Disable fields in search help restriction window

Hi Experts,
Here is the situation:
I have created the new search help for material number and assigned this search help in my module pool program.
As soon as user press F4 button on material number , it will display search help restrictions window with 4 fields ( material, material type, plant, plant status).
I have set default value for the material type in search help itself. But I would like to disable this field.
I mean .... user should not enter any other values other than my default value. So I should disable the material type field in searh help restrictions window.
Pls help me.
Thanks

Hi Vinod,
In the FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST, pass exporting parameter callback_form = 'SUB_CALL_BACK'.
Define the sub routine with the SUB_CALL_BACK with below logic
        FORM SUB_CALL_BACK TABLES record_tab STRUCTURE seahlpres
                                               CHANGING shlp      TYPE           shlp_descr

               callcontrol-MULTISEL = 'X'.
         ENDFORM.
Hope it helps.

CheckBox in search help restriction dialog.

Hi Experts,
I have created one search help with dialog value restrictions. Search help contains 6 fields.
Out of which three fields has length one character(Data Element XFELD).
As soon as user press on F4 on particular field, it will display pop-up window with restrictions and displayed 6 fields.
I would like to show that fields(with Data Element as XFELD) as Check Box in search help restrictions pop-up window.
Pls help... How can we do this.
Thanks
Vinod

Hi,
Kindly check the standard search help "F4TESTCHECKBOX". Copy it and change the dialog type to 'Display with restrictions' . On execution, you will notice that -
i) On the restriction screen the checkbox is displayed as textbox .
ii) In list display , checkbox is displayed correctly .
Follow Raymond's suggestion,
You could define your own selection-screen, and display it in a search-help exit : if step = 'PRESEL', display your screen, modify selected values in table shlp-interface and force next step as 'SELECT' to bypass standard selection-screen.

Search help restricted selection

Dear All,
Can we restrict search help to display only desired value.
for example I have two input fields one each for plant and storage location and I want to display possible values for Storage location based on the input plant.
is it possible?
I am using a search help based on table T001L
Can you guys help me on this.
Thanks
Amit

For plant and storage location, this is handle automatically by the standard search helps. I believe you need to use the memory ids to force this behavior. Please try this as it works good in my system.
report zrich_0001.
tables: mseg.
select-options WERKS for MSEG-WERKS memory id WRK.
select-options LGORT for MSEG-LGORT memory id LAG.

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.

Regarding search help for a attribute

Hi All,
I have an ALV, there is a hyperlink for one field, which opens up another Popup for ALV as component usage.
I have one Search help for a field in this popup.
When I open this popup for first time in that session, F4 for the SH, the value is not getting populated in that field.
When I close the popup and open it again, next time the value which I select is getting populated in that field.
Don't know why this happens.
Like OVS, can we have F4 help event custom one for SH so that I can triiger it for first time.
What is the event that gets triggered upon F4 selection of SH.
Appreciate your replies.

Search Help - Restricting entries in standard search helps

Hi, is there any way to restrict entries in an SAP supplied search help? The search help in question is 'SSH_T007A', this search help also has a user exit 'F4_TAXCODE_USER_EXIT'. I'm not sure if the user exit is of any use or how to use it. Ideally what I need to do is to restrict the list of applicable tax codes to only those that we want our users to select. Does anyone have an idea of how to do this with a minimum of customization?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin May

Hi Seshatal,
     Thanks for the input, but this field does NOT have any ON VALUE REQUEST event associated with it ....
   as soon as F4 is hit, it goes to Function help_start ,so I don't think we can make any changes here as it is standard .
   I think including a standard search help will help....how to achieve this ?
Thanks,

Help regarding search help

hi,
i want to know the functionality with example on "search help".
how r they useful?....how r they created??...and how to use them in dialog program??
thanks

Hi Kunal,
There are 3 ways:
1)In the PAI of the screen, add a module Process on value request. For example:
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_100.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD field_name MODULE value_request_for_field_name.
*field_name is the field for which you require search help.
In the Module value_request_for_field_name call this function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'.
2)The above procedure can be used if the field you have defined doesnt have an existing search help.If it already has search help and the field in the screen is taken from the dictionary,then in the attributes,u can check from from dictionary under the dictionary tab.
3)A manual search help can also be created in the se11 transaction by clicking on the search help radio button and giving the table and field name for which search help is required.
Creating Elementary Search Helps
Procedure
In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
Select Elementary search help and choose .
The maintenance screen for elementary search helps appears.
Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
In the Definition tab page enter the selection method of the search help.
You can enter the name of a table or a view (database view, projection view or help view) here. If you enter a table that has a text table, the name of the text table is automatically entered in the corresponding field.
Using the input help (F4 help), select fields of the selection method as parameter in the Search help parameter area. Select the fields that should be used in the dialog box for value selection or in the hit list.
If the selection method is a table that has a text table, both the fields of the table and the fields of the text table are offered in the input help.
The data element of the parameter is automatically copied from the selection method. The data element defines the output attributes and the F1 help of the parameter in the hit list and in the dialog box for value selection.
You can assign the parameter another data element. To do so, select the Mod flag. The Data element field is now ready for input. Then select a data element with the input help (F4 help). Only data elements whose data type, length and number of decimal places is the same as those of the previous data element can be assigned.
This removes the link between the data element of the search help parameter and the data element of the selection method field having the same name. If you cancel the Mod flag, the data element of the assigned table field is used again.
Define the attributes of the search help parameters.
Select the IMP flag if it is an import parameter. Select the EXP flag if it is an export parameter.
You can define the dialog for the input help with the fields LPos, SPos and SDis. Enter the parameter position in the hit list in LPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the hit list.
Enter the parameter position in the dialog box for value selection in SPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the dialog box for value selection.
Set the SDis flag if the parameter should be a pure display field in the dialog box for value selection. The user is thus informed that the contents of the parameter restrict the value, but he cannot change this restriction. This makes sense for example when the parameter is an import parameter or if it has a default value.
You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
Select the dialog type of the search help.
The dialog type defines how the hit list is displayed in the input help.
Save your entries.
A dialog box appears in which you have to assign the search help a development class.
Choose .
Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.
Result
The search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred during activation, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Please check this link on how to create search help.
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/dictionary/shelp/shelp_basic.htm
1) after creation of search help, you can assign this to database field in change mode of table and double clicking of the field name.
2) in screen field, double click to see the attributes and give your search help there.

Hi,   search help     --   restricted value

hi
there is already a search help for a field in one of the transaction codes in fico. i think this search help is attached in code by writing match code syntax.
but my prob is that this search help for the particular field shows 10 char and out of this 10 char i need to show only 5 char from 3 to 7 when the user press f4.
eg. 1234567890 i need to show 34567 only without changing the se38 code.
when user press f4 he gets lots of records and all records should show 5 char only, now it is showing 10 char.
is it possible, if yes, then how???
