ABAP - read search help programmatically without popup

former_member201275 — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 11:58:52 GMT

How can I code in my program, to read search help H_T001 and pass BUKRS value and return the fields in the search help i.e. WAERS.

Everything I have found on here causes a popup which I don't want. The program will run and I will get the BUKRS value from another table, then I want to read the search help H_T001 and return the WAERS.

Please note I don't want to do this in foreground i.e. no popups, this should happen in the program itself.

Thank you kindly in advance. Please note I have tried googling this but to no avail. 😞

Hi Glen,

Try below example for that scenario and read FIELDNAME and FIELDVAL returned.

Regards

DATA: ls_shlp TYPE shlp_descr,
      lt_ret_ TYPE TABLE OF ddshretval.

  ls_shlp-shlpname = 'H_CREP_DSP' .
  ls_shlp-shlptype = 'SH'.
  ls_shlp-intdescr-dialogtype = 'D'.

  CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_SELECT_VALUES'
    EXPORTING
      shlp       = ls_shlp
    TABLES
      return_tab = lt_ret_.
...
