search help in dialog program

Former Member — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 15:34:08 GMT

Hi all,

Fora search help in dialog program.

I HAVE TO GET SEARCH FOR A FIELD ZID ON APARTICULAR SCREEN BASED ON DATA, MODIFIED BY AND A PLANT..

I HAVE A RECORD IN ONE MY ZTABLE.

I HAVE TO GET THAT BY SEVERAL SEARCH PARAMETERS SAY BY DATE , MODIFIED BY,PLANT ETC.

each user has been assigned a plant , so in search he has to get records belonging to that plant.

so i cannot include plant in my search help, because user may type in other plant.

so i tried two ways

1) i created a search help in se11 including the plant field again the problem arises if the user types a different plant.

so i want to know whether we can apassa value to plant field in search help(i.e the plant assigned to the user),

i have this kind of thing in some standard t -code i.e especially for searching material , the plant field in search help was filled by one plant.

this should be one of the solution

2)I tried to write a code in pov of program code.

this is how my code looks.

DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE ZXXX.

DATA : END OF ITAB.

ITAB HAS FIELDS ID, DATE , MODIFIEDBY , PLANT.

USER_PLANT = 'ABC'.

SELECT * FROM ZXXX INTO TABLE ITAB WHERE PLANT = USER_PLANT.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

DDIC_STRUCTURE = ' '

RETFIELD = 'ZID'

PVALKEY = ' '
DYNPPROG = ' '
DYNPNR = ' '
DYNPROFIELD = ' '
STEPL = 0

WINDOW_TITLE = 'TEST'

VALUE = ' '

VALUE_ORG = 'S'

MULTIPLE_CHOICE = ' '
DISPLAY = ' '
CALLBACK_PROGRAM = ' '
CALLBACK_FORM = ' '

TABLES

VALUE_TAB = ITAB

FIELD_TAB =

RETURN_TAB = IT_RETURN4

DYNPFLD_MAPPING =
EXCEPTIONS
PARAMETER_ERROR = 1
NO_VALUES_FOUND = 2
OTHERS = 3

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

if sy-subrc = 0.

clear itab.

read table it_return4 index 1.

ZXXX-ZID = it_return4-fieldval.

endif.

THIS WORKS FINE , BUT HE CANNOT SEARCH BASED ON DATE AND MODIFIEDBY

ALL i want is is get a pop up window and should be able to search based on data and modifiedby for a predifined plant.

I hope iam clear.

Thanks

Hi,

Goto SE11..Give the search help name ..Press change button..

In the definition tab..

There will be field called Search help exit..There you can give a Function module name..

Have the logic inside the FM..

Hope this helps..

Thanks,

Hi,

Create a FM with the following code..The interface is defined in the code..

In the Function module top include add the following code.

<b>TYPE-POOLS: shlp, vrm.</b>

IN this code I am deleting the records that are not of the currency USD...

Do the same thing for your requirement...

FUNCTION Y_SEARCH_HELP_EXIT.

*"----

""Local interface:

*" TABLES

*" SHLP_TAB TYPE SHLP_DESCR_TAB_T

*" RECORD_TAB STRUCTURE SEAHLPRES

*" CHANGING

*" REFERENCE(SHLP) TYPE SHLP_DESCR_T

*" REFERENCE(CALLCONTROL) LIKE DDSHF4CTRL STRUCTURE DDSHF4CTRL

*"----

where z_test is my z table..

DATA: ITAB LIKE Z_TEST OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

ITAB[] = RECORD_TAB[].

IF NOT RECORD_TAB[] IS INITIAL.

DELETE ITAB WHERE WAERS <> 'USD'.

RECORD_TAB[] = ITAB[].

ENDIF.

ENDFUNCTION.

Thanks,

Naren

Hi,

Yes. You have to create the Function group manually..

In SE37 ..in the menu ..Go to -> Function groups -> Create Function group.

Thanks,

as you are saying its a dailog program, you should write any code under PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST event.
