Search Help screen in the BSP

Hi,
Our requirement is to provide the search help for a field. The Search help pop up should have three input fields 'UserId', 'First Name' and 'Last Name'. The pop up should not be table. In the pop up, we can give some input value and based on that the relevant entry needs to be fetched, then we need to choose that entry. That chosen entry should be moved to our input screen.

Hi
please check this thread

Skip Search Help Screen

Hi All,
I have a standard SAP ABAP dictionary Search help. I want to execute that search help programmatically and get the return values in a internal table. Please note that I dont want the pop-up's for the Selection screen of Search help. Also I dont want the return values to be displayed as pop-up. I want the return values in internal table. Any suggestions to do this?
Thanks & Regards,
Mayank Agarwal

Hi,
If u don't want search help pop up screen, then no need to go for search help.
Anyway search help also doing database retrieval only, it is fetching data from database.
so u can directly fetch the data from database and put it into an internal table.
The execution time also will be reduced.
What u have to do is , analyse that search help from which table it is fetching data at wat condition.
there will be a search help exit for that search help in the elementary search help . This exit is FM.
In this FM They might have done validation or check that elementary search help to get the fields displayed on the pop up and the table from it is fetching the data.

Hi Jaya,
1. Create a search help using SE11.
2. Include this search help in the field of table in SE11. There is a tab in the table defination where you can specify the search help.
Even you can specify search help at data element level, screen field level.
Reward points if useul.

Search help Enhancement for the Material Number (MAT1 - Search help name)

Hi ,
In my Requirement if the user clicks on the Material Number Search help(eg in ME51N - T.code: Material )
It will shown a additional Search help along with the existing one.
That search help would have input parameter fields as Material Number , Material Group , Material description , Plant and storage location.
The output screen has to display the Available Quantity for the input material, plant and storage location.
The available quantity has to calculated from various Tables like mard , mssq etc.
My question is how to display the available quantity in the search help screen, i tried with search help exit but not successful.
I am displaying the remaining fields(except available quantity) using database view from different tables like Mara , Mard ,Makt.
where to write the Logic for the Available Quantity to display it in search help.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello,
if this search help is collective then you could delete standard single (SAP allows maintain collective search help with out object key registration) one and insert custom search help which has the same structure plus additional field.

SAP CRM Search Help - defaulting values in search help screen

Hi All,
I am working on search help object in service order(Amount allocation ) BTAMNTALL component view name vIEW:BTAMNTALL/HdrBillplanDet and field name STRUCT.AC_ASSIGNMENT. in that block if we select account assignment type as ERP cost center it will give standard search help in Select account assignment field.
Its basically calling the standard search help CRMT_AC_ASSIGN_KOSTL_E. After pressing F4 it will display the popup Controlling area cost center and description. Basically I need to default the Controlling area in F4 help based on some logic.I am not sure where to write code for this one.
Please find the attachment where I need to default the value. any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sapsar.

At least can you read the document I provided carefully? the point 2.3.1.2 give you the answer.
Anyway if the document doesn't specify "defining a default value" but give you some ideas/hints, you only need to use a little your imagination. Like:
1- Use a custom search help with a constant (static)
2- Use a custom search help with a search exit to determine the data that you need from the sales org of course you need to add the orgunit as an input parameter for the search help and supress the input parameter which will be determined in the search help exit (dynamic)
3- Create a value node for the context (hidden) and put the info you need once you select the sales org in the hidden attribute/s, this hidden attributes should be mapped in the get_v method (dynamic, not sure if this will work, I never tried, but will be nice if you try and give us some feedback)

Search help is populating the input field with wrong data

Hi Guys,
I have created a ZCITY table for which has below 2 field
ZZCITY (Code ) (5 Char) u2013 Key field
ZZNAME (City Name ) (40 Character)
I have added a custom field ZZCITY & ZZNAME in CI_CATSDB. Funtional guy has configured to make ZZNAME as VISIBLE and ZZCITY is HIDDEN on CAT2 screen in Data Entry area.
I created search help on table ZCITY with export parameters as ZZCITY and ZZNAME.
In SE11, I have mapped the export parameters with CI_CATSDB
Now in tcode CAT2, when I press F4 on City Name field, the list is displayed with City code and City names. And when I select any city code, the ZZNAME is populated by City code instead of City name.
I want that City Name should be populated in ZZNAME and City Code should be populated in hidden field ZZCITY.
Please tell me how I can fix this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Try selecting the Improting Check box aswell. if a screen field is hidden or display mode we can not use F4 help for that field.
you can also take the help of DYNP_READ_VALUES to get the selected value before PAI
Check whats happening in Debug.
Cheers

How to disable buttons in Search help screen ?

Hi All,
How do we disable Print button in customer search help ?
We want that nobody should be able to take a printout of Customers from Search help result. Hence we want to disable the print button which comes in Search help.
Any idea how do we go about it ?
Regards,
Ashish

Hi there,
you should be able to do that with the search help exit. Try replacing the PF-STATUS for instance. I am not sure if this works though!
For instance:
IF call_control-step = 'PRESEL'.
SET PF_STATUS 'ZZ' OF PROGRAM 'ZZZ'
ENDIF.
Or you might call the existing PF-STATUS and use EXCLUDING.

Hi Saumya,
I have looked at the WikiI. It descripes ways of providing value help for Category Depending on the value help for Main category. I am not sure whether this scenario explained for a single view or two differenent views containing Main Category & Category.
In my case, I need to provide value help for ID_TYPE in IUICMD/DetailAccount view depending on the selected Business Partner (Either Person or Organization) from IUICMD/HitlistAccount view. For Persons we have BUPA_IDTYPE_PRS search help & for Organization we have BUPA_IDTYPE_ORG search help.
Hope you understand my requirement better and you have some feedback for me.

Applying search help on the screen fields of a module pool program

hi all
i am creating a sales order against a purchase order i am stuck at applying the search helps
i have header data (only mandatory fields),items data,partner data(all mandatory fields)
i want to have input search help as if i select sales document type then corresponding sales organizations should appear and when i select all the header data the search help that is on the material number and partners role and number should appear corresponding to that header data
i found following search helps as:-
h_vakz and h_mvke
not able to apply please guide someone
thanks
varun

i want to have input search help as if i select sales document type then corresponding sales organizations should appear
This would be quite opposite of what h_vakz does. h_vakz gives Sales document based on Sales org..and you want vice versa. Create a simple SH with
selection method : TVAKZ
AUART as importing only
VKORG as exporting only. So when you enter an AUART you get all VKORG it is defined in. I'm not aware of a standard search help which matches the requirement. If anybody does please help me.
i have header data (only mandatory fields),items data,partner data(all mandatory fields)
and when i select all the header data the search help that is on the material number and partners role and number should appear corresponding to that header data
You will have to be more specific sir..
not able to apply please guide someone
As for that just mention them in SCREEN->ELEMENT LIST->REFERENCES

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

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.

i want to set the search help for more I/O fields in se80 but all the fields belongs to the same table?

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.

Bhaskar

How to populate data from screen on to search help field

Hello all,
I have a requirement in which for a field i have attached a search help and i am calling the search help by using the FM

I have one additional requirement that whernever any data is entered on the screen field say ( A* ) then F4 is pressed on the search help in the field this value must be considered. Now it appears blank but i want this data to get populated from the screen
field how can i achieve it.
Warm Regards,
Naveen M

hii naveen,
YOu have to make use of the function modules:
DYNP_VALUES_READ Read screen field values before PAI field transport
DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE Change screen field contents w/o PBO
Each of which is very well documented
or
trigger the drop-down in POV.
PROCESS PAI.
FIELD <FIELD>.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD FIELD MODULE F4HELP_FOR_FIELD.
MODULE F4HELP_FOR_FIELD.
> Call search help: see the fm VRM_* to manage dropdown list
DATA: DYNAME LIKE D020S-PROG,
DYNUMB LIKE D020S-DNUM.
DATA DYNPFIELDS LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF DYNPREAD WITH HEADER LINE.
DYNPFIELDS-FIELDNAME = <other field name>.
DYNPFIELDS-FIELDVALUE = <value>.
APPEND DYNPFIELDS.
CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
EXPORTING
DYNAME = DYNAME
DYNUMB = DYNUMB
TABLES
DYNPFIELDS = DYNPFIELDS.
ENDMODULE.
