Table Contents - Input help

Former Member — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 10:47:06 GMT

Hi all,

When I view table contents by giving a specific value to one of its field as selection criterion, it is found that some records exist for that value.

But instead of viewing contents directly, if I click on the input help for the same table field, the above mentioned value doesn't appear in the help list.

What is the reason for this ?

Regards,

- Shankar.

Hi 

  It can be that search help or value table might be referring to a different data element or domain.

Kind Regards

Hi Shankar ,

either your search help is referring to another table or the data element for your search help is <b>case sensitive .</b>

Yes, I had found that TKA01 is the required table.

However, surprisingly, the table TKA01 does not contain record for the controlling area value, which I am looking for in search help of CSKS table. And its search help list is also identical to that of CSKS.

Does this mean that -

1) some KOKRS search values are manually 'added' somewhere ?

2) some other table than TKA01 is being referred ?

Thanks,

Would you be more specific on whats your exact requirement now ?

Hi Shounak,

I was trying to make a simple list of all the controlling areas for which there are records in table CSKS. Hence while viewing CSKS contents, I used search help for KOKRS. But I found that this list does NOT contain all the KOKRS values for which records exist in CSKS.

Hi Shankar ,

I have also tried with the system available here but i couldnt find any help values . What I understand is there must be a FREE TEXT FIELD to enter controlling area .

So you can probably get values from transparent table instead of master table .

Shounak,

I found one more thing. In search help for CSKS, at the top of that pop-up window, there is one icon resembling to expand/collapse function. If you click that, there is one more selection screen-like thing. There if I enter a value (which is absent in the help list below), I am asked whether I want to 'generate' a new entry for this value. So it means (probably) if I generate entry this way, next time I might be able to see that value also in the search list.

Regards

Shankar.
