f4 to screen

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to change the F4 search help to an SAP Screen.

It seems that SAP allows modification to the seach help ( without the need to enter the access key). Is this a good practice?

If it's not, what is the better way to change the search help?

U need to try Search-help exit.

Thanks

Yes, you can change any search-help, if needed. But you will need to take a look at it during an upgrade since any underlying table-definition might be changed in a way that it invalidates the search help.

Usually however you do not change any searchhelp, but you copy it to you're own Z-version and than append the Z-version to the collective search help that you wish to modify.

Both the Z-version and modifying the search-help will do and are valid ways to get to the same goal.

Best way is copy the shearch help into z search helps.

Better don't change the existing ones.

The changes need to be documented and presented in audit if yours client is a SOX compliance.

hi,

you ca surely change the search help of sap standard screen because they have provided some enhancements(in the form of hooks) using exits.

procedure.

1. create Zview based on some condition(SE11).

2.create Zsearch help, attach your Zview(SE11).

3.Attach your Zsearchhelp to standard search help through SPRO(tcode).

Please Reward if found helpful.
