When/How to use - "search" parameter type in parameter like other types.

We recently upgraded BI Publisher to 10.1.3.4. I saw new parameter type "search" in parameter section, when creating report. whats the use of it? How to use it ? like other parameter type Text, Menu,Hidden, Date.
I couldn't find any help or release notes on this !
Thanks
Ayaps

I started looking into this parameter type when our drop-down for customer numbers went from 13,000 (manageable) to 45,000 (completely unmanageable).
I imagine this is supposed to mimic the effects of a "Long List" type LOV in Oracle Applications (as I had inquired about in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=895521&stqc=true|Large List of Values (LoV) hangs. Is there an equivalent for a long list?]), but performance-wise, "Search" does not seem to be any more efficient that using the "Menu" type LOV. Even with the help of having a partial string with a wildcard to match, the "Search" still takes too long to pull up to be of any use to us.

    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.

  • How to use search term2 in customer master record

    how to use search term2 in customer master record. can anyone tell me plz
    thanks
    monica

    Hi,
    Search Term 2
    Label used for search helps.
    Only uppercase letters are stored in this field. Your entries are converted automatically to uppercase letters.
    There are two of these fields for search terms. These fields can be used independently of each other.
    Procedure
    You can use your own criteria for entering the search term.
    Example
    You can enter the main part of the name or an organizational ID.
    For example, for the company "Hechinger & Sons", you could enter "Hechinger" as the first search term.
    The second search term could then be the name ID you use within your company, to help you identify your data later.

  • How to use offset for select-option parameter ?

    Hi experts
    could anybody please let me know how to use offset for select-option parameter. i can able to use offset for table fields, variabiles and all , but don't know how to use for parameters.
    following is my code
    SELECT-OPTIONS: s_prctr  FOR vbsegs-prctr OBLIGATORY.
    here "prctr"  length is 10.
    i'm using two tables  1. vbsegd-bupla
                                    2. vbsegs-prctr
    here prctr+6(4) = bupla.
    "Bupla" length is 4
    SELECT belnr gjahr bukrs bupla sgtxt buzei FROM vbsegd INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_vbsegd FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_vbkpf
                                                                 WHERE belnr = it_vbkpf-belnr
                                                                   AND gjahr = it_vbkpf-gjahr
                                                                   AND bukrs = it_vbkpf-bukrs
                                                                   AND bupla IN s_prctr.  
    the above statement is not working as prctr and bupla lenths are different. here i want to use offset.
    SELECT belnr gjahr bukrs prctr sgtxt buzei FROM vbsegs INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_vbsegs FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_vbkpf
                                                                WHERE belnr = it_vbkpf-belnr

                                                                  AND bukrs = it_vbkpf-bukrs
                                                                  AND prctr IN s_prctr.
    this is working as prctr and s_prctr lengths are equal.
    could anybody please help me out in this.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards

    Below code will work for you.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: s_prctr  FOR vbsegs-prctr OBLIGATORY.

  • When I have opened newstand it will not close like other apps. I have to shutdown the iPad completely why

    When I have opened newstand it will not close like other apps. I have to shutdown the iPad completely why?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Noob Question: Type That Looks Like Web Type

    Hi,
    Can someone give me suggestions on creating type that 'looks' like the type generated by a browser. IOW: I've tried the various settings (crisp/sharp/smooth) and the type that I create in a GIF or PNG never looks as close to the same font in IE or Firefox text. This is not font-specific... any font.
    Referring to:
    http://www.myspace.com/jcharrismusic
    Where it says,
    'Contact JChmusic is the graphic.
    Where it says
    'JC Harris: General Info'
    ...is HTML.
    How do I get the word 'Contact' to look as crisp as the HTML generated text?
    TIA,
    ---JC

    I tried that and it's close, but then it's -too- jagged. Sorry to sound like Goldilox, but it's as though the 'sharp' is a bit too soft and the 'none' is a bit too hard. One problem (I -think-?) is that the font in the web page is specified in px but Photoshop type is (rightly) in pts.
    Any more ideas? Closer, but not -quite- there yet.
    THANKS!

  • How to use Search

    You might try the Movie Explorer panel (Windows > Movie
    Explorer), but
    personally, I haven't had lots of luck with it attempting to
    do what you're
    describing. Set it to display only actionScript (buttons at
    top of panel)
    and type your query into the find section.
