Using search help

Hi all ,
I created a elementary search help (Z_search_help) for the Ztable1 .
My table is Z_table1 , which has 2 fields mandt, name . The table has some contents .
when i gone thru the prog , i found there is no search help for field "name" after creating the search help also .
if i press f4 there is no input help .
my code :
parameters : name type ztable1-name .
at selection-screen on value-request for name.
after executing if i press f4 there is no input help.

yes my table is active .
i just see that when i go my table ztable1 and EXTRAS-->SEARCH HELP FOR TABLE
then i see there is no search help linke defined for ztable1 .
but if i go to the se11->search help and give the search help name
and execute it ..... then i am able to see the contents entered in the ztable1 .
In selection method i gave ztable1 .
but i dont know why search help is not working in prog.

How to use Search help PRCTR_EMPTY in Web dynrpo ABAP

Hi,
I have a requirement to use search help PRCTR_EMPTY as F4 help for an InputField in my application. But, in the F4 help, if I select "Profit Center Via Standard heirarchy" and search, it is giving me the following error:
"Sending of dynpro SAPLSPO4 0300 not possible: No window system type specified"
Here the search help is trying to call a R/3 screen from web dynpro.
Pelase suggest me if there is any other way to use this search help in web dynpro.
Thanks,
Manogna

hello,
Any search help where R/3 screen is called, will not work in WD ABAP environment. You can create search help using OVS and follow the similar way of data selection as in search help.

How to use search help in layout of se51

how to use search help in layout of se51.

Hi,
One of the important features of screens is that they can provide users with lists of possible entries for a field. There are three techniques that you can use to create and display input help:
Definition in the ABAP Dictionary
In the ABAP Dictionary, you can link search helps to fields. When you create screen fields with reference to ABAP Dictionary fields, the corresponding search helps are then automatically available. If a field has no search help, the ABAP Dictionary still offers the contents of a check table, the fixed values of the underlying domain, or static calendar or clock help.
Definition on a screen
You can use the input checks of the screen flow logic, or link search helps from the ABAP Dictionary to individual screen fields.
Definition in dialog modules
You can call ABAP dialog modules in the POV event of the screen flow logic and program your own input help.
These three techniques are listed in order of ascending priority. If you use more than one technique at the same time, the POV module calls override any definition on the screen, which, in turn, overrides the link from the ABAP Dictionary.
However, the order of preference for these techniques should be the order listed above. You should, wherever possible, use a search help from the ABAP Dictionary, and only use dialog modules when there is really no alternative. In particular, you should consider using a search help exit to enhance a search help before writing your own dialog modules.

Using SEARCH HELP exit in dependency of other parameters from my dynpro.

Hello experts,
how can I access the values of input fields (parameters or select-options) from my dynpro?
I need to build a F4-help in dependencie of another field on the screen with help of the F4 - exit. I think this should be possible.
If I do test the search help with SE11 it works fine. All parameters from screen are given in SHLP_TAB[1]-INTERFACE (the parameter of my f4-help-exit)
The short example explains the problem more detailed.
REPORT test_dynpro_events_ck.
PARAMETERS ea1 TYPE my_char_10_ck DEFAULT 'here I push F4' MATCHCODE OBJECT MY_F4_HELP_CK.
PARAMETERS ea2 TYPE my_char_10_ck DEFAULT 'this is the value I need to generate the F4 help of field ea1'.
MY_F4_HELP_CK:
import: EA1 and EA2
export EA1
Many Thanks
Christian

Thank you so far.
But how are these parameters passed to the search help without using global set/get parameters or DYNPRO_READ_VALUE? Why can I put these parameters to my search help as input parameters ... seems to be useless if I use search help on Selection-Dynpros?
Is there not a better way to deal with search-helps which are dependent from other input fields? Btw. I need the value without passing PAI and PBO.
In my Example:
doing some text inputs in field EA2 -> hit search help on EA1 -> need a selection dialog in dependency of the input in EA2. This can not be that complicated?
Many thanks
Christian

Only Using Search Help Value When Entry Value

Hi Experts,
I'm using search help at my screen field for entry value. But I dont want to entry value with using hand/finger/manuel.
I want to use only search help at my field.
Is this possible?
Best regards.

Thanks All for answers.
I mixed your solution and I find new way for my issue.
I did like this.
I added Input/Output Field at screen and I did input properties false.
And I added button near the I/O Field.

Any Functions can I use Search Help on VALUE-REQUEST in PAI.

Hi~!! Experts.
I want to know some functions or methods of Search Help.
I have made a ZHxxxx Search Help in SE11.
And I applied a screen field by using screen painter.
But I want to fill up the other fields, using selected value.
So I made a Module under th PROCESS On VALUE-REQUEST.
unfortunately, I can't use no more The Search that I made.
I want to using the Search Help(ZHxxxx), and I want to fill up the other fields by using that's values.
I guess some F4 functions can use Search Help. Right?
Anyone know how to deal it. Please answer me,. The program Type is Module Pool program.

Hi Insik,
Proceed as below :-
First of all declare the module below in the flow logic of your screen then create it in your main program.
You declare the module in the PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD TXT_DOCNO MODULE VALUE_BELNR.
You also need to create an internal table where you wil store results of the select query fired below in the module.
Here you will get a F4 help on the filed Document Number(TXT_DOCNO) based on the field Company code (TXT_CODCO)
MODULE VALUE_BELNR INPUT.
progname = sy-repid.
dynnum = sy-dynnr.
CLEAR: field_value, dynpro_values.
field_value-fieldname = 'TXT_CODCO'.
APPEND field_value TO dynpro_values.

SRM 7.0 Ship-to address by using search-help(F4).

Hi,
My problem -
Create or change Ship-to address by using search-help(F4). After selection, new/changed address is not refreshed in detail screen of Ship-to adress. Default Ship-to address is displayed.
I have looked at the SAP NOTE -1148246 which is the exact problem i have but the note is for older release and the changes mentioned in this SAP Note are done in my system.
Thank you.
Regards,
Kailash.

Hi
did you crreate a new ship to address? or change the contact details of ship to address ?
if you changed the ship to address . you must get updated address when you search.
if you created new ship to address , you must get new ship to address when you search it.
how did you change the ship to address ? - internal address?

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.

Conversion of External material with Internal using search help

Hi,
We are working on ECC 6.0 for automotive company and have following scenario.
One OE (External/Customer) material number (MARA-BISMT) with more than one internal material number (MARA-MATNR). This has been done because same customer material is sold by delar for different brands, for exmaple BMW, Ford, Opel. Therefore we have different internal materials with respective brands with same external number in material master.
Business requirement is, all correspondence with customer or vendor should be done using external/customer material number.
Whereas all internal business process should use internal SAP material number.
For example as given below
External No. --> Internal No.
BMW-1 --> 1001 (Brand - BMW)
BMW-1 --> 1002 (Brand - Ford)
BMW-1 --> 1003 (Brand - Opel)
Now the requirement is that user will create document, for example PO or SO, with external/customer material number. While
doing that user should get a pop up screen after entering external material number, if external material is attached/corresponds to multilple internal material number. Then user will selects correct internal number from pop up screen and return to document screen but material field should displayed with external material number.
For example in above case, user will enter BMW-1. Pup up screen will have three internal numbers 1001, 1002 and 1003. User selects 1003 but after material conversion material field of the document will displayed as BMW-1.
We are using Customer enhancement - "MGA00003 Material Master (Industry and Retail): Number Display" for input/ouput conversion.
Also we have created Elementary Search Help - SEARCH_OE_NUMBER with Hot Key "Q". This search help is included into
collective search help "MAT1_A" so that user can able to see multiple internal material number by entring customer material number.
We are able to convert external material number with internal material number and put the external material while creating PO. But when we add another item in PO, search help is getting called again and again for first line item even after conversion of matrial has been taken place.
How we can avoid this multiple calling of serach help?
Is there any better way to achieve this requirement?
Please help us.
Thanks,

We have resolved this issue by redesigning material master data.

How to use search help in abap dynpro

i have created a search help in dictionary and used it in my database table. now i want to use it in web dynpro component. while running my application when im clicking on input help field, it is giving an error -"The Entered Values is not on the list of Selected Values." how do i resolve it?

hi varuna.......
     for example, create a search help for matnr in mara. create an attribute of type mara-matnr or matnr. by default you will get a search help or you can assign your own too. this is the general process.
       you might have assigned a search help of different data type to an attribute of different data type or
       you would have entered a value in the input help and then clicked the search help which is not having those values.

Set a parameter value using Search help exit

Hi All,
I want a search help such as If I enter a warehouse number on my screen then search help for storage bins should have that warehouse number populated in selection dialog.
I guess i have to write some code in search help exit if CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'PRESEL'.
But I am not able to set the warehouse value to parameter.
Does any one have done something like this?
Thanks in Advance,
Shailly

Hi Shailly,
I don#t know if that will be the best option for you, but you can make use of the abap program event at value request for your parameter_id.
What you need is to insert a similar code like the one below:
at selection-screen on value-request for p_param
select fielda fieldb from storage bin table into gi_warehouse_bin
             where warehouse = warehouse parameter.
delete adjacent duplicates from gi_zzdez comparing all fields.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    exporting
     retfield               = space
     dynpprog               = 'REPORT_NAME'
     dynpnr                 = '1000'
     dynprofield            = 'P_BIN'
     window_title           = 'Text'
     value_org              = 'S'
    tables
      value_tab              = gi_warehouse_bin
   exceptions
     parameter_error        = 1
     no_values_found        = 2
     others                 = 3
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
            with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.

Pa30 to view only a selected infotype and still use search help prem

Is it possible to use PA30 to have non-hr users see a custom infotype but none of the other standard infotypes? I would like for the non-hr users to be able to use the Search Help PREM to find records for the custom infotype.
Is this type of inquiry better served by creating a custom program?

These type of requirements are served at the security level but instead going into so much complexity, it is a better idea to write a custom report for the requirement.

Amit
