Restrict dictionnary Search help displayed values.

Hi,
my problem is that I have to display a search help. The search help already exists in the dictionnary and is defined using a Dictionnary Table.
I need to display the same serach help but I have to filter the results using a range of values for one of the fields and I would like to know how to proceed.
I know that user-exit exists in some search help, it's not the case here.
The kind of solutions I'm looking for is :
-  directly restrict the existing search hellp values
-  found a way to display a search help from abap using an internal table ( cause it's easy in this case to do fill a internal table doing the sql request myself)
- if the solutions above can't apply, doing my own search help in the dictionnary but in this case, I don't know to make this search help for values restriction.
I specify that the screen use the screen painter, it may be important ?
Thanks for your help
best Regards,
Morgan

Hi,
Search Hels exits is only for exceptions, so in our case, we won't use the search help exits, it is better create/change the Custome one and attach the same to the fiels, there you can give the Default value for the fileds, so there you can restrict the values
or else, we have an option like, APPEND SEARCH HELPS, so by using this, we can restrict some field values, this Append Search helps, can be append to Standard Search helps also, so do Append the Standard Search help and add your field and give the Default values to restrict the user
hope you get the answer

  • SAP CRM Search Help - defaulting values in search help screen

    Hi All,
    I am working on search help object in service order(Amount allocation )  BTAMNTALL component view name vIEW:BTAMNTALL/HdrBillplanDet and field name STRUCT.AC_ASSIGNMENT. in that block if we select account assignment type as ERP cost center it will give standard search help in Select account assignment field.
    Its basically calling the standard search help CRMT_AC_ASSIGN_KOSTL_E. After pressing F4 it will display the popup Controlling area cost center and description. Basically I need to default the Controlling area in F4 help based on some logic.I am not sure where to write code for this one.
    Please find the attachment where I need to default the value. any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sapsar.

    At least can you read the document I provided carefully? the point 2.3.1.2 give you the answer.
    Anyway if the document doesn't specify "defining a default value" but give you some ideas/hints, you only need to use a little your imagination. Like:
    1- Use a custom search help with a constant (static)
    2- Use a custom search help with a search exit to determine the data that you need from the sales org of course you need to add the orgunit as an input parameter for the search help and supress the input parameter which will be determined in the search help exit (dynamic)
    3- Create a value node for the context (hidden) and put the info you need once you select the sales org in the hidden attribute/s, this hidden attributes should be mapped in the get_v method (dynamic, not sure if this will work, I never tried, but will be nice if you try and give us some feedback)

  • Problem in Search Help[F4] - Values Not being Dsplayed

    Hi,
    Search help values are not being displayed.
    F4 help pop up is being displayed with the text on top: ' xxxx number of entries found".
    But no values are visible in that popup where it normaly displayes all values for selection. This is happening with all search helps.
    Example: I tried for Tcode: ME21, for field Vendor.
    =><i>No patch has been applied on Server recently.</i>
    Any clue on that..??
    Any help is appriciated.
    Regards,
    Vijay Raheja

    Hello Vijay,
    This is simple as well.
    Go to help then settings and then F4 help. Under system defaults tab strip you will find Display tab strip. Here go to change mode and choose dialog. The other choice will be for control only ( 2 radio buttons only this time around). However to do so make sure you have the authorization object S_ADMI_FCD with value TCTR.
    Ask yoru authorization adminstrator to make these changes. He would be having these authorizations. Normally all  users dont have this authorization as this is part of security audit considerations.
    Please award points if issue got solved.

  • How to restrict the search help given to a field for a specific program ??

    Hi,
    I have one search help which is attached to a field.
    This seach help is using a Z table and showing values perfectly for one program where I attached earlier.
    The same fields and Z table I am using is some other related program where user wants to see the restricted values only.
    I am not getting, how a search help can be restricted.
    I try to take a example of it.
    If in first program the search help values are:
    Material           Level
    Orange              1
    Mango               2
    Grapes              3
    Now in the second program user wants to see only levels not the material. I Have given only two colums for understanding purposes not all .
    Please suggest what are the possible ways we can do it.
    Thanks right now.

  • Search help default value in SE11

    Hello!
    I would like to set a default value to a self-made search help.
    I referred the following link in this theme:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/73/5414f0adbd11d194f200a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm
    This docu tells me, how can I enter default value to a field. But life is not so easy, because I have to EXCLUDE a constant.
    I mean default value can be a constant like this: 'A'.
    But I would like to set one like this: <>'C' to exclude all documents with the status C.
    If I test the help search in runtime it is accepting values to exclude but I would like to pre-set the value.
    Thank you for any answers
    Tamá

    Hi,
    There is no simple solution for this. If you have a view in your selection method instead of the table then you can define your requirement in the selection TAB to restrict based on your conditions.
    Without using a view the other option is to use a search help exit.
    Think view is a better and safe bet.
    Cheers

  • Search Help default value

    Hi experts,
    I want to create a search help for the Material. In the search help I should set some default value like the language and the company. I know how can I set the default language, but how can I say that the default language could not be 'EN'.
    I need to set this one: SPRAS NE 'EN', but I don't know how.

    Hi,
    Create a help view first and include the tables ,in the selection conditions tab page restrict the data entry by adding all the condition such as EQ,NE.GT,LT AND ,OR operator as per your requirement.
    Then add this help view to the selection method in the search help created.
    eg:SPRAS NE 'EN'
    Hope this will help you!!!

  • Query Designer&WAD: Variable search help - Display Key/Text button

    Good day.
    Please, can you write me some solution of my problem.
    I have the character with hierarchy.
    In tab "Business Explorer" of character set display as "Text".
    When i run my query on SAP Portal and enter to search help of character, it is displays text of my ZCHARACTER(not key and text). But name of levels(0HIER_BODE) display key and text... (NODENAME and TEXT).
    When i run query in BEx Analyzer, in search help all correct. My ZCHARACTER and 0HIER_NODE displays only text.
    When i press tech button "Display Key/Text", a see marked "Text". I cannot find the same button when run search help in Query Designer, WAD(or Portal).
    How can i display only texts of 0HIER_NODE? But no [Key] Text.
    Thank you for answer.
    Regards
    Update. Can be usefull:
    View table RSDVDPA with key DPNAM='0HIER_NODE' consist field CHAPRSNT with value = '0' (Key and Text).
    When i change value of table
    UPDATE RSDDPA SET CHAPRSNT = '4'
      WHERE DPANM   EQ '0HIER_NODE'
        AND objvers EQ 'A'.
    All works correct!
    Change this value directly not correct. I think, that it is change of value of parent character. But when?

    I have created own 0HIER_NODE character - ZNODENAME.
    Only root node infoobject is 0HIER_NODE. All another - Z.
    Thanks! ^)

  • Search Help displaying description but returning ID

    Hi All,
    I have a textbox in web dynpro showing description (from table "Description" ) in a textbox after user selected some value from its search help.
    The issue is, instead of description shown (which is correct), I want to process the value selected using its ID (from table "ID").
    Both tables have child-parent relation.
    Unfortunately, both "ID" and "Description" are not key. The keys for both table are GUID (another field).
    Any suggested solution ?
    TIA,
    Tony

    Hi Tony,
        In your search help try using index.
        You can use the index number to select the value.
        I have some sample code, you can use this as per your requirement.
    METHOD add_data .
      DATA : lt_urls TYPE if_main_view=>elements_drp_text.
      DATA : lr_element      TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
      DATA :     url             LIKE LINE OF lt_urls.
    Supply data for the node at runtime
      REFRESH lt_urls[].
      DO 5 TIMES.
        url-key = sy-index + 1 .
        CONDENSE url-key.
        CONCATENATE `www.` url-key `.com` INTO url-url.
        INSERT url INTO TABLE lt_urls.
      ENDDO.
      lr_element = wd_context->get_child_node( 'DRP_TEXT' ).
      lr_element->bind_table( lt_urls ).
    ENDMETHOD.
    Hope this will help you.
    Cheers,

  • Search help: default value for 'Maximum no of hits'

    Hello,
    I have a request from a user to change the default value for maximum number of hits in the search help.
    Any quick hint?
    Regards,
    Michal

    Not sure if this is possible and don't have a SAP system available at the moment ...
    But check this out...
    Is there anything in user profile ..
    or check if the number of hits field has a PARAMETER ID associated with it...
    Then in that case you might default a value other than 500 in your user profile.
    Cheers,

  • Search Help with value on SE11

    Hi Gurus,
    I have two parameters on my screen, PARTNER and PSOBKEY. I have created a Search Help on SE11 for the second parameter, and this search help has that 2 parameters too.
    First I enter PARTNER, then I open the search help for PSOBKEY, and I want the value on PARTNER to be on the search help.
    How I can do this from the SE11?
    Thanks for your help.
    J. Garibaldi

    Hi Garibaldi,
    In your search help the PARTNER should be one of the search help parameters. It should be marked as IMP (Import) parameter. The name of this parameter in the search help should be same as that on your screen. The parameter PSOBKEY would be the EXP (Export) parameter of your search help.
    If you maintain above things, when you enter the PARTNER field on the screen and open the search help of PSOBKEY, the value of the PARTNER screen field would be automatically copied and imported into your search help.
    Please refer to the SAP help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/4f/991f82446d11d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm for more detailed understanding.
