search help Custom Table.

Former Member — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 11:25:15 GMT

Hi Experts,

I have a custom table with 4 fields.

On the selection screen i have these exact four fields too.

I designed a elementary search help as well.

Now my requirement is.

On selecting a row in F4 all the four fields have to be filled.

The selection screen parameters should be filled only upon selecting the values from search help.

regards,

Kevin.

Hello Kevin,

try to define the 4 fields as EXPORT parameters in the search help definition. The screen fields definition might have to be changed (cf. [search help attachment|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/cf/21ee93446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm] ).

You can also overwrite the fields values in a [search help exit |http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/cf/21ee52446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm], but consider your ROI first. It is a lot of work for a what seems to be a small effect.

hope this helps,

J. N. N.

Does it work in the test mode (F8 in Display/Maintain Search Help screen)?

if yes, then consider how the search help is attached to your fields. You might have to attach the search help to the screen.

If not, have a look at e.g. search help MAT1P that returns 3 fields values.
