Creating search help

[Former Member]

I have added a new field to table QMEL, adn this field links to a 'Z' table. So I have created a domain poiting to this table, and a search help whihc passes in the customer number, and then passes back the value for my new field, based on what is held in the 'Z' table. This all works fine.

But then I have aded the new field to the IW51 transaction, and when using the search help in the transaction, the trasaction just returns the full list of options. So how can I get the transaction to pass in the customer number, so that it restrcits the returned list.

Looks like a strange problem........Try giving the search help in the Screen Field attribute.

Test the Search help nature on any selection Screen of your test program and observe the difference.

in the last option........Create a new search help by deleting this and observe the changes, if any.

I ended up wirting my own little fucntion module to produce the search help and I used the fucntion module DYNP_VALUES_READ to read the data from the screen that I needed to use as part of the search help

My function module is just a copy of FM QMHL_HELP_BELEG_POSITION...

The first thing I do in the PBO is:

PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.

FIELD maktx MODULE maktx_hlp_i10.

THEN..

DATA: BEGIN OF lit_dynpfields OCCURS 100.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE dynpread.

DATA: END OF lit_dynpfields.

DATA: ls_dyname LIKE d020s-prog.

DATA: ls_dynumb LIKE d020s-dnum.

DATA: ls_catalogue TYPE zmm_catalogue.

*--- Bespoked FM to produce search help list (popup) -

---

CALL FUNCTION 'Z_SKU_DESCRP_SEARCH_HELP'

IMPORTING

i_maktx = maktx

i_catalogue = ls_catalogue

EXCEPTIONS

data_not_found = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID 'Z0' TYPE 'I' NUMBER '000'

WITH 'No materials found'.

ENDIF.

*--- populate other screen fields with data brought back in above step

ls_dyname = 'ZMM_CREATE_CATALOGUE'.

ls_dynumb = sy-dynnr.

• Ext Desc

lit_dynpfields-fieldname = 'MATNR'.

lit_dynpfields-fieldvalue = ls_catalogue-matnr.

lit_dynpfields-fieldinp = 'X'.

APPEND lit_dynpfields.

CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'

EXPORTING

dyname = ls_dyname

dynumb = ls_dynumb

TABLES

dynpfields = lit_dynpfields
