Search help on selection screen.

I have a selection screen with
Report name
Variant name
Variant fields
Variant fields is attached to a search help 'Z_Search_variant' and this search help fetches values based on "Report name" "Variant name" on the selection screen.
I am using
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR Variant_field
PERFORM f4_help_variant.
FORM f4_help_variant.
call function 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
exporting
   tabname                   = space

OTHERS                    = 5
How do I pass value to this search help? Currently I do not see this FM allowing this option? Any other options?

Hi Vinita,
wat i figured out from your problem is u need how to get values from FM so u can do it in this way..
READ TABLE it_return INTO wa_return INDEX 1.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    wa_output-vkorg = wa_return-fieldval.
ENDIF.
IF wa_output-vkorg IS NOT INITIAL.
    MODIFY it_output FROM wa_output INDEX row_id   * it_output is final ITAB
              TRANSPORTING vkorg.
ENDIF.
CALL METHOD c_alv->refresh_table_display.
CLEAR: wa_return,it_return[],wa_output.

Use At selection-screen for value-request for s_bsart.
SELECT_OTPIONS: s_bsart FOR ekko-bsart.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR s_bsart.
CALL SCREEN 100 STARTING AT 10 5

SUPPRESS DIALOG.
LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING AND RETURN TO SCREEN 0.
SET PF-STATUS space.

s_bsart-low = 'F' / 'CAT=F'.
write :/ s_bsart-low.
Hide: s_bsart-low
clear s_bsart-low.
ENDMODULE.

Check the below solution for your issue - The FM "'RS_SELECTIONSCREEN_READ" is used to get the S_BUKRS values. Even though the FM returns single values of the Select options ( Low & High ) it fits the requirement.As the trick part is...If user enters multiple values or even enters sign for select options, S_BUKRS itself will have the value. That's why we have If else S_BUKRS[] is initial and R_BUKRS. Let me know if you have any issues with the solution provided.

Attaching search help to a screen field

Hi all,
I've created a search help (zhlp) and want to attach it to the screen field in the selection screen of my report.
SELECT-OPTIONS KSCHL FOR VAKE-KSCHL
MEMORY ID VKS.
I've attached zhlp to the screen by defining it on the element list of the screen 1000.
And the original db table T685 already got a search help H_T685, when I run my report and press F4 in the field, it calls the default search help H_T685 but not mine.
Could anyone help me? Thanks.

here is the syntax for assiging search help to selection screen field.
SELECT-OPTIONS KSCHL FOR VAKE-KSCHL MATCHCODE OBJECT ZHLP.
Regards
Raja

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

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.

Restricting values F4 help in selection screen-Urgent

Hi,
can anyone pls tell how can I ristrict the values for search help in any field in selection screen.
please tell me the way to hide some values in F4 help in selection screen so that user can not see those data for selection.

How to add a search help on a screen field from screen painter

Hi,
I would like to add an existing Search Help on a screen field in Screen painter.
Of course it's possible to just click on th screen field and in the property box, I just have to set the name of teh search help.
The problem is that I need the screen field to be grey and user musn't be able to change the field value if he doens't use the search help.
I'm not allowed to modify the existing search help or to built it on my own from source code, I must use the existing one.
Do you have an idea on how to do so?
Regards,
Morgan

Dropdown Box:
In the screen painter for that field goto properties -> Dropdown ->select listbox.
Option 1:
Instead let that field be in change mode and if user enters any wrong entry which is not there in the table give a error messgae.
CHAIN.
    FIELD addr1_data-country.
    MODULE modify_screenfields1.
ENDCHAIN.
MODULE modify_screenfields1 INPUT.
CASE sy-ucomm.
    WHEN 'ENTER' OR 'EXECUTE'.
      IF NOT addr1_data-country IS INITIAL.
        SELECT SINGLE landx FROM t005t INTO lws_landx WHERE
                                      land1 = addr1_data-country
                                  AND spras = 'EN'.
        IF sy-subrc <> 0.
          MESSAGE e000(zo_spa) WITH text-022. " Invalid Country code
        ELSE.
          t005t-landx = lws_landx.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
        CLEAR: t005t-landx.
      ENDIF.
   ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.                 " modify_screenfields1 INPUT
Option 2: Other than if u want the way u like, let that field be greyed out. don't attach the search help.
In the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD addr1_data-region MODULE region_pov.
MODULE region_pov INPUT.
Using the F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST table value request show the search help.
also make that field input enabled.
ENDMODULE.                 " region_pov INPUT
I think this will solve ur problem.
Regards,
Prakash.
