Hi,

I have an issue, I need include CITY2 field into DEBIX search help so I include this field like parameter but when I check the transaction XD03 only I saw the field but no the values. I don´t have experience in that part, is necessary create a Search help exit to retrieve the values????

Thank in advanced for your help.

Hi I805749

For standard search help repository objects it is not possible to insert fields without a repair request. Search help exits are used to adjust layout properties by the developer.

Since you are an internal SAP developer, I guess you are developing/modifying the search help object "DEBIX" itself. Then inserting the field should be OK to retrieve values. It seems you have checked related boxes to make the field visible. Then;

1. Did you give right numbers as the line number and column number?

2. Are you sure that the selection method (i.e. the source table) of the search help contains non-space values for "CITY2"?

Hi I805749,

Are you are changing SAP delivered Search Help? If you are, DEBIX is using SAP delivered function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_CUSTOMER to popup selection screen and results for this search help. Hence, you can't simple add ORT02 field from KNA1 into this search help without modifying the codes in standard function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_CUSTOMER. If you want, you can copy this function to your own and include in the codes to display ORT02/City2. Then in DEBIX search help, use this function module instead.

Or you can create a view that is showing the same layout as the standard DEBIX plus, off course your ORT02 field, then use this view in your search help DEBIX instead of the function module. This way, you are making less repair to SAP standard.
