Problem with search help exit

Former Member — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 09:20:00 GMT

Hi all,

I have a requirement, wherein I need to build a search help for ProcessID field in cockpit.I have developed an elementary search help and a search help exit which reads the plant entered by the user , selects data based on this and then the search help is provided.

When I select a particular value in the hitlist, the selected value is not getting

returned to the field.Can you please let me know as to what might be the problem.

Can u please let me know as to whether it is the problem with control step .The record tab is also filled but it does not return the value to the ProcessID field in cockpit.

Thanks in advance,

Meghana.

Hi Meghana,

check in search help whether import checkbox is checked or not for that field, if not check it. check you have maintained SPOS and LPOS values also.

Reward if it helps,

Welcome to SDN forum

see the steps in detail about search help and create it and use correctly

1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).

2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.

3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.

4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.

5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.

6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.

CREATION:

Go to SE11 Tcode

select search help

give the 'z' search help name and create

select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'

dialog module 'display value immediately'.

add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.

where left position when displaying and spos = search position

and then save and activate ..
