Before the statement
    SELECT matkl wgbez wgbez60 FROM t023t INTO s_t023t
      WHERE matkl IN t_matkl
i selected the Invalid materials from the custom table into an internal table
4)    i am restricting the entries with the following code.
LOOP AT a_tab.
only move values that meet the requirements
after you convert to upper case.
     MOVE a_tab-wgbez60 TO a_tab-wgbez60_test.
     TRANSLATE a_tab-wgbez60_test TO UPPER CASE.
        MOVE      a_tab-wgbez        TO a_tab-wgbez_test.
        TRANSLATE a_tab-WGBEZ_test   TO UPPER CASE.
        MOVE      a_tab-wgbez60      TO a_tab-wgbez60_test.
        TRANSLATE a_tab-wgbez60_test TO UPPER CASE.
      IF a_tab-wgbez60_test IN i_wgbez60 AND
         a_tab-wgbez_test   IN i_wgbez   AND
         a_tab-matkl        IN i_matkl.
        ADD 1 TO findex.
        MOVE a_tab-matkl   TO temp_tab-matkl.
        MOVE a_tab-WGBEZ   TO temp_tab-WGBEZ.
        MOVE a_tab-wgbez60 TO temp_tab-wgbez60.
        IF findex > callcontrol-maxrecords.
          MOVE 'X' TO callcontrol-maxexceed.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
        READ TABLE i_invalid INTO w_invalid
        WITH KEY matkl = a_tab-matkl.
        IF sy-subrc NE 0.
          APPEND temp_tab.
        ENDIF.
        CLEAR temp_tab.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
This is working fine when we press F4 in ME21N Transaction and give some description and then press enter the popup screen.
But my requirement is user will enter some description in ME21N material group field and press enter ( Not pressing the F4 here) at this moment this is not going through the search help exit and displaying all the entries including the Invalid materials.
Note: We can delete the Invalid material groups but the documents which are having the invalid material already will have an issue and need to be corrected all the documents. But our requirement is only to use the correct materials groups from now onwards.
I would appropriate if any one can helping this regard.
Thanks in advance.,
Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
You can call your ZSEARCH_HELP from the PAI , on the event SY-UCOMM = Enter using the function module F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST.
For example, your screen field is MARA-ZXXXX, screen 0100 and search help : ZSEARCH_HELP
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      tabname                   = 'MARA'
      fieldname                  = 'ZXXXX'
      searchhelp               = 'ZSEARCH_HELP '
      dynpnr                      = '0100'
      dynprofield                = 'MARA-ZXXXX'
TABLES
   return_tab                = lt_returntab.
This F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST will call your custom search help exit.

Deepa.

Customer field account assignment - F4 - search help exit

Hi all,
I have a question with regard to a F4 search help exit I'm try to build for a new CUF in the account assignment (include INCL_EEW_PD_ACC_CSF).
I've successfully created everything (search help + F4 search exit (read R/3 table)), but when I want to include restricted the search with certain filter values entered on the screen I'm stuck.
I tried to achieve this by passing the parameters entered on the search screen to the RFC read table function, but in fact I'm not able to read the screen values (using 'DYNP_VALUES_READ'):
CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_READ'
 EXPORTING
 dyname = lc_dyname_1
 dynumb = lc_dynumb_1
 translate_to_upper = 'X'
 TABLES
 dynpfields = li_fields_filter
I'm always getting an invalid dynpro error (I've tried passing SAPLBBP_PDH_ACC, SAPLBBP_SC_UI_ITS, SAPLBBP_CUF,...).
Does anybody know how I can include de filter values of my search screen in my search ?
Thanks in advance,
Kristof

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ? What's your detailed requirement ?
You need to call these function modules inside your search help exit to fetch the user-entered value and then process it accordingly as per your requirements.
Please go through these function modules.
*--- Get the user-entered fieldname
 CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_PARAMETER_VALUE_GET'
*--- Map the Results
 CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_RESULTS_MAP'

How to concatenate fields in Search help exit

Hi,
My requirement is i have to create a search help for a field in cj20n transaction.
when i press f4 on that field i should get a popup of 4 fields from custom table,when user selects any 1 row,
first 3 field values should be concatenated and appear in screen field . in search hlp i added 1 more field so that i can concatenate
all 3 field values and place in it.I can use search help exit so i can concatenate but there are steps like selone,presel etc i am not able to understand .
I saw some examples in wiki, but not able to understand what to do for my requirement.
regards.
Edited by: vnamamala on May 27, 2010 12:22 PM

You would use the step 'SELECT' to control the data selection into an internal table. You would use the step 'DISP' to map the records in the internal table to the search help record table. In your case, I would already have a field in the internal table with the values concatenated together prior to the hit list display (do this in SELECT step) which is not displayed in the hit list but is flagged as the EXPORT field in the search help definition; otherwise just put the field at the end of the hit list.
Map your results in DISP as follows:
*   Map the internal table to RECORD_TAB
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_RESULTS_MAP'
         TABLES
              SHLP_TAB          = SHLP_TAB
              RECORD_TAB        = RECORD_TAB
              SOURCE_TAB        = GT_DOCUMENT
         CHANGING
              SHLP              = SHLP
              CALLCONTROL       = CALLCONTROL
         EXCEPTIONS
              ILLEGAL_STRUCTURE = 1
              OTHERS            = 2.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_OPTIMIZE_COLWIDTH'
         TABLES
              SHLP_TAB    = SHLP_TAB
              RECORD_TAB = RECORD_TAB
         CHANGING
              SHLP        = SHLP
              CALLCONTROL = CALLCONTROL.

Query about Search help exits

Hi experts,
 I have one query regarding search help. I have created a elementary search help which is having two fields.Now my requirement is that in the selection screen when I will enter any value in one field and i will press F4 in other field the list should contain only the values corresponding to the first field.
e.g.two fields comp code and name of company. When I will select the company code and press F4 in the second field the companies corresponding to the particular code should appear. Should I write a particular exit for that.
Experts please help me.
I will reward points accordingly.

Urgent-SEARCH HELP EXIT ISSUE

Hi All,
I have developed a search help exit for the search help-H_T604, for field STAWN-commodity code.
When I logon with the my user id, and press F4 for this field, the search screen appears. However, when I use any other login, I do not get this search option and nor are the value options displayed. Please note that this happens only for the material master(MM03). When we are in transaction ME23N, when we press F4 for the same field(STAWN), irrespective of the user login id, we get the search option.
Please Help.
Thanks and Regards
Veena

Hello Veena,
hav u checked onething. Any of the exit in MM03 does they checked Sy-UNAME. Please check it.

Search help exits

I have a custom search help exit defined in se11, attached it to the screen. It works good when run in test mode from se11. But I have trouble getting it working from the screen. When I debugged, noticed the search help interface is not populated correctly. It just has the information of only the first parameter, while I have 3 import parameters in the search help defintion.We are on SAP 4.7 . Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Is the information populated in the the fields of the database table used in your selection method. What I mean is, does the data exist in the database table that you are using in your selection method. If there is no data in those fields, then of course, it will not show in your search help.

Rich Heilman
