Hi,

You would need to develop a custom search help for the field in you custom table

A search help would be sufficient

Check out the following links for the same

Hi Sneha,

I think in this case , instead of going to se11 and creating a search help, you can make use of the FM F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST for generating a search help option for the field and other FMs like DYNP_VALUES_READ and F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST

Just refer this link and go through the program.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/dbaac935c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm

Hope my point is clear.

Regards,

SP.

INITIALIZATION.

SELECT slstid INTO TABLE t_search FROM DBTABLE WHERE slstid LIKE 'SAP%'. ( shows the items starts with SAP)

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR field.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

retfield = 'SLSTID'

dynpprog = sy-cprog

dynpnr = sy-dynnr

dynprofield = 'FIELD'

value_org = 'S'

TABLES

value_tab = t_search.

Hi Sneha,

Please check this,

To avoid the standard F4 help to be shown and wants to add your own search help, insert the event

PROCESS ON-VALUE-REQUEST request in the program and

add a field statement for the field that should trigger the F4 help. In the module PROCESS ON-VALUE-REQUEST, call function module F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST.

Example:

process before output.

.....

process after input.

.....

PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.

FIELD sflight-carrid MODULE f4_help_for_carrid.

MODULE f4_help_for_carrid INPUT.

NOTE:

Tabname/fieldname is the name of the table and field

for which F4 should be shown.

Dynprog/Dynpnr/Dynprofield are the names of the Progran/Dynpro/Field

in which the f4 value should be returned.

Value: The value of the Dynpro field when calling the F4 help.

You can limit the values shown, by inseting a value in this parameter

e.g 'A*' to show only values beginning with A

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

tabname = 'SFLIGHT'

fieldname = 'CARRID'

SEARCHHELP = ' '
SHLPPARAM = ' '

dynpprog = 'ZDANY_F4_OWN_CALL'

dynpnr = '0100'

dynprofield = 'SFLIGHT-CARRID'

STEPL = 0

value = 'A*'

MULTIPLE_CHOICE = ' '
DISPLAY = ' '
SUPPRESS_RECORDLIST = ' '
CALLBACK_PROGRAM = ' '
CALLBACK_FORM = ' '
TABLES
RETURN_TAB =

EXCEPTIONS

FIELD_NOT_FOUND = 1

NO_HELP_FOR_FIELD = 2

INCONSISTENT_HELP = 3

NO_VALUES_FOUND = 4

OTHERS = 5

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

ENDMODULE. " F4_help_for_carrid INPUT

To control F4 help in a selection screen use the

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR <field> event.

Note that for ranges both the low and high value of the field must have

their own ON VALUE-REQUEST

Example:

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR s_prctr-low.

PERFORM f4_help_carrid.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR s_prctr-high.

PERFORM f4_help_carrid.

In this perform, again u need to call the above mentioned FM.

If found helpful, please do reward.
