Problem with Search help selection

Former Member — Fri, 18 Oct 2013 01:48:20 GMT

Hi,

I have added a search help for a standard field in PR which is made mandatory. Search help provides facility to select a valid user from the list.When user selects a value it gets saved without any issues.But when I close the search help without selecting any value the incorrect value gets saved in the PR.

I have written the validation in BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST and the search help function module in an include program.

I need this validation to happen even before saving. Could anyone assist me on this please.

Hello Rekha.

Did you clear the search help return variable before each call?

If you had used the function module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST for the search help, then you can find out if end-user had selected a value or not using the return internal table RETURN_TAB.

Regards.

Hi Arun,

Thanks for the reply.I am using F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST and have an internal table in RETURN_TAB. Where do I have to clear the return_tab, just before the call to the FM?

Regards

Hi ,

Plz check the return variable at validation code in BADI ME_PROCESS_REQ_CUST whether the value is blank , and if the input value from search help is blank, clear the input field and wait for the user manual input if necessary or skip and proceed to next in the program.

Regards,

Shruti

Rekha,

Clear[] the internal table(RETURN_TAB) just before calling the FM.

That internal table will be filled with value chosen by user.

Hii Rekha,

refresh the return_tab itab before calling the FM F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST and debug the code.This FM have only one tables parameter as return_tab

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'

       EXPORTING

         tabname                   = 'ZAPT_05ACCNT'

         fieldname                 = 'ACNTNO'

*        SEARCHHELP                = ' '

*        SHLPPARAM                 = ' '

        DYNPPROG                  = sy-repid
        DYNPNR                    = sy-dynnr
*        DYNPROFIELD               = ' '
*        STEPL                     = 0
*        VALUE                     = ' '

*        USER_RESET                =

      TABLES
        RETURN_TAB                = t_rtn -------->type DDSHRETVAL.

      EXCEPTIONS
        FIELD_NOT_FOUND           = 1
        NO_HELP_FOR_FIELD         = 2
        INCONSISTENT_HELP         = 3
        NO_VALUES_FOUND           = 4
        OTHERS                    = 5
               .
     IF sy-subrc <> 0.

     ENDIF.

So betterTry to use FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST may it help u

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

      EXPORTING

        retfield        = 'ACNTNO' ------->for which field u want the dynamic search help should be same as table field name

        dynpprog        = sy-repid

        dynpnr          = sy-dynnr

        dynprofield     = 'P_ANO'     ----->parameters name

*       window_title    = 'Selection screen'

*       VALUE           = ' '

        value_org       = 'C' ----------->C displayed as cell by cell S as structure

      TABLES

        value_tab       = t_f4 ------------->internal table having data to be displayed in search help

        field_tab       = t_ft ------------->field internal table

        return_tab      = t_rtn     ------------->return table

        dynpfld_mapping = t_dd --------internal table for dynamic field mapping

      EXCEPTIONS

        parameter_error = 1

        no_values_found = 2

        OTHERS          = 3.
