URL in data element documentation (F1 help)

Hi, is it possible to insert a URL within a data element documentation ? I know it is possible to link the F1 help functionality to go to a URL instead of the data element documentation, but what was asked is to display the regular documentation for the data element, but include a URL to a web site for further information. Any idea how to do this ?

URL link in data element documentation

Is it possible to create a url link within the documentation of a data element to allow the user to launch the web browser and navigate directly to a specified webpage?
Regards
Mark Briggs

Hello,
I am not sure but you can try this out. Go to se38 and documentation for a test program. Click on Goto and then Change editor. write a text that you want to give a link to. Make its paragraph format as SAPfind Reference. Select the text goto insert link. It will pop you up with a box. give the name of your program but how to link it is another mystery.
Try these function modules.
IWB_HTML_HELP_OBJECT_SHOW
IWB_HTML_HELP_EXTENDED_HELP
and see this program BCALV_GRID_F4_HELP may be of some help.

SAPScript: includung a domain documentation in a data element documentation

Dear ABAPers,
I have a couple of (self-defined) DDIC data elements referring all to the same domain. How does the SAPScript INCLUDE-command need to look like in order to include the domains text in the data element text? (which object and which ID needs to be provided for domain documentation?).
Thanks in advance
Andreas

Hi Pushpraj,
for any kind of DDIC-object (table, structure, data element, domain...) you can maintain documentation, which is saved as SAPScript (there is a button "Documentation" or in the case of the domains you have to go via the menu "Goto -> documentation"). In that sort of SAPScript-based texts you can basiscally include any other SAPScript-Text with the INCLUDE-Command.
Example: with SAPScript Command "INCLUDE BELEGART" you can reuse SAPs standard help-text for field BKPF-BLART. But usually the SAPScript INCLUDE command looks like this:
INCLUDE <name_of_text> OBJECT <object> ID <ID>.
Thanks
Andreas

Change data element in search help

Hi at all,
how can i change the data elemte of an parameter in the search help?
The selektion method of the search help is a view and the data element comes from the DB.
Maybe it is possible to change the length of the parameter in the result list? That would help, too!
Thanks in advance.

Use of documentation flow in data element!!!!

hi experts,
what is the use of documentation flow in data element.
if that field is selected then where will be changes reflected ?
thanks in advance,

Hi,
Changing Data Element documentation (F1 help text)
SAP allows you to modify data element documentation (F1 help text), this could be useful if you want to add/remove information from the F1 help text. E.g. If you are using the field to store info it was not intended for.
Step 1
Using transaction CMOD chose the following menu option
Menu Goto->TExt Enhancements_>data elements->list cust docu.
Enter the data element that you wish to change the documentation text for, then click the change icon(Pencil in 4.6c and tick in 4.6b). You will then be presented with the following screen, which allows you to create new versions of the data element documentation. Simply click on the Change button and enter a name within the customer name range.

Mechanism for Info Object Data elements inherit source documentation?

Say I am in ECC. I go to SE11, give table name MARA and then doubleclick on the dataelement 'MATNR'. Then I click on documentation. I get a popup with Short text " Material Number" and Definition "Alphanumeric key uniquely identifying the material'.
I am interested in the latter information that is 'Definition' - & in general whatever documentation comes up for data element in ECC/CRM/SCM/SRM.
Now I log into SAP BI. I find that under characteristic 0Material, the data element is /BI0/oimaterial. When I double-click this datamaterial and press the documentation button, the system says 'No documentation'.
My Questions:
1. IS there a switch we could turn on in source [ECC/SRM/CRm/SRM] so that the data element in SAP BI inherits the original source field data element documentation.
{ I am not too convinced of the argument- that in BI we have info objects in ECC we have fields - since I am talking of data element level information- I would tend to think of this as an oversight of the designers [or de-prioritization] !!}.
2. Could we have an ABAP workaround? That is, in BI we identify the tables that house the mapping between the source and destination data elementsa and take out this information. Then we extract the dataelement documentation [by function DOCU_GET] and use the mapping info above to link SAP BI data element with source data element documentation.
WHY do I want to punish myself as above? My use case is, we take out SAP BI Table, field, metadata etc and create a model in a modeling tool and physical implementation in a 3rd party DW database as our own canonical, application-agnostic corporate datawarehouse. I would want the source data element documentation to flow to this last system as well as the modeling tool.

Search Help attached to Data Element Question

Hello! Hopefully this is a simple question to answer. I have looked online but cannot find exactly what I need.
We currently have a search help attached to a data element. The search help is a custom search help. It does work so when you are in the screen it will show you options to pick from for that field. However, the field also allows for free-form text so the user can type in whatever and the screen will take it.
Is there a way through the data element or search help to make it so the user is restricted to only what is in the search help and cannot just enter whatever?
Thanks!!

For restricting values You can use the at selection screen event on that field.
The search help field values will be there in a table .
So what ever values are there in the table for that particular field , only those values will come in F4 also ..
If it not maintained then issue an appropriate error message.
at-selection screen on p_field.
selct single field from table into v_value.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
message ""Error message.
Endif.

1) SAP don't supply this, I would imagine, because R/3 isn't the only possible source of data. I'm currently working on an app that extracts from R/3, an Oracle database and APO. From whence should I take the documentation for my MATERIAL info object? While being able to transfer the documentation of data elements might be very useful for your app, I can't see that generally it would be of interest to clients - I've certainly never heard of such a requirement. So, my opinion at least, it isn't a design flaw.
2) As you've pointed out, you can get the tables that do the mapping, so you know the source data elements, so you can get the documentation. I'm not sure of how to store the documentation, but the obvious candidate for a link between infoobject and dataelement would be master data of an own infoobject. You could wrap DOCU_GET in an RFC (if it isn't RFC enabled), and do a direct call between your 3rd party app and r/3 to get the documentation. For information about the mapping tables, I'd suggest asking that question specifically in one of the BI forums.

How to convert amount data element to number data element

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement to get the data by calling BRF+ and then pass them to BAPI 'BAPI_ASSET_ACQUISITION_POST', in the BRF+ export structure, there is a field 'AMOUNT', I bind it to DDIC element 'BF_ANBTR', the type is Number.
In BRF+, I call another global function to calculate the value, I define a local variant LV_VALUE to get export value from this function, this local variant's type is Amount, now I need to move this local variant value to the export field 'AMOUNT'.
But BRF+ doesn't allow to convert amount data element to number data element directly, and I find there is no formula function available. Only there is a function 'TO_AMOUNT' to convert number data element to amount data element.
Please help to get a solution for above solution.
Thanks.

Hi,
within the formula expression within the category "Mathematical functions" you will find the function "TONUMBER". This converts a data element of type currency to a number. According to the help of this function:
"The following conversion rules apply:
<Amount>: The number part is returned. The currency unit is omitted."
This is what you are looking for.
For the other way round you already mentioned the correct function "TO_AMOUNT"

How to create hyperlinked text in F1 help of a particular Data Element.

Dear Guru
I have encountered an issuse regarding to create hyperlinked text in F1 help of a particular Data Element.
For Example what i am trying to do is ---
If you open a particular data element say "ATNAM" in se11 you will found the below documentation available for ATNAM -->>
DE ATNAM
Text
Characteristic Name
Definition
Name that uniquely identifies a *characteristic*.
>> The "characteristics" comes in hyperlinked bluecolor and if we press this it linked to below --- >>
Definition: characteristic
Classification (CA-CL)
Property for describing and distinguishing between objects, such as length, color, or weight.
Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)
I am able to make 1st part of the documentation using SE61.
But I am not able to make Hyperlinked part of that documentaion .
please show me some way to develop this
Thanks & regards

HI,
you can give the hyperlink in the documentation by going to the path below

Need help in URL Service Data Control

Hi Everyone,
I'm working on JDev11gUp2, ADF-RC
I am using URL Service Data Control to fetch data from CSV File and i got success but I need to know that is there any way to pass File Connection URL Dynamically at run time, As i know we have to provide URL string at design time, but i have multiple files to pass at run time , Then?
And one more question that Once the data is uploaded into af:Table from my CSV file. then after Any data change in CSV file must reflect in af:table with that change like other iterator refresh functionality. but I'm not able to do that, Simple question is, How to Re fetch the data from CSV file at run time?
Your answer would be really appreciated as it would really help me.
Thanks
Fizzz...

Hi Fizz,
Not sure of the answer to your specific question. A couple of thoughts, though:
You could try putting some code in a backing bean action listener to get the data control from an iterator binding (where you have added an iterator binding to your page definition) and then using the debugger to inspect the runtime type of the data control returned - then look to see if that type has a setURL method.
[url http://database.in2p3.fr/doc/oracle/Oracle_Application_Server_10_Release_3/web.1013/b25947/adv_data_controls005.htm]this link talks about creating your own data control type - where you could certainly expose a method to set a URL. More work, but you have complete control.
Hope this at least gives you an idea or two.

F4 help in data element.

I have a fileld in table that has the structure of eban.
There is a field pstyp and it has input help in it's data element.
I want to suppress the f4 help and attach customized f4 help without implementing Badi.
Please help how to suppree the data elements f4 help.

make your own structure, use own data element. Assign own search help to data element. Or assign own search help in your own structure. Then you dont even need an own data element, just copy structure EBAN and change search help assign in structure..
Thats when you need it generally.
If you just need to overwrite the search help for e.G. a certain Dynpro, then just assign your own search help to the dynpro field.
