Search help problem in module pool

former_member224444 — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 12:03:04 GMT

Hi Guru's,

I have a screen in Module pool which has 6 input fields, each input field is attached to the same search help.

EMPID

EMPNAME

PHONE

DEPTID

DEPTDESC

These fields are from 'Z' table. I have created a collective search help USING these 6 fields. All the 6 fields are marked for IMPORT and EXPORT.

So whenever i click F4 on any of the above 6 fields, It will display search help popup and returns some rows...But the values are transfered back only for 1 fields ..i.e for the first field only (EMPID).

I want that ...as soon as i select any of the row from Search hit list..corresponding field from that row should get populated.

Regards,

Rithika.

Do a parameter assignment for all the six field in your collective search help. You get the button "Param.Assignment" in Included search help tab. See standard collective search help DEBI and included search help DEBID for your reference.

Hello,

Try to directly assign the value to the specific Selection screen parameter name..

Just a question, would it be possible that user can choose a value which is not pertaining to the combination of the 6 fields?

To simplify the situation create a elementary search help USING these 6 fields.

Attach search help to these 6 fields in 'Z' table using SE11(Explicit search help attachment to field).

I have done the parameter assignment for these fields also, still the problem exist. I have created this collective search by including two 'z' search help , and i have also tried attaching elementary search help to these fields in z table. Nothing is working.

I did it by myself. And it works like a charm. Here are the steps what I followed.

1. Create a elementary search help for all the fields and remember to tick the "export" check box for the field you want to transfer from screen.

2. Create a collective search help. This is optional and will only be required if you want to include more that one search help. Do the parameter assignment as I suggested earlier.

3. Create a dictionary structure with all the fields and add the search help in the field level by search help assignment in the Entry help/Check tab in SE11.

4. Now refer the field to the dictionary structure ( e. g. STRUCTURE-FIELD1) that was created in Step 3.

Now it should work.

Hope it helps.

Rithika,

Pass the data elements to the Search method as exporting parameters.

All the other configuration looks fine for me.

Dear SK,

Hi Rithika,

May be the problem is that you have drop down fields instead of normal fields with Search help. Please try with converting them to normal fields.

You can also try to with POV and using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM and then populate the data programmatically.

Dear Rudra,

Except DeptID all the fields are normal fields only, its not working for normal fields also, i can use F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST, but my question is why is it not working if i assign search help to the field.

Former Member — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:04:25 GMT

I don't know. I tried by myself and it worked perfectly fine. So i thought it might be due to drop down listbox.

Hi Rithika,

I think that you should start with a simpler version, get it to work, and then gradually move to your case.

I did following steps with standard objects of SAP , so you can replicate,check and

compare your development with my work.

1. Create a table ZKTEST.

2. Create a help view ZKTEST_VIEW.

3. Create a elementary search help ZKTEST.

4. Create a collective search help ZKTEST_COLL.

5. Assign collective search help ZKTEST_COLL to fields in SE11.

Hope it helps.

Dear Boris,

I have followed the steps as you said, but the problem is not not solved, i think am making some mistake in module pool screen in assignment part of search help to the field. Can you give screen shot of module pool screen with search help assignment to the field. It will be helpful.

Thanks,

You must only create fields on module pool screen without assignment of search help to them.

The fields automatically will be assigned to search help by inheritance from data dictionary properties.
