F4 Search Help on a screen painter

I am new to ABAP programming but i am getting there, thanks to all of you guys, i need help on this issue:

Hi,
There are couple of ways in which you can get a search help.
1) To have a DD reference to the field
for this create a search help in SE11 assign the same to the data element and have a reference.
2) To write a Process on Value Request. in the Flow logic in SE51.
In this even create a module and call the FM
F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST to get the search help.
Hope this helps

About Screen painter

my senior are compelled me to develop an add-on witout screen painter.
is it wright ? pls send me rply as early as possible.
if wrong then send me about some help on screen painter and how to detect screen painter control from vb.net

Mithun,
I am not sure exactly how to answer your question. The Screen Painter is typically used to assist the developer with creating new SAP Business One forms in an easy graphical environment. It is a tool provided to the developer to assist with rapidly creating new forms. You do not have to use the Screen Painter. You can code your forms from scratch as part of your add-on code using the IDE of your choice such as VB.Net. You can also look at this article which talks about how to auto generate and XML representation of your forms ...
SAP Business One Tools [original link is broken]
As far as help on the Screen Painter, that is available when you install the screen painter.

F4_FILENAME in search help in screen painter

Hello gurus,
I want to design a screen in which the text input field is used to get file name. For that i need to enable file search in local folders and drives with f4 key press. I wish to use the functionality of function module 'F4_FILENAME" in screen painter. How can i do that?
I tried creating search help for RLGRAP structure. It compiles fine but gives the message 'No inout for selection'.
What should i do?

Thank you all,
The problem has been solved.
I am posting the final code.
1. In se38, i created program zprogram.
2. In se51, i created a screen for the program zprogram.
3. In layout, i took 2 buttons and one input/output field.
1st button for import and 2nd button for exit.
4.In flow logic-
i wrote the follwing code.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_100.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD FILENAME1 MODULE F4_FILE_SEARCH.
5. IN THE MAIN PROGRAM
i wrote the following code-
REPORT ZPROGRAM.
DATA: FILENAME1 TYPE RLGRAP-FILENAME,
           OK_CODE TYPE SY-UCOMM.
CALL SCREEN 100.
MODULE F4_FILE_SEARCH INPUT.
OK_CODE = SY-UCOMM.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
EXPORTING
    FIELD_NAME         = 'FILENAME1'
IMPORTING
    FILE_NAME           = FILENAME1
ENDMODULE.
MODULE STATUS_100 OUTPUT.
CASE OK_CODE.
WHEN 'IMPORT'.
MESSAGE 'THE FILE IS RECIEVED' TYPE 'I'.
WHEN 'CANCEL'.
LEAVE PROGRAM.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.
I REFERRED TO THE DEMO PROGRAM MENTIONED
IN OTHER POST
NAME OF THE DEMO PROGRAM IS - DEMO_DYNPRO_F4_HELP_MODULE

Search Help of compounded char in Screen Painter

Hi,
I have attached the standard search help /BI0/OGL_ACCOUNT to the G/L account input/output field in screen painter. While executing when I press F4 it gives the pop up message showing chart of accounts (Compounded) and G/L account characteristic values. But when I select single line it shows chart of accounts in the input/output field instead of G/L account. Could you please tell me why is it so and how can it be corrected if I want G/L account values in the input/output field.
Thanks,
Viren

how to change the search help of the WBS field VBAP-PS_PSP_PNR in the over screen tab.
Unfortunatly there is no search help for PS_PSP_PNR in VBAP.
I guess you need to create one elementry Z search help and finally tab it to PS_PSP_PNR in VBAP by just enhacing the VBAP.
PS:But you need access key for same.

'Screen Group' in Screen Painter, & 'Search help Exit'

Hii All,
1. What is 'Screen Group' in Screen Painter
attributes. In which Scenario we will go for it.
2. What is 'Search help Exit'.
Please post your messages and guide me in this topic,
Thanks & Regards,
John.

Hi John,
A Search help exit is something similar to a user exit. Every search help will have an option of attaching a search help exit under the definition tab( when you view the search help from se12).
For example take a look at the search help VMVA - you will notice a search help exit SD_F4_SHLP_EXIT_SUBSHLP_CHOOSE attached to it.
Basically the serah help exit which is nothing but a function module with a predefined interface which gets triggered before a f4 help is displayed. The exit is used to supress or do any other related modification required.
We have implemented many search help exits and the reason is that we have given a custom interface to our business partners to carry out some transaction on our SAP systems. Though we have given them access to our SAP system we also want to ensure that the business partner does not view any additional data in the system. We have controlled this via many ways like using z objects, using authorizations etc. Still once the user has authorizations to any transaction he or she can do a f4 help on any field and see the data which he should not be able to do. So we have implemented search help exits to supress the drop down only for the business partners. We control this based on the unique login id's we have given to them.
So in short it is used to modify the behaviour of F4 help, mostly used to supress the drop down.
It has to be defined in a specific format.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

[Help]Screen Painter

Hi experts,
Lately I'm using PL07 and now I uninstalled my SAP Client and installed PL04 after that, I'm having a problem with Screen Painter. Please check the image below. Help me about this.
http://www.webforone.com/images/5dwd2lodq9rsjs3aiaf.jpg
Thanks,

hi hikaru,
Symptom
Add-on fails to upgrade on the client when there is a new add-on version available on the server in the common DB.
SAP Business One displays an error message:
"Add-on <Name of add-on>: Add-on installation failed because another version is already installed. Please ensure that the version number is higher than the version previously installed."
Add-on status is then set to pending.
Cause
Consulting.
This issue occurs when both of the following conditions are met:
There is a version of the add-on available on the server in the SARI table of the common DB that is newer than the one on the client.
The server name or IP address registered in the AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo file on the client for this add-on is different than the name or IP address registered with the license server for the SAP Business One database server.
For example, this issue can occur after upgrading to SAP Business One 8.8 and "(local)" is listed as the server name in the AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo file. But according to new security policies, "(local)" is no longer a valid server name and the server name registered with the license server will have changed when upgrading to release 8.8.
The following would occur in such a case:
The SAP Business One 2007 client connects to the (local) server.
The client registers an add-on from the server.
The server is upgraded to release 8.8, and is registered with the license server with an IP address or server name. The client upgrades to release 8.8, and continues to work with the same server. The local AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo file is unchanged by the upgrade.
The add-on is upgraded on the server.
At the next logon, the client checks the version of the add-on on the server and finds that it has been upgraded. The client attempts to upgrade the add-on using the information in the AddOnsLocalRegistration file. But the upgrade fails because the server name in the file is incorrect.
Solution
(1) Open "AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo" file
(2) Locate the "Common" node under the "AddOn" node and update the "Name" Attribute to the DB Server machine name which is currently used.
(3) Repeat step(2) to update the "Name" Attribute for all AddOns.
(4) Lanuch the SAP Business One and AddOn should upgrade as usual.
Other terms
SAP Business One client, AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo, add-on upgrade, 8.8 add-on upgrade fails

Help!! graphical screen painter can't use.

hi,everyone.
we conncet to sap with sapgui by saprouter.
the graphical screen painter not available .
how to deal with this problem?

Check the RFC - EU_SCRP_WN32 destination in SM59.
Perform a "Test Connection": if the connection doesn't work maybe there is an issue in the connection between the presentation server and the application server.
Check if there is a firewall that blocks the port used by the RFC.
I have the same problem if I use a VPN connection to logon. The graphical screen-painter does not work...
Hope this helps,
Roby.
PS: check out if in <sapgui_directory>\FrontEnd\SapGui there are these executables:
gnetx.exe and gneux.exe
These are the necessary files to start the Screen-Painter.

Screen Painter - search help for field

Hello All,
I have some fields in a screen created with Screen Painter.
The filelds's types are standard system types like BU_PARTNER or other.
How do I have to define them so that in the screen to appear the match code?
Thank you very much,
Diana.

Hi Diana Cotelea,
You can use standard search help 'BUPA'.
Do as follows,
1. Goto 'Dict' tab of the property of BU_PARTNER field in your screen, in 'Search Help' property enter the search help name 'BUPA'.
2. Goto 'Program' tab, for 'Poss. Entries Key' property select 2 or 3 from its DropDowm List values.
Try this.

Screen painter search help

Hi All,
I have created a custom search help and assigned it to a filed in the screen painter. This field provides me the F4 help, but when i manually enter some other data which is not present in search help it will accept it.
How to configure so that when we enter any data which is not present in search help it should throw an error.
Thanks,
Mars

Hi,
You created a Elementry search help and attached to a field in screen. Is it right then -
In PAI use chain ... endchain. Inside call a module in which, Select query from a table for a given input .
If it not get selected , use a error message 'E' which won't allow to proceed untill a value entered is correct.
If the field in not a manditory , check only if the field is not initial.

Screen Painter - Help!

I have a screen in screen painter with two fields. if i set 1 field to X , then other should automatically be set to R on that same screen. Is it possible?
I think it can be possible by using value-request.
Please if u have any suggestion or example let me know.

hi Rahul,
You can achieve this in two ways:
1 - when user selects 'X' from a search help for field1, the field 2 will be
     automatically populated with 'R'.
     For this, you have to code the logic in process on value request for field field1.
     write a module inside this event; inside the module call function module
     DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE to set the value 'R' in field2.
2 - in the PBO, write the following code.
     if field1 = 'X'.
          field2 = 'R'.
     endif.
     But this will happen only after user enters X in field1 and then press ENTER
     or click any other key/button.
Hope this helps,
Sajan Joseph.

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.
Regards,
Prakash.

In a SAP-training, an employee of SAP said:
In former times, a modulpool was the only effective way to import data from a user. But now every program should be a report (type 1). A modulpool is only interesting when you desing a very huge application.
