Search help - input screen

Hi,
i want to build a search help. it should be like when we click F4 on the field, it should give the screen with input field (field1) and if we enter the value in the field, it should display the corresponding values (field2) for the input field. when user clicks the field, it should retrieve the field2.
and we should also be able to default the input field and also set the no of entries to be displayed
Can anyone let me know how to create this kind of search help
Thanks

Hi shekar..
just see this sample code..
SELECT carrid carrname
                FROM scarr
                INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab_carrid.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       EXPORTING
            retfield        = 'CARRID'
                  dynpprog    = gv_repid
                  dynpnr      = gv_dynnr
                  dynprofield = 'S_field-LOW'
            value_org       = 'S'
       TABLES
            value_tab       = itab_carrid
       EXCEPTIONS
            parameter_error = 1
            no_values_found = 2
            OTHERS          = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.
wirte one more select query with where condition = s_field-low. into table itab2 to provide search help for 'S_field11-LOW' on same screen..
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       EXPORTING
            retfield        = 'CARRID11'
                  dynpprog    = gv_repid
                  dynpnr      = gv_dynnr
                  dynprofield = 'S_field11-LOW'
            value_org       = 'S'
       TABLES
            value_tab       = itab2
       EXCEPTIONS

Search Help Selection Screen Window Title

Hi Experts,
I have created a search help in se11 with import as well as export parameter.
While I press F4 on the field to which it is assigned then Search Help seelction screen opens up with a Window Tilte 'Sede Tecnica(1)' i.e. some standard text.
Can I change this F4 window title to user custom label?
Thanks

What should i do?

Thank you all,
The problem has been solved.

Search help for screen fields in module pool

Hi All,
I have a screen in Module pool which has 3 input fields, each input field is attached to the same search help.
These fields are from ztable . I have created a search help USING these 3 fields. All the 3 fields are marked for IMPORT and EXPORT.
So whenever i click F4 on any of the above 3 fields, It will display search help popup and returns some rows...But the values are transfered back only for 1 fields ..i.e for the first field only .
I want that ...as soon as i select any of the row from Search hit list..all the 3 columns should get populated with corresponding fields from that row.
I require it this way as user wants to select based on * selection.Ex: as then every this related to that should be popped up.
Pls help ASAP

Attaching search help to SCREEN FIELDS AND TABLE FIELDS

Hello experts,
Himanshu here.
Could you please explain how we can assign search Help to a screen field AND TABLE FIELDS in ABAP?
Please reply at the earliest,as we have some deliverables to be met
Thanks

Hi,
In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
Select Collective search help and choose .
The maintenance screen for collective search helps is displayed.
Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
In the Definition tab page enter the parameters of the collective search help.
Select the Imp flag if it is an import parameter. Select the Exp flag if it is an export parameter.
Define the types for the parameters of a collective search help by assigning a data element. Enter the name of the data element that describes the contents of the search help parameter in the Data element field.
You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
In exceptions it could be necessary to change the standard process defined by the search help. You can implement the deviation from the standard using a search help exit.
In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
On the Included search helps tab page, define the search helps that you want to include in the collective search help.
You can include elementary search helps and collective search helps.
Use the Hide flag to control whether an included search help should appear in the dialog box for selecting the elementary search help. If the flag is set, the search help is not offered.
It makes sense to hide search help inclusions if one or more search paths in the standard system should not be used in a concrete R/3 System. Similarly, search help inclusions can also be already hidden in the standard system because they only can be used meaningfully in a few R/3 Systems. You have to cancel the flag in this case.
Position the cursor one after the other on each allocated search help and choose Parameter assignment.
In the next screen, enter the parameter names of the elementary search helps to which the corresponding parameters of the collective search help should be assigned in the field Reference parameter.
You can select the parameters contained in the included search help using the input help. Create a proposal for the assignment with Proposal.
Save your entries.
A dialog box appears in which you have to assign a development class to the search help.
Choose .
Result
The collective search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred when the collective search help was activated, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.

veeresh.

Attachig a search help to screen filed

hi
I want to attach sarch help to screen field .
i am not able to make out where i have to attach . do i need to go in attributes of the field .
plz provide ur inputs .
Thanks ,
abhishek .

Hello Abhishek,
1)In the PAI of the screen, add a module Process on value request.For example:
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_100.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD field_name MODULE value_request_for_field_name.
*field_name is the field for which you require search help.
In the Module value_request_for_field_name call this function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'.
2)The above procedure can be used if the field you have defined doesnt have an existing search help.If it already has search help and the field in the screen is taken from the dictionary,then in the attributes,u can check from from dictionary under the dictionary tab.
3)A manual search help can also be created in the se11 transaction by clicking on the search help radio button and giving the table and field name for which search help is required.

Beejal

How to pass the default value to search help selection screen

Hi
I need to push a certain value as a default value based on a condition to the slection screen of search help in web UI.
Could you please let me know how can we do this?
When we try to open the 'F4' help in web ui then it should populate a certain value as a default value to the selection screen of this 'F4' help. We will get this default value based on condition.

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 on screen

hi all,
I have two screen fields to which i have attached search helps dynamically (using function module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST. The scenario is that i want to select the first field and depending on the value entered, i want to restrict the search help on the second field. eg: i select material (mara-matnr) and depending on the material, i want to show only the related plants (marc-werks for the material).
The issue is that when i write a select to populate the fields in the value_tab internal table(returned by the function module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST, i write the following...
select werks from marc into (l_werks)
where matnr eq i_matnr.
where i_matnr is the screen field.
the selected material is not populated in i_matnr. However, while executing the PAI, the value can be seen.
What i rather want is this to be available in POV. since the module containing the above code is written in POV.
is there something i m missing?
if not then what could be the possible ways to get around this.?
I hope the problem is clear. Awaiting answers...
regards,
PJ

Hi,
Check this sample code
F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST F4 help that returns the values selected in an internal table. Very handy when programming your very own F4 help for a field.
Example:
data:
    begin of t_values occurs 2,
      value like kna1-begru,
    end of t_values,
    t_return like ddshretval occurs 0 with header line.
t_values = 'PAR*'.
append t_values.
t_values = 'UGG'.
append t_values.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       exporting
            retfield        = 'BEGRU'
            value_org       = 'S'
       tables
            value_tab       = t_values
            return_tab      = t_return
       exceptions
            parameter_error = 1
            no_values_found = 2
            others          = 3.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    read table t_return index 1.
    o_begru-low = t_return-fieldval.
    if o_begru-low = 'PAR*'.
      o_begru-option = 'CP'.
    else.
      o_begru-option = 'EQ'.
    endif.
    o_begru-sign = 'I'.
    append o_begru to s_begru.
else.
    o_begru = i_begru.
endif.
F4IP_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST This function does not exist in 4.6 and above. Use F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST instead.
Hope this helps.

Search help on screen elements

Hi I have a screen where I need to include a seach help on the screen element. The element itself is just a generic char 8 field with no dictionary reference. I have tried using the VRM_SET_ VALUES in the PBO but as soon as I press enter it looses the value selected. So I have now tried the using the process on value_request but despite finding and populating 138 values in the search help pop up, the actual pop up screen shows a blank list, with the text at the bottom saying 138 values.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Set list values
    call function 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
      exporting
        id              = lv_vrm_id
        values          = it_values
      exceptions
        id_illegal_name = 1
        others          = 2.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
   MESSAGE I000 WITH 'Failed to populate username list values'.
    endif.
process on value-request.
field my_field module fill_my_field.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    exporting
      retfield        = 'MY_FIELD
      dynprofield     = 'MY_FIELD'
      value_org       = ' '
      dynpprog        = progname
      dynpnr          = dynnum

    exceptions
      parameter_error = 1
      no_values_found = 2
      others          = 3.

I'm still having problems with this. Here is my VRM set values - the problem I have with this is as soon as i choose a value from the list and press enter, the value dissappears from the screen element:
data: lv_vrm_id(80)    type c.
    data: lv_key(3)        type n value 1,
          lv_index         type sy-tabix.
    data: it_values type standard table of vrm_value,
          s_values   type vrm_value.
    lv_vrm_id = i_type.
    lv_key    = 1.
    clear it_values.
    loop at it_cabn into s_cabn
                    where ATNAM = i_type.
      read table it_cawn into s_cawn with key atinn = s_cabn-atinn
                                     binary search.

        lv_index = sy-tabix.
        s_values-key = 1.
        s_values-text =   s_cawn-ATWRT.
        condense s_values-text.
        append s_values to it_values.
        add 1 to lv_key.
        lv_index = lv_index + 1.
        read table it_cawn into s_cawn index lv_index.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          exit.
        endif.
      endwhile.
    endloop.
* Set list values
    call function 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
      exporting
        id              = lv_vrm_id

And here is my code for the F4 lookup - the problem here is that the search help pop dispklays nothing depsite saying it has 138 values. I am wondering if its my it_values that is the wrong format, or is it the fact that my field type doesn't point to a dictionary element?

Search Help - Standard Screen Field: ME21n / ME22n

Helow, experts.
I have to create a search help in the standard screen field "Our Reference" (UNSEZ) in the tab Communication to ME21n / ME22n, anyone could say me how can I code it?
To populate this search help, I have to use 3 different tables.

Search help in Screen Painter

Hi Experts,
I have created a structure in which I have a Date field of type sy-datum. After putting the date field from the structure to the screen painter. When I test the screen in se51 I am getting the search help for date. But when I test thru transaction, I am not getting the search help.
Can some one please help me with this.
Thanks.

Hi Suzie,
Thanks for the reply. I checked my transaction. Since it is a module pool program I have selection the option Program and Screen (DIALOG TRANSACTION ). I have given my program name and screen num. The check box Maintain of standard transcation variant allowed is checked by default. I have check all the three GUI support checkboxes.
That is what I have done. Am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks.

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.
Tks

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
