Hi,

If you are referring to a standard field then and if there is a Search help defined for it then you'll get it for your screen field.

If you dont then you have do the following way.

Get all the Billing Document Number and populate in an intenal table.

Use Function Module "VRM_SET_VALUES" and pass the values to it.

Note that you have to use it in event AT SELECTION_SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR <Screen Field name>.

Hope this might help you.

Thanks,

Prashanth

hi,

you can apply search help in following manner:

using function module :

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
  EXPORTING
*   DDIC_STRUCTURE         = 'tab'
    retfield               = 'WERKS'
*   PVALKEY                = ' '
   DYNPPROG               = sy-repid
   DYNPNR                 = sy-dynnr
   DYNPROFIELD            = 'S_WERKS'
*   STEPL                  = 0
*   WINDOW_TITLE           =
*   VALUE                  = ' '
   VALUE_ORG              = 'S'
*   MULTIPLE_CHOICE        = ' '
*   DISPLAY                = 'X'
*   CALLBACK_PROGRAM       = ' '
*   CALLBACK_FORM          = ' '
*   MARK_TAB               =
* IMPORTING
*   USER_RESET             =
  tables
    value_tab              = it_tab[]
*   FIELD_TAB              =
*   RETURN_TAB             =
*   DYNPFLD_MAPPING        =
 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.

can follow these simple steps for search help:

go to se11==> put some name after ticking search help radiobutton==> create==>
then tick " elementery search help " and press enter ===>then put description and table name in selection method ===>then put the field on which u want search help
in search help parameter==> tick IMP EXP ==> write 1 in lpos and spos===>save and activate===> double click on table name ===>  select that field and press *search help tab* above===> then copy

i hope it will help u a lot

another methods of applyind search help:

For search help sometimes we use MATCHCODE--~~->when we apply it directly to parameter or select option.they are obselete now ii.For search help sometimes we CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' ??~~----->if we want to populate data of internal table as search help.

iii.For search help sometimes we declare tablename-fieldname in selection?------>if that field in that table is having seach help or check table ..F4 will be avaliable directly.

also:

Fixed value of domain can also work as search help.

u can also refer:

hi,

A search help can be directly assigned to a screen field. In this case, the search help is only available for this screen. If the same field is used on several screens, the search help should generally be attached to the referenced table field or structure field .

You can attach a search help directly to a screen in the following ways.

The name of the search help must be entered in the Screen Painter in the Attributes for the field in the field Search help.

The name of the search help can be defined for selection screens in ABAP reports in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement directly following the supplement AS SEARCH PATTERN.

In both cases this assigns the first parameter of the search help to the screen field. As a result, only a value from the hit list can be returned to the screen template.

thanks

Hi,

You can directly use it, no need to write any statement "Match code object" while defining in the select options.
