Search help and Match code oject

How to create the search help in version 5.0 and 6.0 ? what is elementary search help,collective search help? what is the use of these search helps? where we use elementary and collective searsc helps? what is the difference between searc help and match code object? how to use in reports?where we use search help and F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST function module? what is the diffference between them?

Hi Rk,
1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
CREATION:
Go to SE11 Tcode
select search help
give the 'z' search help name and create
select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'
dialog module 'display value immediately'.
add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.
where left position when displaying and spos = search position
and then save and activate ..

Diff b/n search help and match code

hi all,
can i know the differece between search help and match code object in terms of functionality?
is there possibility to provide matchcode object for select-options?if yes how can we provide?

same thread again.
hi,
Matchcodes were replaced with Search Helps starting with Release 4.0. Please use search helps to assign an input help to a field.
Existing matchcodes were automatically converted to search helps. A matchcode object is hereby converted to a collective search help with the same name. Each matchcode ID of the matchcode object is converted into an elementary search help with the same name and assigned to the collective search help created from the matchcode object.
A matchcode is a means of finding data records stored in the system. The matchcode is defined in the ABAP Dictionary in two steps:
You first define the relevant tables and fields for the search in a matchcode object. A matchcode object describes the set of all possible search paths for a search string.
You then create one or more matchcode IDs for a matchcode object. A matchcode ID describes a special search path for a search string. The matchcode ID defines the fields or field combinations to be used in the search.
Search Help
Use
With this function you can search for objects, thereby defining and linking different selection conditions for the search help.
Prerequisites
You can call this function by:
· Selecting Object ® Search... () in the main menu bar of the Integration Builder
· Placing the cursor on a software component version and selecting Search... () in the context menu (only in the Integration Repository)
In this case the software component version is defined as the search criteria.
Features
Defining the Object Type
You can select the object type in a dropdown list in field Object Type.
In the design (Integration Repository) you can
· Select an object type (for example Message Interface)
· Select a cross-object category (for example Interface Objects)
In the configuration (Integration Directory) you can select types Values Mapping Group and schema in addition to the individual object types.

Difference between Search Helps and Match Codes?

Difference between Search Helps and Match Codes?

Serch help
Search Helps
The input help (F4 help) is a standard function of the R/3 System. The user can display the list of all possible input values for a screen field with the input help. The possible input values can be enhanced with further information. This is meaningful especially when the field requires the input of a formal key.
Standard Input Help Process
A user calls an input help with the following steps (some steps can be omitted, depending on the definition of the input help):
The user starts the input help to display the possible input values for a field (search field) in a screen template.
The system offers the user a number of possible search paths. The user selects one of these search paths. Each search path offers a number of restrictions to limit the number of possible input values. These values are offered in a Dialog box for value restriction when the search path is selected.
The user enters restrictions if required and then starts the search.
The system determines the values that satisfy the entered restrictions (hits) and displays them as a list (hit list).
The user selects the most suitable line from the hit list by double-clicking.
The value of the search field is returned to the screen template (possibly together with other values).
Steps 2 and 3 are omitted if there is only a single search path available. In this case the dialog box for the value selection is offered immediately. You can also output the hit list directly after starting the input help. Steps 2 to 4 are omitted in this case.
Function of a Search Help
This standard process can be completely defined by creating a search help in the ABAP Dictionary. This search help only has to be assigned to the screen fields in which they should be available (see Attaching Search Helps to Screen Fields).
There are two types of search help:
Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.

Match code
Match code is nothing but the Search help in Higher versions
It is same way from SE11 you have to create.
so from SE11 create it and use it.
Matchcode objects are being replaced by search helps. This is good as search helps are easy to create. However, it has caused some confusion on how best to add search helps to a selection field.
The trick that I found is to keep your newly created search helps to a 4-character name. The Matchcode object name has this old 4-character limit. This trick is not documented anywhere in the system but it has been a great time saver for me. You can expand this concept by finding existing SAP search helps that are more than 4-characters, copy them to a 4-character name and presto, you have a new matchcode object available for use

Hi
I am sorry I thought that it is TPLNR field
for EQFNR there is no matchcode or search help
if you want you can create a matchcode/search help and add
It is a CHAR 30 field for which most of the times no values are entered

Choose an entry in Search help and not in its input field

Hi to all,
In my application I have a field with a search help.
I want that this field only can be modified using a search help and this field can't be modified directly writing in this field.
Is similar to transaction se63 - Translation - Abap objects - Short texts - OTR - Source language
I have created an example with the field SCARR-CARRID but this field can be modified with search help and directly, or this field can't be modified.
In my application I have done the following:
-> Screen painter (layout):
Name: SCARR-CARRID
Input Field: not marked
Output Field: marked
Possible entries: marked
Possible entries keys: 2
-> Flow logic:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE IMPORT_DATA_0001.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE EXPORT_DATA_0001.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD SCARR-CARRID MODULE listbox.
PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST.
MODULE listbox INPUT.
TYPES:
BEGIN OF VRM_VALUE,
KEY(40) TYPE C,
TEXT(80) TYPE C,
END OF VRM_VALUE,
VRM_VALUES TYPE VRM_VALUE OCCURS 0,
VRM_ID TYPE VRM_VALUE-TEXT,
VRM_IDS TYPE VRM_ID OCCURS 0.
DATA: name TYPE vrm_id,
list TYPE vrm_values,
value LIKE LINE OF list.
CHECK list[] IS INITIAL.
name = 'SCARR-CARRID'.
SELECT carrid CARRNAME FROM SCARR
INTO (value-key,value-text).
APPEND value TO list.
ENDSELECT.
SORT list BY text.
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
EXPORTING
id = name

ENDMODULE. " LISTBOX INPUT
How can i solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Jey:
I have tried this:

I think that there is a error that I have not seen because I put a breakpoint at the beginning of your code and the execution doesn`t stop.
Now I execute the dynpro and appears my field 'SCARR-CARRID' and I can't choose a value and I can write in input field.
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot.

Search Help and Multiple Value Selection?

Hello
Is it possible to select more than one entry in a search help popup? If so, what do I have to do in the context attribute to be able to handle multiple return values from the search help popup?
Regards,
Mathias

hi matthias.....
you cannot select multiple lines in a search help. because... you are going to return to only one field... else what you can do is. have a small button which acts as a search help and pop up a window which has a table in it. so you can select multiple values.

A question about search help and input help,PLZ take a look at it.

hi everyone,
i want to know the difference between search hlep and inpu help
can anyone tell me about that?
thanks

HI
BOTH ARE SAME
you can define F4 help in 2 ways
in SE11 or in the report program
IN SE11
Attaching a search help to a table field
Choose the field name, click on search help tab and
provide the name of the search help.
A search help is attached to a field of a table or structure in the maintenance transaction for this table/structure, analogously to attaching to a table. You must assign the interface parameters of the search help to any fields of the table/structure. The search field must be assigned to an EXPORT parameter of the search help at this time.
Attach the search help to the table field
The search help ZSTRAVELAG_NAME is therefore directly attached to the field AGENCYNUM of table ZSTRAVELAG.
Attaching a search help to a data element
Provide the search help name and the parameter name
under the further characteristics tab of the data element.
If the input help of a field is defined by its data element, no further screen fields can be used in the input help.
Also note that the input F4 help would be available wherever the data element is used.
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 REPORT PROGRAM
in this way we declare in report program

OTYPE TYPE HRP1000-OTYPE,

Help On Currency and Quantity Fields:
Whenever you have to maintain fields for currencies and quantites u need to refer them to currency key and quantity key which also have to be present in the table.
If suppose you are creating a table for Employee. And suppose that fields would be like :
EMPID -
employee id
EMPNAME
employee name
DEPARTMENT --- department
SALARY -- salary ( Data Type u2013 CURR )
WEIGHT -
weight of the employee ( Data Type -- QUAN )
Now the fields SALARY AND WEIGHT fields should refer to currency and quantity keys. So you need to have two more fields like
CURRKEY --- Data Type ( Cuky )
Quantity --- Data Type ( Unit )
Now we have to attach the field Currkey to the field Salary
And the field Quantity to the field Weight
So when u create a table you can see a tab Currency / Quantity fields.
Here You can give the reference table and the reference field against the salary and weight fields.

CUP - custom field and match code

Hi,
is it possible to have a custom field in CUP with a match code to help searching ?
the only two way that i found are dropdown lists for a table from a backend system and free field ( varchar, date, numeric)
thanks
Regards
Aurelien

Hi Aurelien,
You can create custom fields in CUP for the following types.
1 Text type
2 Numeric type
3 Date type
4 Drop down
a) drop down data define in CUP
b) Drop down data coming from backend table.
If you want a request to be associated with a match code that helps you seaching the request later.
Than create an text type custom field and use in a workflow.
While a creating the request define the value of custom field.
Now you can serch request on the basis of the value define in the custom field.
Kind Regards,
Srinivasan

Question on Search Help and Authorization Check for Sales Order Type

Question 1:
When I go to VA01 and click the search help, it shows only order type that are not blocked.
However, when I have sales order type in select-options of a Z program,
S_AUART FOR VBAK-AUART
I click on the search help, it gives all the sales order types. How can I have a list with unblocked sales order type only?
Question 2:
I want to check whether a use can extract data from a sales order type (e.g. OR and RE)that he/she authorized to use.
I have include the following in my program:
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'AUART'
ID 'AUART' FIELD 'OR'.
It always returns SY-SUBRC = 12.
But order type 'OR' is granted to the user (he/she can create order with type OR in VA01)
Please kindly give me some ideas, thanks.

hi,
ad1
use following code:
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR auart.
PERFORM auartGet.
FORM auartGet.
    CALL FUNCTION 'RV_HELP'
         EXPORTING
              KEY            = VKORG
              KEY2           = VTWEG
              KEY3           = SPART
              KEY4           = '0'
              NUMBER         = '008'
              FIELD_IN       = AUART
         IMPORTING
              FIELD          = AUART.
ENDFORM.
ad2.
example:
   AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'V_VBAK_AAT'
         ID 'AUART' FIELD 'OR'
         ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '01'. "01-create order, 02-change, 03 display
check sy-subrc eq 0.

Search Help for transaction code KE53

Hi Experts,
I want to add one more elementary search help in already existing search help PRCT for tcode KE53.
This is a collective search help. I am trying to create an elem. searh help which includes 3 input fields
Profit Center (PRCTR), Text desc. of Profit Center (LTEXT), and Company Code (BUKRS). But the problem is PRCTR & BUKRS are in table CEPC_BUKRS and PRCTR & LTEXT in table CEPC. Then how do i club the 3 in a single elem help. Do i have to use Search Help Exit. I have created a FM in which i have written a select query as follows:
SELECT APRCTR ALTEXT B~BUKRS
       FROM CEPCT AS A
       INNER JOIN CEPC_BUKRS AS B
       ON APRCTR = BPRCTR
       INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB.
ITAB is the table in FM. The FM also includes the changing parameters :SHLP & CALLCONTROL and tables SHLP_TAB & RECORD_TAB (but i dont know the use of the parameters). How do i proceed.
I dont have any idea about search help exits. Also there is no table which includes PRCTR, BUKRS and LTEXT.

Hi,
No need to write a search help exit. You can instead give a database view in the selection method. This database view can be a join on the tables CEPC and CEPC_BUKRS.
Refer to the search help PRCTN which uses a database view as the selection method.
Since this is a standard search help, you will have to use append search help technique. Refer to this link for [enhancing the standard search help|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/1f/29ef5777df11d2959800a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm].

How to build search help for company code (BUK) in SRM

Hello,
I am new to SRM and was wondering if any have come across similar requirement. I am a workflow developer and we are building a custom table to derive deadline escalation timelines. We are also adding a field in our custom table for company code so that we can have company specific deadlines. table T001 is empty in SRM and hence we are unable to use F4 (search help). Is there existing functionality in SRM that gets this search from the backend ECC system and displays when F4 is pressed. How can I use that functinoality?
Appreciate any info folks.
Thanks again.
Samir

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?

Re: Search help for Custom Item level field
Custom field in SRM as a dropdown field with values stored in R/3
Calendar help for Date i/p field in SRM 5.0 shopping cart
Company code
Problems assigning values via F4 or search help
Also There is a standard table in SRM which contains Plant data ->
BBP_LOCMAP (Mapping Table Business Partner --> System --> Location)
Try creating a custom search help based on this Table, defined as selection method and assign the same to the related field.
Do let me know.
