Check table

Former Member — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 12:20:30 GMT

Hi,

I have a custom field added to a standard SAP table (Customer fields in PO header). This custom table uses a check table and the entries in check table are used for F4 help of the Z field. Now I need to restrict the F4 values displayed for the custom field based on some conditions. Is there any exit or any other way to restrict the values picked from the check table?

Thanks

That's a good answer. Why a comment? 🙂

Thanks, But I am not using search help. The field uses only a check table (as defined in table - Input help implemented with check table) and I believe the values are picked from the check table. So I am not sure how the search help exit would help here.

Subhashini,

1. Go to SE11.

2. In the field Search Help give Z* and press F4.

3. It will get a list of Custom Search Helps in your system.

4. Now,check if any of these Custom Search Helps are linked to Custom Search Help Exits.

5. If you find one such custom search help,then use the where-used list to find the Custom tables where it is in use.

6. Go to that table in SE11 and click on the tab ENTRY HELP/CHECK.You will get to see how the search help is maintained.

7. Double clicking on the Search Help Exit will navigate you to the corresponding FMs source code.

Hello Subhashini,

Create a Search Help as mentioned by Kiran.

go to table and go to Tab fields. Select your custom file and click on search Help and link it.

Please explain which are the "based on some conditions", because based on that, it may lead to a completely different answer.
