missing search help

Former Member — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 06:52:30 GMT

Hello experts,

I just want to ask this question which puzzles me a lot.

when i execute this piece of code,

PARAMETERS: sign1 like kna1-kunnr.

I can see a seach help when I press F4.

But when I make a change the above code into:

PARAMETERS: sign2 like ZFLI_SIG-sigid.

I cant see anymore the search help dialog box when I press F4.

Note: zfli_sig is a ztable. sigid is a primary key on that table.

Is there any way to see the search help window when I press F4 though

I created a ztable?

You have to assign the value table as Ztable to Domain or create a search help for the field.

For KUNNR value table is Value Table KNA1.

Hi,

You need to create a search help for the field which you have created in order to get a search help on pressing F4. In case of the kunnr field, it has a pre-defined search help associated with it, so when we call that field the associate search help is also called.

So please create a search help and associate it with the Data element, later when you use this Data element in a ny program, the search help also gets called automatically.

Hope this resolves your query.

hi,

since it is a custom field you have to create a search help

and assign it at data element level using SE11 transaction.

for more info on that check this.

Thanks expert for your help... I almost got the answer to my problem. However, I have one more problem on the return value when I select from the search hetlp.

Here's the code that I did.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_custid ,

sid LIKE zfli_sig-sigid,

lname LIKE zfli_sig-lname,

END OF ty_custid.

DATA: it_custid TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_custid,

wa_custid TYPE ty_custid.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK sign WITH FRAME TITLE text-004 .

PARAMETERS: sign2 LIKE zfli_sig-sigid.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK sign.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR sign2.

SELECT sigid lname FROM zfli_sig INTO TABLE it_custid.

PERFORM search_help_field .

&----

*& Form search_help_field

&----

text

----

FORM search_help_field.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

retfield = ?????????????

dynpprog = sy-repid

dynpnr = sy-dynnr

dynprofield = ????????????

value_org = ????????????

TABLES

value_tab = it_custid

return_tab = ???????????

EXCEPTIONS

parameter_error = 1

no_values_found = 2

OTHERS = 3.

ENDFORM.

From ti s program, I had selected two fields namely, sigid and lname. So when I execute the program and pressed F4, I see already the search help box. But when I select an options, what I want to appear is the SIGID and not the LNAME.

Also, may you please elaborate further what should I placed on the function module having question marks.

thanks a lot.

======================================================

for your sign2 if u r looking for the same F4 help as sign1 u can achieve in following ways

1. make ur dataelement for Ztable same as that of KUNNr (PARAMETERS: sign1 like kna1-kunnr.)

2. if u r not able to do that

use at selection screen on value request for sign2

under this call the FM

F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST

passing kunnr
