Screen painter search help

Hi All,
I have created a custom search help and assigned it to a filed in the screen painter. This field provides me the F4 help, but when i manually enter some other data which is not present in search help it will accept it.
How to configure so that when we enter any data which is not present in search help it should throw an error.
Thanks,
Mars

Hi,
You created a Elementry search help and attached to a field in screen. Is it right then -
In PAI use chain ... endchain. Inside call a module in which, Select query from a table for a given input .
If it not get selected , use a error message 'E' which won't allow to proceed untill a value entered is correct.
If the field in not a manditory , check only if the field is not initial.

Screen Painter - search help for field

Hello All,
I have some fields in a screen created with Screen Painter.
The filelds's types are standard system types like BU_PARTNER or other.
How do I have to define them so that in the screen to appear the match code?
Thank you very much,
Diana.

Hi Diana Cotelea,
You can use standard search help 'BUPA'.
Do as follows,
1. Goto 'Dict' tab of the property of BU_PARTNER field in your screen, in 'Search Help' property enter the search help name 'BUPA'.
2. Goto 'Program' tab, for 'Poss. Entries Key' property select 2 or 3 from its DropDowm List values.
Try this.

'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

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.
regards,
Archer

Screen element search help

hi all,
i set input/output field search help in screen.
when i choose one of the values in f4 help i hav to do modify another screen element how to do it.
please reply if u know..
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Attaching a search help to a screen element
A search help can be directly assigned to a screen field in two ways.
The name of the search help must be entered in the Screen Painter in the Attributes for the field in the field Search help.
The name of the search help can be defined for selection screens in ABAP reports in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement directly following the supplement MATCHCODE OBJECT.
However, input help is only available for this particular screen.
In this case, the search help is only available for this screen.
OR by useing FM
refer this code

Can we add some Heading and Subheadings to it?
If yes, please let me know how can we do this.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Well, the code you posted won't pass a syntax check. You have an extra form statement, a missing endform statement and an extra endcase statement.
But have you put the assignments to ti_estejec in the INITIALIZATION event??

How to pass the default value to search help selection screen

Hi

Hi Arun
I'm using SE11 search help.I'm giving you my code for your reference here.
DATA:

ls_map-context_attr = 'struct.zzattr_i_1'.
ls_map-f4_attr      = 'ATTRIBUTE'.
APPEND ls_map TO: lt_inmap,lt_outmap.
CLEAR ls_map.
ls_map-context_attr = 'struct.zzattr_i_1'.
ls_map-f4_attr      = 'SERVICE_LINE'.
APPEND ls_map TO: lt_inmap.

      iv_input_mapping            = lt_inmap
      iv_output_mapping           = lt_outmap.
Here 'ZATTR1' is my search help name in SE11 and the field which is having 'F4' help is 'ATTRIBUTE'.
Now when I press 'F4' on 'ATTRIBUTE' then it will give a popup and this popup is having 3 fields..
1.'ATTRIBUTE'
2.'SERVICE_LINE'
3.Description of 'SERVICE_LINE' and hence by pressing 'F4' i should get a value in the field 'SERVICE_LINE' based on
   a condition.
However, if there is a value for ATTRIBUTE on the screen and when we press 'F4' on this then in the popup the value of
ATTRIBUTE which is there on the screen is appearing in the 'ATTRIBUTE' field and the same value is being copied to
'SERVICE_LINE' field in the popup.
Please guide me how do we populate the value to 'SERVICE_LINE' field inside the search help popup of 'ATTRIBUTE'.

Search Help CALL SCREEN

Hi Guys,
please.. How can a Search Help call a SCREEN ?
I have a problem in a ABAP WebDynpro app, apparently because the search help is calling a SCREEN from the program SAPLSZA1.
This is the error message:
"Sending of dynpro SAPLSZA1 0201 not possible: No window system type specified"
The search help is KRED.
Any idea??
Thanks!

Hi,
it can call screen using search help exit. KRED is a collective search and for example it contains search help KREDY. This search help uses exit F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_VENDOR_FUZZY. It is just a function module.
Cheers

Skip Search Help Screen

Hi All,
I have a standard SAP ABAP dictionary Search help. I want to execute that search help programmatically and get the return values in a internal table. Please note that I dont want the pop-up's for the Selection screen of Search help. Also I dont want the return values to be displayed as pop-up. I want the return values in internal table. Any suggestions to do this?
Thanks & Regards,
Mayank Agarwal

Hi,
If u don't want search help pop up screen, then no need to go for search help.
Anyway search help also doing database retrieval only, it is fetching data from database.
so u can directly fetch the data from database and put it into an internal table.
The execution time also will be reduced.
What u have to do is , analyse that search help from which table it is fetching data at wat condition.
there will be a search help exit for that search help in the elementary search help . This exit is FM.
In this FM They might have done validation or check that elementary search help to get the fields displayed on the pop up and the table from it is fetching the data.

Need Search help to appear on Multiple Value Screen - Monitor SC

Hello All,
We have a requirement where we need to add a new field in Monitor Shopping Cart screen. This field is at the item level and should be able to take in multiple values.
The problem we face is - On getting the multiple value screen, the search help for the field is dissappearing.
We already have a standard field 'Purchase Group' for which this functionality is provided and the search help works for the multiple value screen.
Please provide any pointers to how to fix the problem. Would the problem be on the ABAP side or the HTML side?
Thank you.
Johnson

Hi,
Jsut to see in the error is on abap side, sign on in SRM sapgui and run /n then bbp_mon_sc to enter the monitor SC application.
Navigate till your Zdevelopment field and check it
Kind regards,

Do we have search help facility in variable selection (F4 help).

Hi All,
At my client place users are comfort with R/3 search help (F4), and looking for the same feature in Bex Reporting. Is it possible to have the same kind of feature in Bex reports.
Example.
In R/3 T-Code MB5B, user searches with material description or with some other options like sales material by general product hierarchy. Can we get the same kind of feature.
And my client says that if we drop down for material it is taking huge amount of time to display the material numbers and description, we want to know how to reduce the time for displaying the material or customer master data text in variable selections.
In Bex we are aware of material text is going to display as small or medium or long descriptions, when we drop down.
Your suggestions are most valuable to us.
Thanks in Advance.

Goto se11
in data type : put KIDNO change mode   ... avoid the messges ....
there in theDefinition   : put your new Search Help   activate it ....
so that   it will be attached..
otherwise there so many ways of attaching the serach help   for F4 ..
Implementing search Helps
Search helps can be implemented in a variety of ways:
1 .Add to Table field Added via SE11: Place cursor on desired field within database and select menu path Goto->Search help->for field
Effect: If field used to create screen field, search help will be called when user executes F4/drop down input help. All fields on screen will be populated if appropriate fields exist in search help and screen.
2.Add to Table Added via SE11: Place cursor on desired field within database and select menu path Goto->Search help->for table
3.Add to Data element Added via SE11: Select desired data element (double click), enter search help name and parameters in appropriate fields on screen. Will be applied to all fields associated with that data element
4.Add to Screen field Added via screen painter: One of field attributes is search help. Will only populate the one screen field.
5.Add to Sel. screen parameter (MATCHCODE) Added using 'matchcode' addition for parameters declaration: Search help name must be no more than 5 characters long.
e.g. PARAMETER p_prog LIKE trdir-name MATCHCODE OBJECT zsh.
