F4 Help

Former Member — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 12:08:32 GMT

Hi experts,

If I create a Z table by copying a table MARA, will the F4 help work in the Z table if I do not create search help explicitly for it?

Thanks,

Mohit.

HI,

If you copy the MARA table using the Copy option then for what ever fields the F4 help is provided in MARA will be refelected in ZTABLE.

If you manually created the ZTABLE looking at the MARA fields then you need to use the same data elements as used in the MARA table for the corresponding fields and if any search help is provided for particular field then you need to maintain the same in Ztable.

Hi:

F4 help depends on the Data element and if you copy the mara, the F4 should be available,

for details have a look

Hi friends,

F4 help will automatically gives when u r copying,

whereas while creating a z table u need to follow the steps as given below:

Step1: give the standard filed name and dataelement then press 'entr'

step2 : Goto from standard table select the field u r using and click on the tabstrip 'Entry help/check'

u can see 'srch help' field copy the value in the field against ur require d field.

step4: Goto ur ztable and select copied field , then click on 'srch help' button u will get a popup

in that popup simply entr the value copied from the standard table

eg: for matnr the value will be 'MAT1'.

follow the next popup click on 'Generate praposal' and 'Copy'

then the search help will be copied .then Ur problem be solve.

I have faced the same problem , then i have resolved in this manner,

Hope this will help u out,

Thanks & Regards,

Yes all Search help (F4) functionality will work for copied table also, because in table MARA all are standard fields and all standard fields are using standard Data element (and data element contains the technical as well as semantic attributes) so it will support F4 help, F1help, An input check all the things. For verification you go to the table and check in Entry help/check tab of your table. If suppose in your table you have customized field also and with those fields search help is attached than better to verify in Entry help/check tab whether its mapped properly or not .

 Call Function 'HELP_VALUES_GET'
 DISPLAY               = 'Title'

Yes definitely the F4 help will work .

Reason

F4 help is not attached to the table but it is attached to the domain.

The table that you copied has the data elements whos domains will have standard

search help attached to it. Please check it out you will find.
