Cheers

Search Help with Structure Display

Hi,
I want to create a search help which should display my output in the structure format base on the different levels.
I have already written a test program which display all the values in proper structure format. But I wanna do the same in the search help. It has to display the output in the structure format.
Please guide me how to achieve this.
Thanks,
Karthik

hello,
you could write additional report based on ALV tree. So you would have the stucture which you want to have and on value request call your custom program. i doubt that there is FM or class which could generate search help tree. So basically you have to write your own logic. Or you could use GuiXt tool. Example and tutorial.

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

Read webdynpro screen value before Search Help call

Hi Experts,
For a webdynpro screen I have added a custom field to the layout and mapped to a custom attribute which has a a standard search help determined from the dictionary attribute.
There are multiple input field in the layout and there is this custom input field with search help in the layout. During runtime is it possible to read the other inputfield in the layout before F4 is clicked? I want to read one of the inputfield whenever the f4 search help is called. None of the methods WDDOAFTERACTION, WDDOBEFOREACTION, WDDOMODIFYVIEW are triggered before the F4 search help call.
Please let me know if anyone has any idea.

Hi,
As suggested you have to use OVS or freely programmed value help. OVS is easy to use , check the below article for OVS Reference : [OVS in WDA|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/606288d6-04c6-2c10-b5ae-a240304c88ea?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true] Also [Dynamic F4 in WDA|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70cee684-ccbb-2c10-3c94-91e806e5f7ac?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
In the event handler method of OVS read the first input value using get attribute method and select the corresponding value.
Hope this helps u.,
Thanks & regards,

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
If you want to Show the Search help for Particular Field in Screen painter , You must give the Code In PROCESS ON VALUE REQUEST(POV).
ie.
process on value-request.
field P9611-REQ_STATUS module GET_REQ_STATUS.
and in Program Give the internal table Fieldname in Capital Letter while Passing in Fuctional Module.
like.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      retfield        = 'REQ_STATUS2'    "internal table field
      dynpprog        = sy-dynnr
      dynpnr          = sy-dynnr
      dynprofield     = 'P9611-REQ_STATUS' "screen field name
      value_org       = 'S'
    TABLES
      value_tab       = req_status_tab "internal table
    EXCEPTIONS
      parameter_error = 1
      no_values_found = 2
      OTHERS          = 3.

Search help call in FM ?

Hi,
Can we call a search help from a function module ?
thanks,
Navneeth.K

hi
Please check the following documentation, taken from help.sap.com;
Calling Help Texts from Dialog Modules
If data element supplement documentation is insufficient for your requirements, or you want to display help for program fields that you have not copied from the ABAP Dictionary, you can call dialog modules in the POH event:
PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST.
FIELD <f> MODULE <mod>.
After the PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST statement, you can only use the MODULE statement together with the FIELD statement. When the user chooses F1 for a field <f>, the system calls the module <mod> belonging to the FIELD <f> statement. If there is more than one FIELD statement for the same field <f>, only the first is executed. However, the contents of the screen field <f> are not available in the module <mod>, since it is not transported by the FIELD statement during the PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST event. The field help should not be dependent on the user input.
The module <mod> is defined in the ABAP program like a normal PAI module. The processing logic of the module must ensure that adequate help is displayed for the field in question. Instead of calling an extra screen with text fields, you should use one of the following function modules to display a suitable SAPscript document:
HELP_OBJECT_SHOW_FOR_FIELD
This function module displays the data element documentation for components of any structure or database table from the ABAP Dictionary. You pass the name of the component and structure or table to the import parameters FIELD and TABLE.
HELP_OBJECT_SHOW
Use this function module to display any SAPscript document. You must pass the document class (for example, TX for general texts, DE for data element documentation) and the name of the document to the import parameters DOKCLASS and DOKNAME. For technical reasons, you must also pass an empty internal table with the line type TLINE to the tables parameter of the function module.
For further information about how to create SAPscript documents, refer to the Documentation of System Objects documentation.
Field help on screens.
REPORT DEMO_DYNPRO_F1_HELP.

The next screen (statically defined) for screen 100 is 100. It has the following layout:
The screen fields DEMOf1HELP-FIELD1 and DEMOF1HELP-FIELD2 from the ABAP Dictionary and the program fields FIELD3 and FIELD4 are assigned to the input fields. The pushbutton has the function code CANCEL with function type E.
The screen flow logic is as follows:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE CANCEL AT EXIT-COMMAND.
PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST.
FIELD DEMOF1HELP-FIELD2 MODULE F1_HELP_FIELD2 WITH VAR.
FIELD FIELD3 MODULE F1_HELP_FIELD3.
FIELD FIELD4 MODULE F1_HELP_FIELD4.
The components FIELD1 and FIELD2 of structure DEMOF1HELP both refer to the data element DEMOF1TYPE. This data element is documented, and also has two supplements with numbers 0100 and 0200.

Search Help not getting displayed

Hi ,
I have included my own Search Help ZSH to Standard Search Help MAT1 which is related to field MATNR , in the following path..
In MAT1->MAT1_A, I have INCLUDED my Search Help.
I have tested it in SE11, it's working fine.
But, in VA01 screen when I press F4 on the MATNR field only 9 Search Helps are displayed, and my Z-Search Help is not getting displayed.
What additional settings should I do for the display of my Z-Search Help?
Thanks in advance,

Search Help in Webdynpro displays specific text in German language

We have created a custom search help which is being displayed using a custom Webdynpro application. We found that for this search help, although all other texts are displayed in English, a specific text ( 'Show filter criteria' ) is being displayed in German. Also, the same problem exists for search helps used in certain standard Webdynpro applications as well ( eg. WDT_FLIGHTLIST, TEST_DDIC ). Is there any SAP note to address this issue?

Hi,
see SAP note 1050954

Search Help calling screen

Hi Guys,
please.. How can a Search Help implement a "CALL SCREEN" command?
I have a problem in a ABAP WebDynpro app, apparently because the search help is calling a SCREEN from the program SAPLSZA1, and I have to undo this. It shouldn't call.
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!

I have tried both. Same problem..
But the real problem is that I can not reproduce this in DEV. It only happens in QAS, and i can not find what is different. All the objects that I have checked so far (Search Help, Program, etc.) have no differences.

How to display our own selected data in a search help using a exit

Hello,
I had created a Search Help Exit to restrict the values to be displayed in the search help. This code was written under the event 'DISP' in the exit. But it is not giving the desired result. So I want to replace the RECORD_TAB of the exit with my own selected data. For this I had written code for selection under the event 'SELECT'. But when I try to overwrite RECORD_TAB with this, this create errors.
What should I do to overwrite the values of the RECORD_TAB field with my own values?

Adding Search help to a field of standard transction

hi experts,
i m new to abap.
my pp consultant wants that in transaction MM03, for the field on selection screen (Material) one more search help should be added. and on pressing f4 it should be displayed there with other search options.
The search field is "(Document)-Number of the drawing that exists for this object".
Note: To see this field run transaction MM03, enter a material and press enter then we get a screen to choose a view. choose basic data2. In the block "design drawing" there is a field for "Document".
is it possible? if yes how much time it would take and to do it.
how should i go about it.
plz help.

Hi ANNIE,
Go through the following Procedure to add a Search help to a field of standard Transaction
The Matchcode is replaced by search help from the version 4.6C.
I will tell u how create the search help.
Name of a search help
A search help is an object of the ABAP Dictionary with which input helps
(F4 helps) can be defined.
There are the following types of search helps:
o Elementary search helps implement a search path for determining the
possible entries.
o Collective search helps contain several elementary search helps. A
collective search help therefore provides several alternative search
paths for possible entries.
o Append search helps can be used to enhance collective search helps
delivered by SAP with customer-specific search paths without
requiring a modification.
The three components of the input help process described by a search
help are the outer interface, the online behavior and the method of data
Go to Tcode SE11. Select the search help radio button.
Give name as ztest and click create
There are two types of search help.
Once is elementary search help
& collective search help
Choose one.
Add the data element.
MatchCode is replaced by search helps.
To attach a search help to a field.
Use this code.
at selection-screen on value-request for source.
progname = sy-repid.
dynnum = sy-dynnr.
clear value_tab.
refresh value_tab.
Filling the Value_tab internal table by itab2 internal table.

Search help in selecrion screen

hi expertds,
how to remove search help from DD02L-TABNAME filed
select-options : s_tabn for DD02L-TABNAME .
i dont want any help in this field, but defalt i am getting because of DD02l
Amit

Hi,
You should try to not modify standard SAP search helps - they are generally easy to replace with customer search help versions without modifying the original. (Although there are a couple like the HR searchelp PREM where this does not work - it has exits / customising for setting how it behaves).
In SE11 display the original BUPA collective search help, and select the menu option "Goto-->Append Search Help". This will display a pop-up listing existing appends. Select the create button in the pop-up and give the new append a Z name - say Z_BUPA and save it. In the new Z_BUPA append go to the Included Search Helps tab and type in BUPAA and select the "Hide" checkbox. Save and activate. This has now hidden the BUPAA help in the original BUPA collective search help - go back and test it to see.
To add a replacement, copy BUPAA to a ZBUPAA search help and add it as an included search help in your Z_BUPA append. for this one you will need to select the Param Assignment button to link parameters between the collective and elementary search helps.
Doing the change this way means future support packs will not overwrite the changes you have made.
If the view or function needs changing, these should be copied to Z versions and changes made. The original code in the function module could instead be repaired using Modification assistant if there are not too many complicated changes.
With the BUP_SHLP_EXIT_SEVERALS function, there are a number of references to the search help name in the function that would need to change to the new Z name. Other changes depend on your requirements - The function is called a number of times during the search help display, with a different step executed each time (PRESEL1, PRESEL, SELECT in this case) - mods may be needed to only some steps. The steps are partly documented by comments in the code.
The function BUP_SHLP_EXIT_SEVERALS appears to have a BADI exit included in the PRESEL step (exit interface IF_EX_BUPA_AUGRP) - this may be of some use.
2.In this you don't need to create zsearch help.Just hide it.
Regards,
Shiva Kumar
