Search Help: Multiple Return Values in WD4A

Hello,
I would like to fill more than one fields on my WD4A screen when executing a search help for one input field.
So I need to manage somehow to get all the export parameters from the search help and post them to a context node.
Simple example: The customer sales view consists of sales org and customer number. The search help contains both of them as export parameter. So when the user selects one user I need to get and show the sales organization as well.
In "normal" SAP Dynpro development its quite easy as shown in thread
Re: Export search help results to more dynpro fields.
But how can I execute a search help in WD4A to get all the export parameters?
Thanks for you help!!
Kind regards,
Hendrik

Hi,
found the answer by myself.
The solution is:
- Create a structure which contains the fields for the search help.
- then create the search help with all required export parameters.
- Assign the search help to the corresponding field in the structure.
- Create the context node with reference to the structure.
All context node attributes are then filled automatically.

Search help to return multiple values

Hi all,
I've created a search help and I'd like it to return several values to different fields, I don't want these fields to be seen on the selection screen.
For example:
1. User clicks on search help for FIELD1 and selects a value from the pop-up box
2. Program populates FIELD1 depending on the user selection
3. Program also populates FIELD2 and FIELD3 which can be used in the program at a later date.
I can do 1 and 2 but I'm having an issue with 3. I've tried selecting all fields in the search help as Export, but although that populates the fields in the search help test facility, it doesn't know which fields I want it to populate in my program.
I've also tried using FM F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST but can only get this to return one line in table RETURN_TAB.
The screen fields are declared as:
PARAMETERS: FIELD1 LIKE TAB1-FIELD1 MATCHCODE ZSEARCH_HELP,
FIELD2 LIKE TAB1-FIELD2 NO-DISPLAY,
FIELD3 LIKE TAB1-FIELD3 NO-DISPLAY.
Any help is appreciated.
Gill

Thanks for your suggestion but what I failed to put in my original post was that FIELD1 is a description field and FIELD2 and FIELD3 are the actual key fields for the table which I need.
So, I can't do your suggestion of populating them based on FIELD1, I need to know which line the user selects to populate these key fields as FIELD1 may not be unique within the table.
Does that make sense?
That's why I wanted the search help to return all 3 values then I can populate FIELD2 and FIELD3 from that.

Multiple return values (Bug-ID 4222792)

I had exactly the same request for the same 3 reasons: strong type safety and code correctness verification at compile-time, code readability and ease of mantenance, performance.
Here is what Sun replied to me:
Autoboxing and varargs are provided as part of
JSRs 14 and 201
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=14
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=201
See also:
http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=316
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/earlyAccess/adding_generics/index.html
Multiple return values is covered by Bug-ID 4222792
Typically this is done by returning an array.
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4222792.html
That's exactly the problem: we dynamically create instances of array objects that would better fit well within the operand stack without stressing the garbage collector with temporary Array object instances (and with their backing store: 2 separate allocations that need to be recycled when it is clearly a pollution that the operand stack would clean up more efficiently)
If you would like to engage in a discussion with the Java Language developers, the Generics forum would be a better place:
http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jsp?forum=316
I know that (my report was already refering to the JSR for language extension) Generics is not what I was refering to (even if a generic could handle multiple return values, it would still be an allocated Object
instance to pack them, i.e. just less convenient than using a static class for type safety.
The most common case of multiple return values involve values that have known static datatypes and that should be checked with strong typesafety.
The simple case that involves returning two ints then will require at least two object instances and will not solve the garbage collection overhead.
Using a array of variable objects is exactly similar, except that it requires two instances for the components and one instance for the generic array container. Using extra method parameters with Integer, Byte, ... boxing objects is more efficient, but for now the only practical solution (which causes the least pollution in the VM allocator and garbage collector) is to use a custom class to store the return values in a single instance.
This is not natural, and needlessly complexifies many interfaces.
So to avoid this pollution, some solutions are used such as packing two ints into a long and returning a long, depacking the long after return (not quite clean but still much faster at run-time for methods that need to be used with high frequencies within the application. In some case, the only way to cut down the overhead is to inline methods within the caller code, and this does not help code maintenance by splitting the implementation into small methods (something that C++ can do very easily, both because it supports native types parameters by reference, and because it also supports inline methods).
Finally, suppose we don't want to use tricky code, difficult to maintain, then we'll have to use boxing Object types to allow passing arguments by reference. Shamely boxed native types cannot be allocated on the operand stack as local variables, so we need to instanciate these local variables before call, and we loose the capacity to track the cases where these local variables are not really initialized by an effective call to the method that will assign them. This does not help debugging, and is against the concept of a strongly typed language like Java should be:
Java makes lots of efforts to track uninitialized variables, but has no way to determine if an already instanciated Object instance refered in a local variable has effectively received an effective assignment because only the instanciation is kept. A typical code will then need to be written like this:
Integer a = null;
Integer b = null;
if (some condition) {
//call.method(a, b, 0, 1, "dummy input arg");
// the method is supposed to have assigned a value to a and b,
// but can't if a and b have not been instanciated, so we perform:
call.method(a = new Integer(), b = new Integer(), 0, 1, "dummy input
arg");
// we must suppose that the method has modified (not initialized!)
the value
// of a and b instances.
now.use(a.value(), b.value())
// are we sure here that a and b have received a value????
// the code may be detected at run-time (a null exception)
// or completely undetected (the method() above was called but it
// forgot to assign a value to its referenced objects a and b, in which
// case we are calling in fact: now.use(0, 0); with the default values
// or a and b, assigned when they were instanciated)
Very tricky... Hard to debug. It would be much simpler if we just used:
int a;
int b;
if (some condition) {
(a, b) = call.method(0, 1, "dummy input arg");
now.use(a, b);
The compiler would immediately detect the case where a and b are in fact not always initialized (possible use bere initialization), and the first invoked call.method() would not have to check if its arguments are not null, it would not compile if it forgets to return two values in some code path...
There's no need to provide extra boxing objects in the source as well as at run-time, and there's no stress added to the VM allocator or garbage collector simply because return values are only allocated on the perand stack by the caller, directly instanciated within the callee which MUST (checked at compile-time) create such instances by using the return statement to instanciate them, and the caller now just needs to use directly the variables which were referenced before call (here a and b). Clean and mean. And it allows strong typechecking as well (so this is a real help for programmers.
Note that the signature of the method() above is:
class call {
(int, int) method(int, int, String) { ... }
id est:
class "call", member name "method", member type "(IILjava.lang.string;)II"
This last signature means that the method can only be called by returning the value into a pair of variables of type int, or using the return value as a pair of actual arguments for another method call such as:
call.method(call.method("dummy input arg"), "other dummy input arg")
This is strongly typed and convenient to write and debug and very efficient at run-time...

Can anyone give me some real-world examples where
multiple return values aren't better captured in a
class that logically groups those values? I can of
course give hundreds of examples for why it's better
to capture method arguments as multiple values instead
of as one "logical object", but whenever I've hankered
for multiple return values, I end up rethinking my
strategy and rewriting my code to be better Object
Oriented.I'd personally say you're usually right. There's almost always a O-O way of avoiding the situation.
Sometimes though, you really do just want to return "two ints" from a function. There's no logical object you can think of to put them in. So you end up polluting the namespace:
public class MyUsefulClass {
public TwoInts calculateSomething(int a, int b, int c) {
public static class TwoInts {
    //now, do I use two public int fields here, making it
    //in essence a struct?
   //or do I make my two ints private & final, which
   //requires a constructor & two getters?
//and while I'm at it, is it worth implementing
//equals(), how about hashCode()? clone()?
//readResolve() ?
}The answer to most of the questions for something as simple as "TwoInts" is usually "no: its not worth implementing those methods", but I still have to think about them.
More to the point, the TwoInts class looks so ugly polluting the top level namespace like that, MyUsefulClass.TwoInts is public, that I don't think I've ever actually created that class. I always find some way to avoid it, even if the workaround is just as ugly.
For myself, I'd like to see some simple pass-by-value "Tuple" type. My fear is it'd be abused as a way for lazy programmers to avoid creating objects when they should have a logical type for readability & maintainability.
Anyone who has maintained code where someone has passed in all their arguments as (mutable!) Maps, Collections and/or Arrays and "returned" values by mutating those structures knows what a nightmare it can be. Which I suppose is an argument that cuts both ways: on the one hand you can say: "why add Tuples which would be another easy thing to abuse", on the other: "why not add Tuples, given Arrays and the Collections framework already allow bad programmers to produce unmainable mush. One more feature isn't going to make a difference either way".
Ho hum.

Form disappears when clicking search help multiple times

Hi All,
I have created an interactive adobe form with Web dynpro application.
We have multiple multiple search helps (custom and standard) on the form.
when the user clicks on any search helps multiple times (4-5 times), the whole form disappears.
Please provide some solution / hints.
Best regards,
Meep.

We are not facing this problem on Adobe 9.4. The newest v10.1 has this problem.
Also, this issue is only on 1 server and on other, it works fine.
We are using Native control with ZCI layout.

Multiple return values in Customized elementary search help

Hello,
I have a requirement when i select the value from F4 . It should populate the more than one return values in ALV grid in different rows .
Any FM or help search exit is available to do this .
Regards,
kevin

Hi Kevin,
About your first question, for filling several fields of an ALV from a single F4 search help, I think that you should register F4 event to call the search help yourself (F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST for instance), and fill the ALV fields inside your F4 handler method. If you used REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, then I am not sure how you can handle F4, but you can do it using CL_GUI_ALV_GRID or SALV classes. See BCALV_TEST_GRID_F4_HELP.
About the second question, for filling automatically another field in the same row in the ALV grid, it should work automatically, as for normal dynpros, i.e. the search help must have these 2 fields defined as exporting, and these 2 fields of the ALV field catalog must refer to the same DDic structure, the search help must be assigned there to the field, and fill in the 2 exporting parameters too.

Values from Search help not returned to UI

Hi,
For a field on Web UI, i have to open a popup which would be configured from a search help created in transaction SE11. The search help uses a Searchhelp Exit. On the UI, I am getting the popup but the value i select is not reflecting on the UI. The moment i select the value, the popup closes. The 'Get_XXX' method of the attribute also does not triggered. Following is the code which i am using to call the search help in the GET_V_XXX method of the attribute.

Elementary Search help with distinct values. Kindly help!

Hi Experts,
I have to create a search help for Plant field. The Plant field is in a custom table YPLANT_DET. Unfortunately the plant field in this table is not unique.
So the elementary search help will show duplicate plant entries.
How to customize the elementary search help so that I get only distict values on F4 help?

Search help multiple selection of search results

Hi,
I have a search help (SE11) and it is correctly integrated in my WDP4A application using 'automatic' search help integration. Unfortunately multiple selection of search results does not seem to be supported (the ok button greys out when >1 result is selected). Is there a standard way to link a search help to an attribute in a 0..n value node, so that at runtime a new context element is created for each selected search result? Or do I have to recreate the search help from scratch to get this behaviour (OVS)?
If the latter is true, then why is it even possible to select multiple search results?
Kind regards,
Jeroen

Hallo Jeroen,
OVS standard configuration does not allow you to select more than one configuration, You need to specify that explicitely on Phase-0 of OVS using the set_configuration method.

WDA Search Help Multiple Selection

Hello everyone,
I've managed to integrate a standard search help into my WD ABAP application.
The thing is that from the search help pop-up I can select multiple rows but when I select more than 1 row in the help value list the OK button is greyed out.
I would like to select more than 1 entry and transfer it back to the associated input field, like a list of values separated by a comma.
How can I implement this?
Thanks!

To be honest I didn't mean that.
I've integrated a standard search help in my WDA, just defining a context attribute bound to a dictionary field having a search help. Now I'd like to have a multiple selection enabled for it.
What I am getting is a General Value List from which I cannot transfer multiple values back to the caller.
Is there a way to do it?

ALV grid - using f4 search help - want separate value from hit list

I have the following scenario that I am trying to resolve.
I have created my own search help with a search help exit for a bespoke maintenance table which lists categories against HR positions which are to receive workflow for these categories. I am designing a front-end for this table using an ALV grid whereby the person holding that position (i.e. name) is shown instead of position number. The search help allows you to select by First name and last name and brings up a hit list which includes employee number, first name last name, formatted name field, position number, position description and org unit it belongs in.
The issue occurs where the list brings back more than one hit.
e.g.:
1 Fred     Bloggs Fred Bloggs 50000001 pos1 org 1
2 Frederic Bloggs Fred Bloggs 50000002 pos2 org 3
If you select an entry, the formatted name field goes in the ALV grid field. I call the search help via F4IF_FIELDVALUE_REQUEST using the onf4 event .
What I want to do is retrieve the position number of the entry selected and put this into another table without having to add this to my ALV grid and make available for input. I want to use name only for the input in my ALV grid (i.e. if I select the second example, the return table in F4IF_FIELDVALUE_REQUEST shows the name Fred Bloggs but does not show the position number which I need to add to another table to update my maintenance table).
Can anyone suggest any way around this?
Many thanks
Larissa

You are right, you can add this fields as an import parameter to the list.
In Custom search help you must have marked fields as Export or Import parameters.
If field is marked as Export parameters, it will be displayed in the selection pop up.
If Import paramter check box is selected then this will be imported to the screen.
Check this SAP documentation for both these options -
Flag for IMPORT parameter of the search help
     Flag if the parameter is an import parameter.
Context information from the processed input template (screen) can be
     copied to the help process with an import parameter. Where an import
     parameter gets its values from is defined when the search help is
     attached to the corresponding field of the input template.
Flag for EXPORT parameter of the search help
Flag if the parameter is an export parameter.
Values can be returned from the hit list to the input template (screen)
     with an export parameter. The fields of the input template in which the
     contents of the export parameter are returned are defined by the search
     help attachment.

Issue in custom search help for Suggest Value

Hi,
I have a requirement to have the suggest values pick up the records form any par of the string. Basically, using pattern. I have written the code in search help exit and it work in some cases and doesnt work for others.Eg. The result shows up for 123 but doesnt show for 1234, even though 1234 exists and it had showed up when i keyed in 123.
My select quest works fine and i can see the values in record tab but on the screen. What could be going wrong.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Issue Resolved. For less than 50 records, client side filtering takes over. In that case the search help exit will not come into picture. Issue resolved by avoiding client side rendering.

Search Help from SAP values using WebDynpro ABAP in ADOBE Interactive Form

Hi,
How to populate search help on ADOBE interactive online form which is residing on a WebDynpro ABAP application?
Thanks & Regards,
Sandip amar

HI,
Adobe from is integraated with R/3 just like smartform.
So if u use any DDIC tabel field which have inbuilt search help then it will automatically intergrated with Adobe form.
If not then u have to make at ztable via foreign key or via FM at program level.
