Searching characters in numric field

Hi all,
I would like to find , whether atleast one character is present in a numeric variable.
568866A55 should tell me that is A is present in the variable.
regards,
Satya

First thing Variable of type N will not contain any characters it can only containm variables from 0 to 9.
in character type _string if you have these values.
use search.
SEARCH F FOR a.
if sy-subrc = 0.
endif.
or use CS sattement
if string1 cs 'a'.

How to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field

HI All
i need to accomodate more than 255 characters in character field. How can i do that ?
thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
You can try the following things:
1. Use a datatype STRING and check it will work.
2. In se11 transaction goto datatype and search for char* in data elements.
You will find predefined data types ,you can make use of it.
For eg. char2000,char3000,char4000 etc.
Hope this will help.

How can I pull info into a report using just the first two characters of that field?

I am trying to pull a total cost based upon locations in a particular area(s). Can I get the formula to just do this based on the first two characters of that field?
Here is what I have so far:
if {PACKED.LOCATIONS.NEXT OPERATION} = ["xx"] THEN {Job.Total_Price}
Packed locations is a table I'm pulling from and the column I want just the first two digits is the the Next operation. Once this meets the "xx" (whatever location) then give me the total price from the Job table.
This works for one or two orders, but then blows up when I do 10 or so.

Hi Steve, assuming that Next Operation is a string field...
Create a new formula and place it in the field where you see the {Job.Total_Price} field (Detail or Group depending on your report) with the formula:
whileprintingrecords;
global numbervar TotalValue;
if len({? Replace me}) <= len({PACKED.LOCATIONS.NEXT OPERATION}) then(
if left(ucase({PACKED.LOCATIONS.NEXT OPERATION}),len({? Replace me})) = ucase({? Replace me}) then
TotalValue := TotalValue + {Job.Total_Price}
TotalValue;
You can go ahead and suppress that field.
Create a new formula to place where you want to view the summary using the formula:
whileprintingrecords;
global numbervar TotalValue;
This method allows for a higher degree of flexibility and you can search for the first x characters of that field instead of only the first 2 characters

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 do I search contacts by a field other than name (e.g. category)?

I recently switched from Blackberry to iPhone 4, and I use my iPhone 4 primarily for business. I have a PC and use Outlook as my contacts application.
I regularly populate my Outlook contact records with various notes, and I regularly categorize my contacts. With Blackberry I could (and regularly did) search my contacts by fields other than by contact name (e.g. words which I had entered into fields such as Notes, City, State, Company, or Category, and this was very useful. For example, if I created a category called "Accountants" and categorized 3 contacts in that category, I could search my contacts for "Accountants" on my Blackberry and it would show a list of the 3 contacts I have who are Accountants. Or if I wanted a list of all contacts who reside in Chicago so that I can put together a slate of meetings during a visit to Chicago, I could search my contacts for "Chicago" and the search would result in a list of all my contacts with "Chicago" in their record (either in location, category, or notes fields).
With iPhone 4, so far I've only figured out how to search the name fields of my contact records, but hopefully it is possible to search other fields or the entire contact record. How do I do that?
Thanks.

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.

How to implement SEARCH HELP for input field in WDA

Hi All,
I am doing a tool for my team. in this tool there are 4 input fields to show different processes. I implemented the 4 input fields and also bind the respective tables to these fields successfully. Actually I want to filter the data between 2 fields . Means the data in the 2nd input field should be based on the 1st input field. Means when I'll select for example 'CHI' (code for CHINA) in the 1st input field the 2nd field meant for country name should show all country name with value 'CHINA'. But the problem is that all values related to each field are in different table with no foreign key relationship and also some combinations are in single table..
I have tried the import and export parameter method for search help but no luck till now.
Can anyone please suggest me how to implement this scenario..
Thanks in advance...
sekhar

Hi sekhar,
Your Requirement can be implemented by OVS(Object Value selector) This is the custom search help .So that you can define on what basis the value has to be fetched.
Look at the below link
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/ABAPWDObjectValueSelector(OVS)
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/606288d6-04c6-2c10-b5ae-a240304c88ea?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
You need to use the component WDR_OVS.
It has 3 phases
In phase 1
     You will fetch the value from input field to F4 help dialog box.
In phase 2
     You will generate the search results , in this phase look for the input value given in field 2 and accordingly generate search result for the field 3.
In phase 3
     The selected value will be returned to the original screen.

Search Help for a Field of a Table Control

I have designed a screen using 'Table Control' with fields like Date, BoxNo,Quantity etc. Kindly tell me how to go about providing a search help for the field 'BoxNo' of this table control so that the user is not required to scroll down the entire table/list for selecting a particular box no.
Thanx in advance,
Alok.

When you go to screen painer, in screen painter attributes window, there is an atribute called search help, fill it.
Another way is, after PAI put:
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD box_no MODULE f1_help_box_no.
And gives logic in that module using FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.
