Search Help For An Editable ALV List

Hi,
All ABAP Gurus !!
I have made an Editable ALV with the fields of ZTable. In ALV I want the search help in one of the columns.The entry in that should come from the standard table name-TVM5 and the field which should come is MVGR5. MVGR5 does not contain the search help .Following are the description for my ZTable-------
Field Name    - MC_NO,
Data Element - ZZMC_NO1,
Domain          -ZZMC_NO1.
While creating this ZTable, in the Entry help/check tab I have also mention Input help with fixed values in the column- Origin of the input help and entered the entries also.
About ALV (Only one alv column is shown here for reference in which search help or input help is needed of all the possible entries)---
DATA: INT_FIELDCATALOG2 TYPE LVC_T_FCAT WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: WA_FIELDCATALOG2 TYPE LVC_S_FCAT ,
           WA_LAYOUT2        TYPE SLIS_LAYOUT_ALV ,

How to add search help for field in ALV object

Hello,
In a program, we use ALV object ( container) to create a liste like : field1, field2 .. but when display we do not have search help for this . Could you please help me how to add match code in this case for field 1 and field2, We use set_table_for_first_display
Thanks,

Hi,
when you define your field catalogue you can create data elements with search help in se11 and use them for field 1 and field 2.
But maybe it is enough to use data elements belonging to a domain with a value help and to set field F$AVAILABL in the field catalogue or to fill the name of the field CHECKTABLE.

Enhancing standard (single select)search help for Multiple value selection

Hi,
Standard search help for Business Partner (in cProjects) allows only single value selection for input fields. I want to make this multiple selection.
Is there a way to do it.
I used an OVS and built a similar search but its difficult to get the standard options like saving to personal value list etc in it.
It would be good if there is a way to modify the standard search help to allow multiple selection. Any ideas??
Appreciate your help,
Thanks,
Sri

As far as I know you can't make a standard ABAP dictionary search help return multiple entries - where you get this sort of functionality the searches don't use the standard Elementary search help framework (e.g. organisational structure searches)
Given that the WDA search help relies on these dictionary based searches, I'd think very much that you couldn't enhance it to return multiple. how you could even return multiple entries into a single UI element input field is also confusing to me.
I'd suggest creating a freely programmed value help, it would certainly take quite some effort to recreate those personal value lists etc, but it could be done - I don't like OVS, but that just me.

Regarding search help for a attribute

Hi All,
I have an ALV, there is a hyperlink for one field, which opens up another Popup for ALV as component usage.
I have one Search help for a field in this popup.
When I open this popup for first time in that session, F4 for the SH, the value is not getting populated in that field.
When I close the popup and open it again, next time the value which I select is getting populated in that field.
Don't know why this happens.
Like OVS, can we have F4 help event custom one for SH so that I can triiger it for first time.
What is the event that gets triggered upon F4 selection of SH.
Appreciate your replies.
My server details are as below -

Search help for field of tcode MIGO

Hi,
I want to add search help for Goods recipient (GOITEM-WEMPF) field on MIGO screen, how to achieve that?
I tried with BADI MB_MIGO_BADI, but its now working.
Is there any BADI or field exit available?
Thanks

hi
i know that there are two options for defining the input help of a field.
1 Define the input help in ABAP dictionary. (recommended option)
2 Define the input help in the screen field. the disadvantage is that there is no automatic reuse.
1st option
Se11 --> create your own search help
    substeps:
        1) Enter short description
        2) selection method : this is the check table/view of the field GOITEM-WEMPF
        3) Search help parameter : parameters used in the search help.
        4) IMP: Import parameters
        5) EXP: Export parameters
        6) Lpos :hitting list [search result]position in the header [values 1,2,3,4,5]
        7)Spos: search position on the dialog search screen.
        8) data elements : they are from the selection method.
        9) Save and activate
        10) test this via the button "test"
       Note: the search help is not yet effective fo the field GOITEM-WEMPF
        11) Attach this search help for the table [ selection method mentioned above]
              a) Goto change mode of this table via SE11
              b) choose goto--> search help> for table
                        or Extras --> search help for table, in the next dialog box enter the name of search help
              C) The proposal created by the system for assigning the search help parameters to the key fields of the table is probably correct. check this and copy the definition.
              d) Active this table.
              e) Call the create entries function for table GOTIME again. the input help of field WEMPF should behave as desired.

Brian

Search help for customer

Hi Guys,
My requirement is to create a search help for the customer field. The selection need to be restricted on Vendor maser(LFA1). When the user press on F4, he should get the list of all customers maintained in LFA1 table. The existing search help (DEBI) is having so many tabs and user doesn't want it. So, when we press on F4, the list of customers which are maintained in LFA1 should appear.
Points assured.
Cheers

One search help for multiple select-options in webdynpro abap

Hi,
I need a way to use one search help for multiple select-options fields. My scenario is :
I have a table for keeping different organizational units' values of different systems. I have pasted some sample data from this table at the end of this mail. On the screen I want to have 1 select-options filed for werks, and 1 select-options filed for vkorg. (In fact I will have more org. unit fields...) In the beginning of my application the user will select sid.
If the user selects ADS as SID, when he opens search-help for the first org. unit (werks), he will see the records with SID: ADS, VARBL = $WERKS, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
If the user selects AGT as SID, when he opens search-help for the second org. unit (vkorg), he will see the records with SID: AGT, VARBL = $VKORG, LANGU = SY-LANGU.
I have created a search-help taking SIDD, VARBL and LANGU as import parameters; used field mapping and bound this search help to my table. I have created 2 context nodes : org1 and org2 having attributes SID, VARBL, VALUE, LANGU .
I have assigned related SID, VARBL and Langu values to these attributes at runtime as I needed. That way, if I use input field and reference to the related context attributes org1-value and org2-value2 accordingly, search help works well as I want.
However, when I use select-options field , I can not bind the field to the context data. I can give reference only to ddic structure. Is there any way to reference to a context attribute? I searched for this in SDN, but could find nothing.
I think I won't be able to use this way. What do you say?
As I read from forums maybe using OVS help will be suitable for me. But I have to use one search-help for all select-options fields. Do you know how I can determine the active select-options field and pass its name (for instance "werks" ) as parameter to this OVS search help. (Also I'll pass SID and LANGU.)
MY TABLE (ZBYYT080) CONTENTS:
SID     VARBL     VALUE     LANGU     VTEXT
ADS     $WERKS     1     T     Werk 0001
ADS     $WERKS     11     T     OZYAS GIDA URETIM YERI
ADS     $WERKS     5501     T     BOYA GEBZE FABRİKASI
ADS     $WERKS     5502     T     BOYA CIGLI FABRİKASI
AGT     $WERKS     2301     T     KAMLI DAMIZLIK
AGT     $WERKS     9601     T     PANAR DENIZ URETIM YERI
ADS     $VKORG     22     T     AA KİMYASALLAR
ADS     $VKORG     8001     T     İINSAAT BOYALARI
AGT     $VKORG     6500     T     DAMk St.Org
AGT     $VKORG     5400     T     PANAR St.Org.
I wish I'm clear enough..
I will be gald if someone answers me as soon as possible...
Thanks İn advance..

Hi,
Your ques is how to refer to a DDIC search help to refer to selection screen parameter ?
Am I right ?
If Yes, then in the interface IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS
method ADD_SELECTION_FIELD, ADD_PARAMETER_FIELD etc
have importing param like I_VALUE_HELP_TYPE and I_VALUE_HELP_ID, I_VALUE_HELP_MODE, I_VALUE_HELP_STRUCTURE
etc which may help you to link your create DDIC Search help to selection screen params.
this is just a clue from my side. I haven't tried it myself.
You can go to the where used list of this method and find some sample implementations which use these params.
Hope this helps.

Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
Transaction Code - PP01,
Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
It's urgent.
Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

Hi Pradeep,
Please have a look into the below site which might be useful
Enhancing a Standard 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.
During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
timepoints
The following timepoints are defined:
1. SELONE
Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
2. PRESEL1
After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
3. PRESEL
Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
4. SELECT
Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
5. DISP
Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
7. RETTOP
You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
9. CREATE
The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
10. APP1, APP2, APP3
If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
Hope this info will help you.
