Hi All,

Thank you for all the info.

My table is a custom table(ZPROD) and also the Field(Type) and Domain(ZDTYPE). Where can I enter the values video game, pc game, stuffed toy for the field ZPROD-Type.

When we go to SE16 and the same field, I want the 3 values to be displayed on the pop up window if we click on the little button next to it.

Please some one give me the steps to get this help button.

Thanks,

Veni.

Hi,

You dont need a search help for this.

In the domain for the field: ZPROD-Type, click on Value range tab.

Enter Fic.Val and short description:

01, video game,

02, pc game,

03, stuffed toy

On the screen, the description will be shown and in the database the values will be stored.

Subramanian

Hi All,

I saved it and Activated. Now when I execute it I am getting a pop up window with Parameter - TYPE, Field Attr. - Ready for inp, Screen fld- a small text box with nothing in it.

When I click the Test/Enter green right mark, I am getting 25000000010061001-07-0001C and 25000000010061001-07-0002C as values in another pop up window. What are these values? How can I enter the values for type field, as Video Game, PC Game, Stuffed Toy.

I went to SE16 and when I go to the field TYPE, I donot see the little button next to it or any values.

Please help me.

Thamks,

Hi Subramanian,

How can I un do the search help that I saved and activated. I think it will move with the transport. Is there any way I can un do it and create the help the way you told.

Thanks,

Veni.

Hi All,

I entered the values for the domain in the value range. Activated it. But it did not show up in SE16, for the TYPE field.

May be because I created the search help, but I did not attach it to the field. So went to SE11 and deleted the search help.

But still the values entered in the value range are not showing up.

I have two different transport requests one for search help and one for value range.

I have to show it to the user in the afternoon.

Can some one please help me with this.

Thanks,

Veni.

Hi Kamesh,

As search help was not working properly, I entered the values for the value range. When I go to SE16 and to the field TYPE I donot see the little help button next to it, but if I pree F4 I am able to see the values V-Video game, P-Pc game and S-Soft Toy for type and short text. If I click on Soft toy the value is comming as S, but I want the description Soft Toy to come. And also why the help button is not displaying.

Please help.

Thanks,

Veni.
