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.

Attaching Search Help for screen field in standard transaction

Dear All,
I want to attach my own custom search help for field 'Requiremenr Tracking Number (BEDNR) in PO (ME21n).
How can i do this?
Pls gv the stps.
Thanks a lot.
Kind Regards.

Prasad, you know, when I search forum for answers, I'm really disappointed when I see people have found a solution but don't share, and as the thread was maybe one year old or later, I don't feel to ask because the guy probably don't remember what he did. So giving a little explanation immediately is always a very good idea.

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.

Modify standard screen for ME21N/ME22N

i need to modify ME21N/ME22N's Invoice Tab.
The requirement is to make the invoice tab's tax code and jurisdiction code modifiable at certain conditions.
how to do that?
i've read some posts that suggests some badis and userexits, but it mostly pertains to custom screens.
this has already taken me too long.
pls help

As you said making screen fields modifiable pertaining to Custom screens.
In your code written for custom screens, you can use following syntax to make the fields visible (modifiable) or grayed out (not modifiable) for the fields. use this syntax based on your conditions.
You can modify SCREEN in your ABAP program during the PBO event of a screen. Its contents override the static attributes of the screen fields for a single screen call. The only statements that you can use with SCREEN are:
LOOP AT SCREEN.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.
for more details of this topic pls follow the links.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/9f/dbab6f35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
The following example is selection screen based. but you can use the similar logic in ur program
DATA: d_ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm.
PARAMETERS: p_grpa1(10) MODIF ID A,
p_grpa2(5) MODIF ID A,
p_grpb1(2) MODIF ID B.
PARAMETERS: p_actA RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1 USER-COMMAND ACT DEFAULT 'X',
p_actB RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
d_ucomm = sy-ucomm.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
LOOP AT screen.
IF p_actA = 'X'.
IF screen-group1 = 'B'.
screen-active = 0.
ENDIF.
ELSEIF p_actB = 'X'.
IF screen-group1 = 'A'.
screen-active = 0.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
MODIFY screen.
ENDLOOP.

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
Enhancing a Standard Search Help

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.

How to add Value Table or Search Help for a field which is on Standard SAP?

Hi All,

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Tamas,
I found the reason. The function Z_WEBRFC_READ_DATA_SH had a string concatenation error.
CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
The correct code is like:
CONCATENATE '{"results":[{"key": "shlpname", "value": "' l_shlp '"},{"key": "fieldname", "value": "' l_field '"}]}' INTO htmldoc-line.
Another question is, I can't get any words in Chinese from WebRFC. It returns error when I try it. How can I configure it?

how should i go about it.
plz help.

Hi ANNIE,
Go through the following Procedure to add a Search help to a field of standard Transaction
The Matchcode is replaced by search help from the version 4.6C.
I will tell u how create the search help.
Name of a search help
A search help is an object of the ABAP Dictionary with which input helps
(F4 helps) can be defined.
There are the following types of search helps:
o Elementary search helps implement a search path for determining the
possible entries.
o Collective search helps contain several elementary search helps. A
collective search help therefore provides several alternative search
paths for possible entries.
o Append search helps can be used to enhance collective search helps
delivered by SAP with customer-specific search paths without
requiring a modification.
The three components of the input help process described by a search
help are the outer interface, the online behavior and the method of data
Go to Tcode SE11. Select the search help radio button.
Give name as ztest and click create
There are two types of search help.
Once is elementary search help
& collective search help
Choose one.
Add the data element.
MatchCode is replaced by search helps.
To attach a search help to a field.
Use this code.

How to add a search help for a field in Screen Personas?

Search Help error : Invalid field format Screen error

Hi All,
I have attached a search help to contract field for contract no and item number. (in my own screen developed in a report)
The search help picks up data and assigns it to the fields,
But after this when I click on any other button, I get error saying :
<b>Invalid Field Format (Screen Error) !!!</b>
Any pointers guys !!!
Warm Regards,
Girish

screen checks in abapautomatically checks for format of field when u enter data....i.e date, integer etc...the problem in this case is that when u seelct a value using the help it is filling a value which is not the correct format...so check for the data types and test it again...this is definitely the problem.

Can I change this F4 window title to user custom label?
Thanks
Depesh

Hi Depesh
While creating the search help exit following parameters are mandatory.
Changing
SHLP           TYPE     SHLP_DESCR
CALLCONTROL TYPE     DDSHF4CTRL
Tables
SHLP_TAB         TYPE     SHLP_DESCT
