Hi,
For a given field if you have more number of possible values then go for the Value table or check table.
If you have a few values for a given field, then go for Value ranges. These can be maintained at Domain level for a field.
For each field create a correspondign data element(DE)
In this DE, we can have the FURTHER CHARACTERISTICS tab we can create a search help Or directly from SE11 we can create a SH then attach this to the DE Or we can directly maintian Or At the DOMAIN level we can .
Ex:
LOCATIONS ARE A, B, C, D, G AND CONFERENCE ROOMS OF THESE LOCATIONS ARE,
A1, A2 ,A3,, LIKE WISE FOR REST OF THEM.
Ex:
SE11->
DE and Domain names is LOC.
In SE11->DOMAIN->LOC->
Here as you have a few values we can maintain it in VALUE RANGES tab->
like
A (Description to be given) ie Loc A for Hyderabad
B Bangalore
C
D
G
Room Numbers-> here can createa value table with serial numbers at the Domain level.
Attach the same to the respective DE in the SE11.
Similary we can maitain for Conference room numbers or
We can create a Search help using the two field LOC and RoomNos and create a Elementary search help.
Like this we can do.
Get back if you still have queries on this.

Hi Experts,
          I need to populate an input field with different search helps based on the user action i.e when user selects "Audit" i hav to show the audit search help for my input field, when he selects "Audit Plan" i would hav to show audit plan search help.
My Questions >
1> i intend to use the method set_attribute_value_help of the interface if_wd_context_info and do the coding as :-
data lo_nd_info type if_wd_context_node_info.
lo_nd_info = lo_nd->get_node_info( ).
CALL METHOD lo_nd_info->set_attribute_value_help
        EXPORTING

          value_help_mode = '121'
          value_help      = 'plm_auditplan'.(Help Name)
Is this the correct way to go if not plz suggest a more appropriate method.
2> in the context for that attribute ,what should i specify for the property input field
    Input Help Mode
    i.e should it be deactivated , automatic or should i give the dictionary serach help and specify one of the search helps by giving its name.
Your responses will be greatly appreciated,

How to assign search help for an input field by fetchign values from an int

i have an input field ,
i want to assign search help for the same by fetching values from a table.
how to achieve this ?

Using the below ways you can assign search help to a field.
1) [OVS Search Help|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/OVSsearchhelp]
2) [Freely Programmed Search Help|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/Freelyprogrammedinput+help]
3) Dictonary Help - Use the Data element for that purpose.

In CAT2 - The search help 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.
mini

Hi,
Search helps have a one to one relationship with a screen field. To achive what you are trying to, I would have ZZCITY and ZZNAME side by side, and i would have a drop down only only ZZCITY. The key of the table will be ZZCITY. So when you chose the record, The city will populate in ZZCITY and you can make use of user exit EXIT_SAPLCATS_002 to populate the name automatically in the ZZNAME field.
thanks.

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
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/daeda0d7-0701-0010-8caa-

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 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.

Prakash.

F4 / Help Functionality for input field in custom java iView

Hi,
As we see many F4 help on each input field in a transaction, how can we mimic the same functionality in a Custom Java iView. For example, ME23N, you can search a PO based on some criteria, when i create a new custom java iview using BAPI_PO_DISPLAY, how can provide that F4 or help functionality to the Purchase Order field.
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
the F4 Help functionality is always of big concern when you're switching from a R/3 or ABAP-SAP GUI environment to a webfront end. First of all: the convinience you're used to of creating a seach help and adding it to your data fields is gone, i.e. the current development status in the portal/java/webdynpro implies that you have to do most of the work on your own. Simple value helps might not be a problem, but complex ones are (as the one you've described). Here is a link to a tutorial in Java-webdynpro, maybe it gives you an idea:

PCUI 4.0, Search Help Required for New field

Hi everyone
I am working in CRM 4.0 Sales Order application
We created a new field in CRM sales Order in Header level in SAP GUI through EEWB.
The search help for the new field is working fine in SAP GUI. We want to add the same field with F4 help functionaliity in PCUI as well.
The field has been added in structure CRMT_BSP_SLS_OD1_General. It also shows domain value for the field however Origin of input field ie empty
The field has been added in PCUI and is successfully showing data inputted in SAPGUI
However we need search help functionality for the field
i tried these two steps
1) i checked on domain value checkbox and changed the field from input to dropdown. However the dropdown is empty in PCUI. Whenever i check box domain values for some field then all the possible values in SPA GUI are displayed in PCUI, however this is not working here.
2) I put Value_table in F4 of the field
This is also throwing up empty values
Am i missing something in this case
Please let me know how to go about it
TIA
Asad

Hi Frederic
Thanks for your response
I am not sure what is meant by regenerating the field group in this case
I added the entries for my view in the field group and generated the layout of the field group (If this is what you mean)
The field is working fine. I am able to save values to the field and able to see values saved in GUI.
I haven't linked search help of the field in PCUI
I am not sure how to go about it.
I used the data element in the structure for the field.
The data element has Domain entry in <b>Entry Help/Check</b> of the structure
If i check the Domain Value checkbox in my field group then the domain values should be available in dropdown if the field is dropdown
However i am not able to see the possible values of the field (It is present in SAP GUI)
Does something else needs to be done in this case
TIA

Add search help to IT0006-PSTLZ field

Hi gurus,
what is the procedure of creating a search help for a standard field IT0006-PSTLZ?
Where should I do code implementation?
Possible search help selections should display Z table entries of local postal codes.
Selection of search help entry for PSTLZ should automatically fill P0006-ORT01 that is part of search help (Z table).
Please help.
cheers, Tom

I've already created Z table and search help, but have no ideas on how to linki it with IT0006.
Is there any way to avoid changing standard?
I'm new to enhancements and BAdi, so i'm not sure how to proceed on this one...
Where should this functionality be implemented?
Of course the change to the infotype should only be done in our country specific screen.
Since SAP does not provide this customer requirement by standard, we have to manually speed
up customer data entry and avoid input errors.
thnx, Tom

Search Help for Infotype Custom Field

Hi,
I have created a search help for a custom field in an infotype. What would be the best way of filtering the help selection based on infotype values such as molga, begda, endda?
Thanks in advance.
/Elvez

Hi Nishanth,
thanks for your reply, perhaps I should clarify my question:
1) I have a custom field in an infotype
2) I have a table containing the search help information
3) I assigned a search help to the custom field
4) I have activated a search help exit
The problem is that the information that I get from the custom field is not sufficient for making the selection. Therefore, I would like to somehow get hold of the addition information, such as BEGDA, ENNDA, MOLGA, to do a proper selection in the search help exit. How can I achieve that?
I read something about function module DYNP_VALUES_READ -would it be possible to call this function module from my search help exit and thereby reach my goal?

Change Search Help for Payment Terms Field

Hi,
I would like to change the Search Help for Payment Terms Field, in Customer Master (KNVV-ZTERM). and in Sales Document. I believe it is the same.
Default is From Table T052 / T052U
ZTERM and TEXT1 Fields
I would like to have
From Table TVZBT
ZTERM and VTEXT
PayT Own Explanation Field.
Can we change the Search Help.

Hi,
The search help for the payment terms is not coming from the DDIC search help..
It is coded in the process on value-request event...
The function module FI_F4_ZTERM is called for this..you have to change this function module in case if you want the values from a different table..
OR do implicit enhancement in the subroutine FORM HELP_ZTERM in the include MF02DFH0 to call your search help instead of the function module FI_F4_ZTERM ..And do the same for the sales order also..
Thanks
