searchhelp customizing tables

Former Member — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 07:14:36 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to define a searchhelp for COBRB-KONTY. SAP uses a special function that reads customizing tables. How can I implement this functionality for my own InputField?

Thanks,

Sai.

Use the Function Module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST

Check the sample code:

PARAMETERS : p_kunnr TYPE kna1-kunnr .

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_kunnr.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

retfield = field_tab-fieldname

TABLES

value_tab = value_tab

field_tab = field_tab

return_tab = return_tab

EXCEPTIONS

parameter_error = 1

no_values_found = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

p_kunnr = return_tab-fieldval.

ENDIF.

Look at this code..

data : t_return like ddshretval occurs 0 with header line.

at selection-screen on value-request for s_slno-low.

select DISTINCT ecod slno from zsettlement into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF

TABLE itab.

SORT ITAB BY SLNO.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

DDIC_STRUCTURE = ' '

retfield = 'zsettlement-slno'

PVALKEY = ' '

DYNPPROG = sy-repid

DYNPNR = sy-dynnr

DYNPROFIELD = 'zsettlement-slno'

STEPL = 0

WINDOW_TITLE = 'Search Help'

VALUE = ' '

VALUE_ORG = 'S'

MULTIPLE_CHOICE = ' '
DISPLAY = ' '
CALLBACK_PROGRAM = ' '
CALLBACK_FORM = ' '
MARK_TAB =
IMPORTING
USER_RESET =

tables

value_tab = itab

FIELD_TAB =

RETURN_TAB = t_return

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.

Hi,

You can write your own searchhelp function.

Two examples are to be found in the documentation on InputField, section "Programmed matchcode help".

I suggest you proceed as follows:

- Find out which function is used in the SAP system to display the seachhelp (use ABAP debugging)

-Test the appropriate parameterization of this function with SE37, test environment

- Write an ABAP exit program like the one shown in Example 2 of the keyword documentation

Reward Points if found helpfull..

Cheers,
