Skip standard select method in search help exit

Hi experts,
how to skip standard select method in search help exit? Currently I'm selecting my custom data with select statement in 'DISP' section, but still text: 'more than 500 results were found' is shown. I just want to skip/disable standard selection. Thank you.

Getting values from screen to search help exit

Hi Experts,
I have created a search help in which I am not using selection method but search help exit. Dialog type is 'Dialog with value restriction'. My requirement is to get the values entered in restriction screen into search help exit. Please suggest a parameter which will hold this value in search help exit function module.

Hi M,
As you know there are 5 steps in search help exit. For each step, the values in parameter of your search help exit is different.
For your requirement, you need process in step 'DISP', and get the selection value from 'SHLP-SELOPT'.
Example:
*Build range for customer number
LOOP AT shlp-selopt INTO ls_selopt WHERE shlpfield = 'KUNNR'.
lr_kunnr-sign = ls_selopt-sign.
lr_kunnr-option = ls_selopt-option.
lr_kunnr-low = ls_selopt-low.
lr_kunnr-high = ls_selopt-high.
APPEND lr_kunnr.
CLEAR: lr_kunnr.
ENDLOOP.
Then using the lr_kunnr range in your select statement.

Archer

SELECT-OPTIONS Values via DYNP_VALUES_READ in a Search Help Exit

Hi all,
I appended a standard search help of a standard report with a search help of my own. Now I am trying to retrieve the values the user has entered into the selection screen of the report using the FM DYNP_VALUES_READ in my search help exit FM. It works fine for single values defined by PARAMETERS and for low and high values of SELECT-OPTIONS (so_example-LOW and so_example-HIGH), but I need the entire SELECT-OPTIONS table. I cannot make any changes in the report, so do you have any solutions I could implement in my search help exit FM?
Many thanks!
Vladan
P.S.
I found several questions on this topic but they either just different enough not to be applicable in my case or the formatting has made the replies useless.

Most of the time we just copy the standard FM F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE to a new one and give our own name.
You can see that on the 12th line there is the following code
* EXIT immediately, if you do not want to handle this step
IF CALLCONTROL-STEP <> 'SELONE' AND
     CALLCONTROL-STEP <> 'SELECT' AND
     " AND SO ON
     CALLCONTROL-STEP <> 'DISP'.
     EXIT.
ENDIF.
you should comment those line in order for the control to reach the PRESEL step (which is already defined in the SH Exit FM) which is on line 44.
Most of the time, when someone says they don't hit PRESEL, this is the problem.

Problem in Search Help Exit

Hi Experts,
I have aproblem in Search help Exit. I have added tab to the standard search help by creating elemntry search help and assigned that search help to standard search help. I am calling function module for search help exit. I dont have any selection method.
I am getting the epected results by using the funtion module F4UT_RESULTS_MAP. This funtion module displays all the results list. My only problem i have is when i select the value from the results list the value is not populating in to the field.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4UT_RESULTS_MAP'
    TABLES
      shlp_tab          = shlp_tab
      record_tab        = record_tab
      source_tab        = lt_export
    CHANGING
      shlp              = shlp
      callcontrol       = callcontrol
    EXCEPTIONS
      illegal_structure = 1
      OTHERS            = 2.
The callcontrol-step = 'RETURN'.
how can i handle this step to populate the select record in the field.
Thanks,

Use of search help exit

use of search help exit with an example

Hi,
A search help describes the standard input help process. In exceptions it could be necessary to deviate in some points from this standard. Such a deviation from the standard can also be implemented with a search help exit.
The input help process should look as much the same as possible throughout the entire system. Search help exits should therefore only be used for exceptions.
A search help exit is a function module that has a predefined interface. A search help exit is called at certain times by the help processor. The administrative data of the help processor are passed to the search help exit using the interface.
You can store your own program logic that manipulates this administrative data in the search help exit. Individual steps of the input help process can be skipped with a search help exit.
for example
Search help exit F4UT_OPTIMIZE_COLWIDTH adjusts the column width in the hit list to the contents of the column. It makes sense to use this search help exit when the columns of the hit list have to be made very wide for extreme cases (e.g. for name fields), but normally they will contain much smaller values.
Each search help exit must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE (is used as pattern for all the search help exits to be created). You can find more information about the interface in the documentation for this function module.
Calling the Search Help Exit
If a search help exit is assigned to a search help, the help processor calls it at the following times:
Before Displaying the Dialog Box for Selecting the Required Search Path.
It is only called for collective search helps. Using the search help exit, the set of elementary search helps available can for example be restricted depending on the context.
Before Starting the F4 Process for the Elementary Search Help
The call is triggered independent of whether the dialog window for entering the search conditions appears or whether the selection is executed immediately (for example, because in the Hot key of the elementary search help Immediate value display is set).
Before Displaying the Dialog Box for Entering Search Conditions.
You can either influence the dialog for entering search conditions or skip it altogether here. You can also influence how the selection screen looks. The call is triggered only if there is no direct selection (that is, if in the Hot key of the elementary search help Immediate value display is not set).
Before Selecting Data.
The data selection can be partly or completely copied from the search help exit. This can become necessary if the data selection cannot be implemented with a SELECT statement for a table or a view.
Before Displaying the Hit List.
You can influence the display of the hit list in this step with the search help exit. You can reduce the number of values displayed here. For example, you can display only values for which the person calling the input help has authorization. You can also copy the complete hit list from the search help exit.
Before Returning the Values Selected by the User to the Input Template.
It could be advisable to intervene at this time if control of the further transaction flow should depend on the value selected. A typical example is setting set/get parameters.

How to create Search help exit, and then assign it to a collective search

hi gurus,
i have an intersting question for you, well my scenario is like i have to create a search help exit using some function module cause i didt found table for my search help but i can find the value through FM, i know we can create a search help exit and then assign it to collective search help,
my problem is what are the parameters i need to pass to this search help exit FM, and in the function module i want to use the value entered on the f4 selection screen to extract data through FM. i need to give a solution asap.
any reply will be highly appreciated
n rewards points for sure.

Adding a new field to the search help exit

Hi friends,
adding a new field to the search help exit. How does it work ?
Thanks in advace
Ilhan

The search help exit allows you to modify functionality of search help. If you add a new field to the
parameter list that is not contained on the selection method you can manually populate it within the search
help exit.
This would be performed within the u2018STEP DISPu2019 section. Once within this section all search help
data has been retrieved and is stored in table RECORD_TAB (record_tab-string) as one long string value.
Therefore you need to read table SHLP in-order to locate position of value within string.
Example:
To find position of personnel number (PERNR) within elemenory search
help M_PREMN you would use the following code:
Loop at record_tab.
     read table shlp-fielddescr into wa_shlp
                                   with key tabname   = 'M_PREMN'
                                            fieldname = 'PERNR'.
You could then use this information in the following way, for
example, to find a persons organisation unit:
      select orgeh endda
        up to 1 rows
        from pa0001
        into (ld_orgeh,ld_endda)
       where pernr eq record_tab-string+wa_shlp-offset(8)
                                                  u201Cpernr length is 8
       order by endda descending.
      endselect.
      select single orgtx
        from t527x
        into ld_orgtxt
       where orgeh eq ld_orgeh and
             sprsl eq sy-langu and
           ( endda ge sy-datum and
             begda le sy-datum ).
If you have added a new field to the end of the parameters list
the next step is to populate it by adding this data to the end of
the record_tab string:
concatenate record_tab-string ld_orgtxt into record_tab-string.
modify record_tab.
endloop.

How can I to obtain the value selected in a search help?

Hi Gurus,
I have a search help and it has a "search help exit" (a FM).
At FM search help exit I am calling the standard FM RHF4_RFC_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST to another system ( assigning the corresponding "destination" ).
The FM RHF4_RFC_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST display a screen where the search is done. When a field is selected returns the values in the internal table RETURN_TAB.
At FM search help exit I assign the selected value ( in RETURN_TAB ) to internal table's field RECORD_TAB-STRING.
The search help is assigned to a table field and when I want to obtain a value through search help in SM30 transaction, the screen created by FM RHF4_RFC_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST appears, but when I select a value, this is not "copy" to the table field.
In what am I wrong? What am I omitting?
Thanks

Hi,
Probably you are not mapping the right fields from source to destination structures.
plz check RETURN_TAB-STRING(this is an example) assigned to RECORD_TAB-STRING.
put a break point at this line and check.
Thanks,
Sree.

Regarding Search Help Exit

I am having a problem in Search help exit.
Currently we have a search help Z_srchlp. In the Selection method of this search help we have a Help view z_view.
In this view we have a join on Tables KNA1 and KNVV. But now the requirement is to fetch some fields(STR_SUPPL1 and STR_SUPPL2) from ADRC table also. I have to write a Search help Exit for that.
The search help is on SHIP-TO PARTY in VA01. In the Output I need to Display the fields (STR_SUPPL1 and STR_SUPPL2) from ADRC based on adressnumber i.e., ADDRNUMBER in addition to what we are displaying currently.
Please let me know How can I achieve it. It will be great help if u can send me the Code as it is very urgent.

Hi,
take a look to the search help F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_CUSTOMER with SE37.

T-code PA30(SAP HR) search help exit problem.

Hi Experts ,
I have a requirement to restrict/show particluar Wage Types in PA30 t-code on basis a company code of a given the employee (PERNR).
The field PERNR/Company code are not there in the parameters or selection method of the elementary search help H_T5W3A(PA0151-LGART field) .
I have managed to add the field pernr to the parameters of this elementary serach help H_T5W3A and also given it as a importing parameter in the custom search help exit FM.
When i debug the PERNR/Company code don't get populated in the FM parameters.
I need this PERNR/Comp code to be poulated in order for the search help entries to be restricted as this is the requirement.
Please tell me what step i am missing here.
Any other workarounds for this requirement.

Hi,
Adding an importing parameter just provides the user to restrict the search by entering the field value. For this you need not write a search help exit. You only need to join the tables with the fields properly in the search help. However if the Wage types need to be populated as per the company code and if you have included the company code as an importing parametr, then everytime the user clicks on the F4 help for Wage type, he "has" to enter the company code in the pop up that appears for selection criteria, otherwise how would the search help know the value that you have entered for company code.
Without entering the company code in the pop up that would appear to restrict the search, the search help won't work as there won't be any other way to make it aware of the value entered.

Search help exits

I have a custom search help exit defined in se11, attached it to the screen. It works good when run in test mode from se11. But I have trouble getting it working from the screen. When I debugged, noticed the search help interface is not populated correctly. It just has the information of only the first parameter, while I have 3 import parameters in the search help defintion.We are on SAP 4.7 . Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Is the information populated in the the fields of the database table used in your selection method. What I mean is, does the data exist in the database table that you are using in your selection method. If there is no data in those fields, then of course, it will not show in your search help.

SY-TABIX within a search help exit...

Hallo all,
I tried to find an answer in earlier postst, but did not succeed, therefore this message.
I have built a customtabel with several columns. For one of the columns I have built a custom search help, including some coding in the search help exit. In this coding I want to do a different selection based on the value in another column (BUKRS) of the same table. Do you understand what I mean?
The trick is to retrieve the right value of in the column BUKRS in the same line of the table, at the moment I am pushing F4 for another column.
And I dont know how to do this. I dont have the right SY-TABIX value, so this is not helping.
Does anybody have an idea as how to tackle this?
Kind regards,
Erik

Hello Francois & Holger,
Thanks for the reply, but Iu2019m calling this searh help from the transaction SE16 itself, so I donu2019t have my own table control. I am also using the search help in another situation (from a custom-made screen) and here I can pass on the value via a parameter, but this is not working in the case I described.
So the SY-STEPL is not working too....
Kind regards,
Erik

**Then I need to gather all the results in my internal table it_itab and display

I am not getting all the data in my internal table and wanted to know if there is anyting wrong in my select statement.
Any guidance will be appreciated and awarded appropriate points.
Thanks.
