In a component of a structure i want to change the "Origin of input help " parameter . It is set to "No input help exists" according to my requirement i want to set it to "Input help implemented with check table".

Can anyone please help me in this.

HI khushboo,

1. we have to do that in SE11 itself.

2. open that structure in change mode

3. place your cursor on that field

4. Then press the button

on the toolbar (just above the grid)

The button name is 'Foreign Key'

(Just to the left of the Srch Help Button

5. It will now ask for a

check table.

6. Enter all the relevant details

and it will get done.

Hi Khushboo,

When you do an F4 for any component of a structure or table you'll get input options in one of the below cases -

1. You have created a Search Help for the field

2. The domain of the field has a value range or table specified

3. You have defined a check table for the field

4. You have coded for specific values on F4

Your requirement would be fulfilled if you have implemented the third step above. That is, assigned a check table to the field. This you can do in SE11. In the third tab (Entry help/Check) you can define a foreign key for the field. The table whose key fields are used to check the foreign key fields is known as the Check table. The Check table is used to check whether the input fields are valid and for input help(F4 help).

Hope this helps!

hi Saurabh ,

Thanks for your reply . but my problem is that there is a data element vkbur(sales office). value table is assigned to it at domain level. when it is used in a table and then on a screen then f4 help is present but in another transaction when then same data element is used as a part of a structure then on a screen then there is no f4 on that . what i found that the paramter Entry help/check is set to "No input help"

can you please provide a solution

thanks in advance

Hi again,

1. table is assigned to it at domain level

That itself is not sufficient for F4 help.

2. While using that field and dataelement

in any table/structure,

we have to EXPLICITLY

assign the check table.

(The name of the default/proposed

check table will get picked up from the

name of the value table in the domain, if specified)

3. Unless and until we do Step2,

no F4 help will come for that particular

table/structure.

thanks a lot for your suggestion

but problem is that f4 help is coming on the same data element in va01(in one transaction) but not comming in another transaction (vb01).

same data element is used in both the screens

so i am not getting what is the reason behind that

regards,

khushboo.
