Relating to a field inside serch help exit

Hi!
The serchhelp which was created by me has two
fields.
One field is character field (CHAR030). It is not
a dictionary field which is being in any table
or else.
My question is how can I relate to this field
in the serch help exit. For example to check
what a user has input in this field ?
I have to program some abap code inside
of serch help exit.
Regards

hi,
how do you bind my mentioned field with this FunctionModule
F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST

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.

Modify va01 fields in search help exit.

I have implemented the search help exit for Ship to field , based upon the values of ship to field , I need to modify the Sold to field during Sales Order creation.
Can this be achieved ? If yes how ?
Ajay

Hi Ajay ,
1.     go to ship to party data element KUNAG as below:
And assign shearch(NEW) help name: Z_KUNNR
                                        Parameters : CUS
2.     then create search helps:-
2.1.     Search help name : Z_KUNNR(any name as per your standerd)
2.2.     Short Text : Search Help for Kunnr.
2.3.     Search Help Exit : Z_sold_to_party_F4HELP_EXIT(Fuction Module)
2.4.     Other Attributes of Search help are as follows:
Search help parameters:
     CUS TYPE kunnr , DESCRIPTION TYPE     BEZEI40 .
SPOS (Selection Position)     NA
LPOS (Listing Position)     CUS -- 1,
                                                DESCRIPTION -- 2.
Export Parameter     CUS .
Import Parameter     NA
Dialog Type     Display Values Immediately.
Selection Method     NA
2.5.     2. Create fuction module: Z_sold_to_party_F4HELP_EXIT Below are the details of the Function Module Attributes, Import , Export and Changing Parameters, Tables and global data (Goto -> Global Data )
Proceesing Type:      Normal Function Module,
Start Immediate.
Edit Lock     NA
Global Data     TABLES: specify the table from where you are going to get the Sold to party values
Import Parameters      NA
Export Parameters      NA
Changing Parameters        SHLP          TYPE     SHLP_DESCR_T,
                                            CALLCONTROL LIKE     DDSHF4CTRL,
Pass value (Check Box ) Checked for both Parameters.

RECORD_TAB       LIKE     SEAHLPRES,
2.6.
2.7.     Source code Logic Implementation :-
               Select the sold to party value from table into struct_record_tab-string .
               Aftere that goto user exit FORM USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK or
FORM                                                             USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE.
              And add logic to assign sold to party value to the value to ship to party
Thanks and Regards,

My questions is:
Do i have to write something else in some of the STEPS ?
Because i receive the message that the list is empty, but lt_matnr has 397 lines.
I saw that in some further steps, outside my FM, record_tab is refreshed.
There seams to be something missing from my FM, but i can't figure it out.
Can someone help?
Thanks.

Hi there guys.
Thanks for the help and for the ideas.
The answer was allot simpler. It was only needed to add one line

It's true that it was not obligatory to do something in that perform (that's why it's still commented), but still I did not have to change the name in F4UT*.
If there is a special reason i have to change it in F4UT* pls tell me.
Thanks again for you help.

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

Question about searh help exit

Hi all
Can we implement our owen serch help exit , for instance Z_SHL_EXIT, and put it in the search help exit og the sap standar search help , in order to change its behavior or to call another search help.
let say that sap has a search help called CRAMA , but I want to delete some fields and add an extra field to it , then I can create an Z_CRAMA based on CRAMA after my requirement .
I can not change the way of calling the CRAMA and call Z_CRAMA.
Now , would I be able from CRAMA SEARCH HELP EXIT call Z_CRAMA searh help and use it.
Thanks in advance.

For the particular field you have in mind, how is the elementary search help accessed? Directly or via one of the collective search helps? If via one of the collective search helps, you would be better off copying CRAMA, modifying it, then including it as an additional elementary search help with it's own title to differentiate it. Once the users start using it, it will be the default tab that shows up first in the collective help.

Passing two export parameter from search help exit

hi gurus,
i need your help
i need to import two field from search help exit into two screen field.
eg.
parameters : p1 type p1 matchcode id s1,
p2 type p2,
on f4 for p1 i am displaying two field in search help output, p1 and p2.
i am using search help exit FM to pass value from s1, not using any view or table infact extracting data using other function module. i am filling.
what i want , when i make a selection on f4 for p1, p2 should also be filled from the same search help s1.
i allready tried memory id-export option in my search help exit at RETURN event but that does not fits well.
ASAP reply higly appreciated

thanks a lot it worked out by defining search help for structure which contain these two fields.
what i was missing was interface link.

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'

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.

Modify another field value in search help exit.

While creating the Sales Order, the user does an f4 on ship to party to determine the sold to party ( search help exit ), now I have the values of both the Ship to customer and Sold to customer in the search help exit, but I can update only the ship to field of the sales order, do you know how I can modify the sold to value on the screen.
I tried setting up the parameter id 'VAG' in the search help exit with the determined value, but this value is not getting copied in the Sold to party field once the search help is executed.
The other option which is left is export to memory and import to memory in another user exit of VA01. Is there any other alternative? Also which program do I need to do the import of memory so that sold to party is displayed on the initial before saving the document ?

You have to pass the program name and screen number..
In the internal table parameter DYNPFIELDS..
Pass the fieldname and fieldvalue...

Search help exit for field name: BANKL (bank number)

Is there any search exit that can be used on field BANKL to display only some bank based on user defined criteria?
Regards

we can create the search help ..
we dont need to use CMOD or SMOD for this .
The search help exit are implemented as function module (newly created) .
The place for exit in search help is blank but we can assing our exit ( FM created ) into that . Take the F1 help of that in change mode of search help .
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.
well which search help you want to change. and what changes are needed .?
