call SE11 Search Help through ABAP code.

[shalabh_jain]

Hello,

I have a requirement in which I need to call various search helps created through SE11 in a Function Module. I want the Search help to return the Values which I would use in my Function Module.

Please suggest if there's a standard FM/ Statement to process SE11 Search helps.

Thanks,

Shalabh

Hi

You can use FM HELP_VALUES_GET_WITH_TABLE Or F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.

The FMs suggested give information of the fields of the search help.

I require the contents of the search help to be returned.

Thanks,

More suggestions for what? If you want to show an SE11 search help and get the values picked by the user you need to use this 2 FM. It's as simple as that.

F4IF_GET_SHLP_DESCR

F4IF_START_VALUE_REQUEST

[shalabh_jain]

These FMs help in displaying the Search Help on screen.

I simply want a backend logic that executes an SE11 search help in the background and returns a table of the search help contents.

Thanks,

Shalabh

OK That's much better explained.

Then after using F4IF_GET_SHLP_DESCR use F4IF_SELECT_VALUES to get the values.

[kesavadas_thekkillath]

Please note that if your execuitng the search help with out any values passed then it might lead to performance issues. If you culd explain why you are doing this then may be you can get a better suggestion in forums here.

I want the Search help to return the Values which I would use in my Function Module

Hi,

It cannot return all the values but can only return for an importing parameter. Please explain your query clearly such how will you pass the importing parameters to search help etc.

Hi,
I'm new to abap and i have the same scenario. Have you resolved your concern? if so, can I ask for a solution. I want to get the return values from my elementary search help created in se11. Other FM's only allow to show the search help itself but I want to get multiple return values. Please help
