Regarding Search help

Former Member — Fri, 09 May 2008 05:36:35 GMT

In transaction BP , from application bar select person. i.e person has to be created.

In that page in heading standard Address there is field called street. There is no search help displayed. But when we click F1 and on technical information.it shows table as ADDR2_DATA and field as street.

When we double click on Street it opens the above table and when we select Street and click Entry help/check tab button it shows that explicit search help CLSTRTNAME.

If search help is attached then why i am not able to see it on transaction BP.

hi,

This is because while designing screens by default F1 is attached to the screen field if one is using a standard database and its fields as F1 provides the technical information for the same.Whereas in case of F4 that needs to be explicitly be attached to the screen field.

This is the reason why in BP tcode screen one is able to see the technical info for the field street but the search help attatched to the field at data element level is not available at screen as it is not explicitly attached to it.

F4 help has to be explicitly attached to the screen field then only its available.

if useful please reward.

thanks

Well, I disagree with Mayank....when any screen field refers to any dictionary field it inherits all the properties of the dic field, even F1 and F4..there must be some other reason..

Sandeep,

We can disable the Search Help from the screen field. Goto the screen and then goto the Element List and there we have a Column heading "Input Help Key" If you put '0' there you can omit the default search help which has been define in the dictionary field.

This will resolve your issue.
