2nd paramater based on first parameter's values using only search help

Former Member — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 07:04:53 GMT

Hi all,

I have purchasing doc.type(BSART) and Purchase order no(EBELN) in selection screen.When F4 is selected on EBELN I want to give only the list of PO.s which will come under type given in 1st parameter .I know that I can do it using AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST FOR EBELN event. But I would like to get it using search helps only.

I refered H_ T001L and H_T001W search helps as reference but couldn't.

I created a search help for BSART :ZSHLP_BSART(Elementary search help),

[ Importing and exporting parameter is BSART]

another search help for EBELN :ZSHLP_EBELN(Elementary)(Search help exit: F4UT_OPTIMIZE_COLWIDTH)

[Importing and exporting parameters are :BSART,EBELN]

:ZCSHLP_EBELN(Collective)(Search help exit:F4UT_SET_DIALOGTYPE_SHLP_EXIT)

[Importing and exporting parameters are :BSART,EBELN]

And I have included ZSHLP_EBELN in ZCSHLP_EBELN.

But I didn't get the required feature.

Could you guide where I made mistake?

Thank you.

Hi all,

When I debug the function module F4UT_SET_DIALOGTYPE_SHLP_EXIT while selecting F4 for field EBELN, I am not getting any records in table SHLP_TAB-INTERFACE .But when I see the same Func.module in debug mode pressing F4 for LGORT field, I am getting one record for WERKS field and the value of plant I selected in selection screen in that table,so I think it's fetching only storage locations related to that particular plant. Could you suggest what settings I need to maintain in my search helps to get BSART as interface for EBELN parameter in that internal table.

Thank you.

Hi Jaya,

I don't need to create a dictionary search help for the purpose of building a dependent search help.

Why don't you use F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST to create a chain value help.

Refer to this link below which has code snippet of a sample application with chain dropdown.

Hope it is helpful.

Cheers,

Ravi

Hi Ravi,

I already used this F.module in some cases and I got the required F4 help features. But, my concern is, I can reuse these search helps in any no. of reports if I get it through search help objects. So, I am trying to find out where was the mistake I made when it's working fine in case of Plant and storage location search helps created by SAP.

Thank you.
