customer search help for program name

former_member608640 — Tue, 25 Nov 2014 08:22:03 GMT

Hello there,

Transaction sm36wiz is a good way to build jobs.

The problem is when the user have to set the abap program name as a step.

In this point i would like to set a search help.

The data element "BTCPROG" doesn't have a standard search help.

Is there a way to set a search help?

Thank you,

Koby

Hello Kobi,

Try by implementing the field exit for the data element.

Refer the below link.

If the above option is not possible then you have to take an access key for the domain modification PROGNAME and maintain REPOSRC in the value table.

Changing an standard object by access key is not advisable, search in forums before trying.

Regards,

Hi tp,

Thanks for the quick answer.

It look like i need to modify the stadard sap screen with access key.

I prefer not to do this.

Meanwhile, I found another way to handle the problem:

Did you heard about "Guixt" ?

There is a script there just for me- add\replace a search help on a standard sap screen.

Thanks,

koby.

Hello Koby,

I found this document on Guitxt.

I am also not aware of it, it's good I learned something new from you.

Thanks,

Thanga

Hi Kobi,

Thanks, that's an interesting technique to know about! However, I am curious to know what is the pressing need for you to attach a search help in the background job wizard. I mean, no doubt a search help makes it easier to search objects but it finds value in case of frequently-used fields. Is job creation a frequent activity for you?

Regards,

Akshat

Hi Akshat,

The creation of jobs is a frequent activity in my site. The transaction SM36 is very hard to work with-

with full of screens,buttons etc.

The absent of search help for the field "abap program name" in SM36WIZ is very frustration...
