Adding the search help in program

hi i want to add a search help in program for a particular field of a parameter how to do this?

U need to create a serach help exit for this purpose.
F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE - documents the different reasons to use a search help exit, and shows how it is done.
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/dictionary/shelp/shelp_exit.htm
http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/dictionary/shelp/shelp_basic.htm
Create an Elementary Search help:
Eg: Zsearch
In the defintion tab:
Give the search help exit name: Zsearch_exit.
Also give the search help param and data element.
Copy F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE into Zsearch_exit
Comment:
callcontrol-step = 'SELECT'. (1st line)
Inside:
IF CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'SELECT'.
Select required data for the search help
Select stmnts as per your requirement and populate in itab.
Move all the selected records to Record_Tab
    LOOP AT itab INTO wa_itab.
      MOVE wa_itab TO record_tab-string.
      APPEND record_tab.
      CLEAR record_tab.
    ENDLOOP.
    RC = 0 .
    IF RC = 0.
      CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'DISP'.
    ELSE.
      CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'EXIT'.
    ENDIF.
    EXIT. "Don't process STEP DISP additionally in this call.
Let me know if its working for you.

Is it possible to make a search help with dynamic selection table?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to create search helps with dynamic seletion tables means
i dont know the selection table names at the time of creation of search help.
These tables will be determined at runtime.
if yes, Please give an idea how to create and pass the table names at runtime.
Thanks

Select-Options search help with where

Hi Experts,
I need to have a search help in my selection screen with a Where clause.
I've tried to search it but I cant find answers.
The logic is like this, wherein the search help for my selection screen should just have the value PM001 and ZMIS.
SELECT-OPTIONS stsma estat tj30 FOR s_eqpstt FOR tj30t-estat WHERE stsma = 'PM001' and stsma = ZMIS.
Thanks

Sorry, a little more detail... create a view, of search help type, with the columns you present and restrict those two values. Then create the search help with that view. Then add the search help to the select-option.

Edgar

Search Help with Web Dynpro call on another system

Hi all,
I have to create a search help with web dynpro on a field but the database is on another system... How can I do?
Many Thanks in advance...

I would use a search help exit. Nothing WDA specific here, as this has been possible long before WDA came around. With a search help exit you define the search help like normal, but instead of database table or view being the source of selection, you have a function module. Within the coding of this function module you can call an RFC to read data from another system or call a web service if you need to bridge over to something that isn't ABAP based.
You can read more about Search Help Exits here:

Search help freely programmed

Hi all,
is anyone able to explain me how to use Search Help freely programmed?
thanks
GN

Hi Gabriele,
Please go through the component DEMO_VALUE_HELP. This explains all the input help types. The freely programmed search help has been implemented for the CONNID input field of view V1. The Web Dynpro component FREE_VALUE_HELP in the same package is the component where the search help is coded.
Also below are the steps to be followed for implementing the freely programmed search help.
This kind of value help is implemented as a Web Dynpro component implementing the Web Dynpro
component interface IWD_VALUE_HELP. To be able to use the value help for a certain input field, the following steps are necessary:
1) A component usage of the value help component (HC) has to be declared
by the consumer component (CC).
2) A usage of the HC interface controller has to be declared in the CC view.
3) The input help mode User-Defined Programming has to be chosen for the attribute that is bound to the input field under consideration. The HC usage must be related to this attribute. The component interface of the HC has only one method: set_value_help_listener( ). This method is called by the Web Dynpro runtime if the value help button of the input field under consideration is clicked. The HC has to be implemented as follows:
1) The method set_value_help_listener( ) has an import parameter. This means that the reference to the listener, provided by the Web Dynpro runtime, is passed to the user-defined HC. This reference has to be saved as a user defined controller attribute.
2) To close the help value dialog box, the close_window( ) method of the listener has to be used.
3) All views have to be embedded into a window having the name WD_VALUE_HELP. This name is used by the Web Dynpro runtime.
4) To exchange data between the CC and the HC, context mapping can be used.
For implementing the component interface IWD_VALUE_HELP, you need to choose the Reimplement button in the HC. The implementation status changes to green and the events and the method of the component interface are visible in the HC controller.

Search help with new selection within if more than 500 entries

Dear all,
I created a new search help and this works fine ... If I compare my search help with a default search help from SAP, I have 1 small feature that not seems to work ... With the default one, it is possible to make a new selection within the search help by clicking on the arrow down :
If I look at my search help, I don't have the possibility to make a new selection :
Does anyone how this can be done ?
Thanks in advance !
Greetz,
Kurt.

HI,
Here are the general steps to get you started.
1. Identify the search help being used (on the ship-to-party field, F1 then Tech Info). I believe you want the collective search help SD_DEBI.
2. Create your own search help with the fields you want to use with SE11, like 'ZDEBI' as an example.
3. Append 'ZDEBI' to SD_DEBI. (Goto->Append Search Help).
4. Clean things up by "Hiding" the old search help. In the 'Included Search Help' tab of the collective search help SD_DEBI, there is a check box that you can tick to hide included search helps.

Help needed with search help with ina search help

Hi all,
i have a field fld1 (non primary key )and to the dataelement of that field a search help is assigned in table ztable1.
That search help is referring to a table in which fld1 is primary key in ztable2.
I have created another search help with all the fileds in ztable1 and iam using this search help in a selection screen returning another field say fld2.
in this search help i have drill down for fld2, which in turn gives the fields of ztable2.
This is working fine.
i have created another search help with the fields of ztable1 but this time its its returning the value of fld1. for some reason in this search i am not able to see the drill downn for fld1 .
can anyone tell me how to get the drill down even the import parameteris fld1
Thanks

hi,
any suggestions on this

Freely programmed search help with external mapping

Hi all.
I have a freely programmed search help to search for physical inventory items.
I map some data from the component where i use this search help to this search help via external mapping. This works fine.
But in the search help I want to be able to change the mapped data to perform a new serach. When I change the data and start the action to search again (in the serach help component) I still get the old field value from context so that the search returns the same result. When I close the search help afterwards the changes are suddenly visible in the using component. So my entered data are somehow transfered to the original context but not to the context of the used component.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sascha

Hi Sascha,
I would suggest, that you do not work with the externally mapped attribute.
Try to copy the value to a "local" attribute in the searchhelp context while WDDOINIT of the component.
This is the attribute you should use for the search.
When you change the searchvalue, it is only changed in the comnponent.
To get the values back to the calling component you need to copy it back while you call the action submit or exit.
Hope this helps
Best regards, Matthias

Search help with multiple key fields

Hi,
I want to dispaly search help on a field from a internal table have multiple key fields i.e combination of fld1 + fld2 +fld3 makes one single row. Therfore can any one tell me how to return that single row , because if I am using function F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST I get only one return field that I select by which I can't get the actual line that I have selected as there may be more that one line for that field.
please suggest any way through programming not by creating any search help through se11.
thanks

Hi,
Use select query to select the fields & display them.
In the following code i've selected only a single field in select query but u can do it for more than 1 & proceed similarly.i've tried it before using this code.
SELECT WERKS
         NAME1
         FROM T001W
         INTO TABLE ITEMP
         WHERE IWERK = 'M011'.

Using Search Help with ALV and Dynamic context node

The topic subject already describes my situation.
I have to create, populate and remove context nodes at runtime, and bind them to an ALV, to let user display the data or modify the data. The nodes I create are always typed with a table name, but the table name is of course, dynamic.
This is all working: what's not working is help for entries inside the ALV; since the table has foreign keys and domains with check tables or fixed values, I expected that search helps were detected and managed by the framework.
Instead, no help search is displayed except the input help based on data-type of the one "Date" input fields.
I think I have to work on the dynamic node creation, and not on the ALV itself, since the latter only takes the node/attributes information, but i could be wrong. I tried with both the two following codings:
CALL METHOD lo_nd_info_root->add_new_child_node
    EXPORTING
      static_element_type          = vs_tabname
      name                         = 'SAMPLE_NODE_NAME'
*    is_mandatory                 = abap_false
*    is_mandatory_selection       = abap_false
     is_multiple                  = abap_true
     is_multiple_selection        = abap_false
*    is_singleton                 = abap_false
      is_initialize_lead_selection = abap_false
      is_static                    = abap_false
    RECEIVING
      child_node_info              = lo_nd_info_data .
cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>create_nodeinfo_from_struct(
      parent_info = lo_nd_info_root
      node_name = 'SAMPLE_NODE_NAME'
      structure_name = vs_tabname
      is_multiple = abap_true ).
The result is the same...is there any way to let the ALV know what search helps it has to use, and doesn't force me to manually build a VALUE_SET to be bound on the single attributes? There are many tables, with many fields, and maintaining this solution would be very costly.

I have checked with method GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUEHELP_TYPE of interface IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO, on an attribute which i know to have a search help (Foreign key of a check table).
The method returns 'N', that is the constant IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_HANDLER~CO_VH_TYPE_NO_HELP. So, the framework was not able to find a suitable search help.
Using method GET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_HELP of the same interface, on the same attribute, returns me '111', which is constant C_VALUE_HELP_MODE-AUTOMATIC.
Therefore, the WD framework knows it has to automatically detect a value help, but fails to find one.
Also, this means in my opinion that the ALV and the dynamic external mapping are not the culprits: since node creation, no help is detected for any attribute but the date. Honestly, I don't have a clue on what's happening.

Search Help with in a serach help required in SRM 4.0

Hi,
Requirement: Search help required for Product Category field in the Search help for Product(BBPH_PRODUCT) in SRM portal.
This search help is used in Create shopping Cart transaction. The hyper link on Internal Goods/Services leads to the search help BBPH_PRODUCT.
My analysis:
The field Product Category (CATEGORY_ID) has search help(COM_CAT_HIER) attached to its data element. When I single test the search help BBPH_PRODUCT in SAP GUI,I can see the search help for field product category in the selection dialogue box. However the same does not appear on the corresponding screen in HTML.
Please let me know whether I need to do some thing to make the search help appear on the HTML screen?
With Regards,
Prakash Kamath

Hi Prakash,
I have the same problem but with another field. Unloading point. Could you please tell me how did you solve this problem with displaying F4 help on html/ SRM portal?
Thank you very much.

Custom search help with F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST to retrieve 2 columns

Hi all,
i have a problem to retrieve selected value from a custom search help. I need to retrieve 2 columns from the selected line. eg. there are A,B,C,D column in the search help. I need to get the B and D. can anyone help? Thanks

For achieving this follow the following 4 steps:
1. While calling F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST pass the importing paramter return_tab to make the data selected by the user IN SELECTION screen. Remember that without this the user entry is avaliable only at START OF SELECTION.
2. Use this value to READ TABLE your internal table to get the value of other column.
3. Load an internal table with values you want to assign to selection screen fields.
4. Assign values to the field in selection field using Fn Module: 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'.
Example:
DATA: ......,
    lit_fields     type table of dynpread,
    ls_fields      type dynpread,
    lit_ret_tab    type table of ddshretval,
    ls_ret_tab     type ddshretval.
. call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    exporting
      retfield        = 'VARI'
      dynpprog        = sy-cprog
      dynpnr          = sy-dynnr
      dynprofield     = 'P_VARI'
      value_org       = 'S'
    tables
      value_tab       = lit_abc
      return_tab      = lit_ret_tab
    exceptions
      parameter_error = 1
      no_values_found = 2
      others          = 3.
check sy-subrc eq 0.
*-----get the entered value of field vari
read table lit_ret_tab into ls_ret_tab index 1.
lv_vari = ls_ret_tab-fieldval.
check sy-subrc eq 0.
*-----get value of the other column vari_d
read table lit_abc into ls_abc with key vari = lv_vari.
lv_vari_d = ls_abc-vari_d.
*----- Append to an internal table with values you want to assin to selection screen fields.
ls_fields-fieldname = 'P_VARI'.
ls_fields-fieldvalue = lv_vari.
append ls_fields to lit_fields.
ls_fields-fieldname = 'P_VARI_D'.
ls_fields-fieldvalue = lv_vari-d.
append ls_fields to lit_fields.
*---- Assign values to the field in selection field
call function 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
    exporting
      dyname               = sy-cprog
      dynumb               = sy-dynnr
    tables
      dynpfields           = lit_fields
    exceptions
      invalid_abapworkarea = 1
      invalid_dynprofield = 2
      invalid_dynproname   = 3
      invalid_dynpronummer = 4
      invalid_request      = 5
      no_fielddescription = 6
      undefind_error       = 7
      others               = 8.
