Hi ,
Change your code as below:
1. Fill the internal table it_openhubs inside the event "at selection screen on value request".
2.  Always follow the below sequence:
    Initialisation
   At selection screen
   Start of selection.
3. The declaration of variable v_tabname is changed from type c length 30 to type char30.
I tried the below code , its working fine.
DATA: V_RESPONSES(6),
      V_TEXTS LIKE ALDBOUT,
      V_PROG TYPE SY-REPID,
      V_DYNNR TYPE SY-DYNNR.

  • Creating a search help for a field in selection screen

    Hi All,
    There are 3 fields in the selection screen. They are
        WERKS
        DATE
        MATNR
    Enter a value WERKS = 2465.
    When I press the drop down menu for MATNR, it should only give the material number available for 2465.
    I think, I should create a search help for it.
    Kindly help me to create a search help for the material number based on the above condition.

  • How to assign search help for custom cost centre field in SRM 7.0

    Hi Experts!!
    We are currently working in SRM 7.0.As per our business requirement, in account assignment tab we need to use a custom
    cost centre field (ZCOST_CENTRE) instead of standard cost centre field.It is observed that for standard cost centre field there is a standard web-dynpro search-help assigned where it will return the F4 search help values from backend.
    Can any one of you please help me how can I assign the search-help for the custom cost centre field. Is there any FM to call the backend cost centre search help for custom field or any other way how can I achieve this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Kalyani

    kalyani,
    i can see your requirement in below way..
    as it just reads: you need to assign the standard cost center help to a z cost center field in component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC.. which actually is fetched though the component /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH
    so, if you see the component controller of SAPSRM/WDC_UI_DO_ACC you will see the component
    USAGE_SH_F4     /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH                        
    USAGE_SH_F4     /SAPSRM/WDC_UI_BACKEND_SH     INTERFACECONTROLLER
    so you can replicate the same functionality for your z field.
    but can you clarify one thing.. why are you going for this z field in place of standard field ?

  • Search Help for Customizing Workbench request

    Hi Colleagues,
    I have two elements in the WD UI viz: Workbench Transport Request and Customizing transport Request.
    I have Dictionary Search Help set to SEEF_MIG_TRKORR for Workbench TR but i cannot find a search help for Customizing TR.
    Also there is no search filter on the SEEF_MIG_TRKORR search help. Thus i cannot use this for both the elements.
    Could you please help to determine the search help for customizing request.

  • Search help for input fields in a screen

    Hi,
    Pls help me
    how to set search help property for the I/O fields in screen in se80?
    1. do we want to add any property for search help in the property window?

    elementary search help or collective search help?
    thanks & regards in advance,

    Hi,
    Input Help on the Screen
    Within the Screen Painter, you can define two types of input help:
    1. The FIELD statement with one of the additions VALUES or SELECT.
    2. Linking a search help directly to a screen field.
    If you link a search help directly to a screen field, it overrides the additions of the FIELD
    statement. However, the input check [Page 581] functions of the FIELD statement remain
    unaffected.
    Input Help in Flow Logic
    The following input help methods are obsolete and should not be used. They are still supported
    for compatibility reasons.
    In the screen flow logic, you can specify a value list for a screen field <f> as follows:
    FIELD <f> VALUES (<val1>, <val2>,...).
    The value list contains a series of single values <vali>. The NOT and BETWEEN additions for the
    input check [Page 581] are not appropriate for input help.
    You can also create a value list by accessing a database table as follows:
    FIELD <f> SELECT *
    FROM <dbtab>
    WHERE <k1> = <f1> AND <k2> = <f2> AND...
    In the WHERE condition, the fields of the primary key <ki> of the database table <dbtab> are
    checked against the screen fields <fi>. The WHENEVER addition, used with input checks [Page
    581], is not necessary for input help.
    If you have used a ABAP Dictionary reference for field <f>, the selection and the hit list formatting
    may be affected by any check table attached to the field.
    Attaching a Search Help
    Search helps from the ABAP Dictionary can be attached to a screen field [Ext.]. To do this, enter
    the name of the search help in the corresponding field in the attributes of the screen field in the
    Screen Painter. This assigns the first parameter of the search help to the screen field. It is only
    possible to place a value from the hit list onto the screen.
    Input help on a screen.
    REPORT DEMO_DYNPRO_F4_HELP_DYNPRO MESSAGE-ID AT.
    DATA: CARRIER(3) TYPE C,
    CONNECTION(4) TYPE C.
    CALL SCREEN 100.
    MODULE CANCEL INPUT.
    LEAVE PROGRAM.
    ENDMODULE.
    The next screen (statically defined) for screen 100 is itself. It has the following layout:
    602 April 2001
    Cancel
    Airline
    Flight number
    Screen field with search help
    Input help in the flow logic
    The input fields have been adopted from the program fields CARRIER and
    CONNECTION. The function code of the pushbutton is CANCEL, with function type
    E. The search help DEMO_F4_DE with the search help parameter CARRID is
    assigned to the screen field CARRIER. The search help uses the database table
    SCARR.
    The screen flow logic is as follows:
    PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
    PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
    MODULE CANCEL AT EXIT-COMMAND.
    FIELD CARRIER VALUES ('AA', 'LH').
    FIELD CONNECTION SELECT *
    FROM SPFLI
    WHERE CARRID = CARRIER
    AND CONNID = CONNECTION.
    When the user chooses the input help for the individual fields, the following input
    help is displayed:
      For the Airline field, the search help displays the names of the airlines and places the airline
    code in the input field for the chosen line. If the airline code is not one of those listed in the
    VALUES list of the screen flow logic, the input check triggers an error message in the PAI
    event. So the search help overrides the VALUES addition for the input help, but not for the
    input checks. This is therefore not an appropriate place to use the VALUE addition.
      For the Flight number field, the flow logic displays the selected entries from the database
    table SPFLI and places the selected line in the input field.
    Regards,
    Bhaskar

  • Search help for Custom Item level field

    Hi All,
    I have two custom fields at Item level. Both of them has fixed values defined at domain. The fixed values have a short text also given with them.
    The problem I am facing is when SRM provides default search help for these custom fields, for first field the 'Value' and 'Description' comes in the search result screen, but for second, only 'Value' comes in the search result.
    When I try to debug, it shows the SHLPTYPE as 'SH' for first one and for the second as 'FV'.
    What does this indicate?
    My requirement is to display both value and description in the search result screen.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks
    Nandalal

    Hi
    Sorry for the delay. My User got locked for some time.
    I have seen the document you sent me on my email id.
    <b> I noticed in the case where the Search help is working fine, there is no space in between the contents of the Fixed values and their short text under the value range tab of the Domain element.
    But in the case, where there is a problem with the search help. There both the Fixed values and their short description is having a space in between the words.
    Try maintaining COND_A instead of "COND A". Also with the short description use "COND_A" instead of "COND A".</b>
    <u>I hope this will resolve the issue.</u>

  • No search help for Custom field ZZKUKLA in vk11

    Hi,
    I have added the field KUKLA - Customer classification as a pricing field in KOMP. Created an access sequence as follows: Sales Org.-> Customer Classification - material group.
    In the creation of the record in VK11 I'm not getting the search help for the ZZKUKLA field. The thing is that if I'm in change or display, the search help for the field appears and lists the possible values.
    Anyone have a clue?
    Thanks!
    /Patrik

    Dear Pratik,
    Request you to first add Customer classification field (ZZKUKLA) in KOMK structure insted of structure KOMP. Becasue it is header structure filed. After add this new filed in KOMK structure, Add this new filed in your field catelog and than create table and new access sequence.

  • Search help for custome field with different data type

    Hi Friends,
    I have Created a  custom table in which i have created a field is
    ZMATLONG which stores material number.
    Now the data element is zdmat which is of char 40..
    Now i want to give search help for this field ZMATLONG..
    I have tried many ways giving search help to this field
    a) i Tried to attach the standard search help of MATNR ie : MAT1 but its showing me data type inconsistancy
    b) i created a zsearch help and in the selection method i have used database table mara , again here iam getting the same error data type inconsistancy...
    Now how can i give the search help like matnr field to my custom field ZMATLONG...
    How can i do it..?
    Thanks in Advance..
    Regards
    Kumar

    Hi,
    MATNR ahs length 18 and ZMATLONG has length 40.So due to this u cannot use MAT1 search help.
    best way would be cope MAT1 into Z search help. Then in the search help parameter change the data element of field
    MATNR as ZMATLONG.
    Now if you assign Z search help to ZMATLONG  it will work.
    I tried this its working fine.

  • 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.

    I suppose you may create a component customizing for /SCMTMS/WDCC_SCH_C_LOC_ATS, and maintain your DDIC search help for location ID, this will replace the one assigned in structure:
    You may only maintain DDIC search help here, but if you have a custom developed search help, then you may need to go with another approach, in viewexit class (/SCMTMS/CL_UI_VIEWEXIT_SCH) adapt_fields (ADAPT_FIELDS), modify the attribute 'WD_VALUE_HELP' = custom search help.
    Hope it helps
