ABAP for displaying message using performance assistant

[Former Member]

I want to display the long form of a custom message using the performance assistant.

The following code successfully displays the long form of the message, but in the old style (before the performance assistant).

CALL FUNCTION 'HELP_OBJECT_SHOW'

EXPORTING

DOKCLASS = 'NA'

DOKLANGU = SY-LANGU

DOKNAME = 'ZINTERFACES001'

• DOKTITLE = ' '

CALLED_BY_PROGRAM = sy-cprog

CALLED_BY_DYNP = sy-dynnr

• CALLED_FOR_TAB = ' '

• CALLED_FOR_FIELD = ' '

• CALLED_FOR_TAB_FLD_BTCH_INPUT = ' '

MSG_VAR_1 = 'ABC'

MSG_VAR_2 = ' '

MSG_VAR_3 = ' '

MSG_VAR_4 = ' '

• CALLED_BY_CUAPROG = ' '

• CALLED_BY_CUASTAT =

• SHORT_TEXT = ' '

CLASSIC_SAPSCRIPT = 'X'

TABLES

LINKS = links

EXCEPTIONS

OBJECT_NOT_FOUND = 1

SAPSCRIPT_ERROR = 2

OTHERS = 3.

That is because we have CLASSIC_SAPSCRIPT = 'X' ("not in the performance assistant").

However when we have CLASSIC_SAPSCRIPT = ' ', then nothing is displayed.

Help please!

ex---

You can find out the identifier of the help text (F1 help) defined for a field in the ABAP Dictionary using the HELP-ID addition:

DESCRIBE FIELD <f> HELP-ID <h>.

If the field <f> is defined with reference to a data type from the ABAP Dictionary, the statement writes the help text ID into the variable <h>. You can use the ID in a suitable function module to display the help text.

DATA: company TYPE s_carr_id,

h(20) TYPE c,

tlink TYPE TABLE OF tline.

DESCRIBE FIELD company HELP-ID h.

CALL FUNCTION 'HELP_OBJECT_SHOW'

EXPORTING

dokclass = 'DE'

doklangu = sy-langu

dokname = h

TABLES

links = tlink

EXCEPTIONS

object_not_found = 1

sapscript_error = 2

others = 3.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

...

ENDIF.

In this program, the field H receives the name of the data element S_CARR_ID. The function module HELP_OBJECT_SHOW displays the documentation for the data element in a dialog box.

Reward all the helpful answers.

Hi,

You can try with the function module HELP_OBJECT_SHOW_FOR_FIELD

Thanks, but I am not wanting to show the help for a field.

I am wanting to show the long-text version of a message defined in SE91.

In case it is a clue to my problem:

the code given by Murali Poli does not work for me.

Try function module HELP_START
