F4 User Exit

[Former Member]

Hi!

For different standard program like F-02, FS00....etc.

How can I further filter the f4 help result of the G/L account popup, according to different user login??

Could anyone please kindly advise me the steps to it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

You can create a Z table and populate the Z table with all the possible values for the GL accounts

and create a elementary search help for that GL account using that table and attach that field and use

or see the following code that has to be written in the program for F4 values

See the following ex:

TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_MBLNR,

MBLNR LIKE MKPF-MBLNR,

END OF TY_MBLNR.

DATA: IT_MBLNR TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_MBLNR WITH HEADER LINE.

data: it_ret like ddshretval occurs 0 with header line.

At selection-screen on value-request for s_mat-low.

Select MBLNR from mkpf into table it_mblnr.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

• DDIC_STRUCTURE = ' '

RETFIELD = 'MBLNR'

• PVALKEY = ' '

• DYNPPROG = ' '

• DYNPNR = ' '

• DYNPROFIELD = ' '

• STEPL = 0

• WINDOW_TITLE =

• VALUE = ' '

VALUE_ORG = 'S'

• MULTIPLE_CHOICE = ' '

• DISPLAY = ' '

• CALLBACK_PROGRAM = ' '

• CALLBACK_FORM = ' '

• MARK_TAB =

• IMPORTING

• USER_RESET =

TABLES

VALUE_TAB = IT_MBLNR

• FIELD_TAB =

RETURN_TAB = IT_RET

• DYNPFLD_MAPPING =

• EXCEPTIONS

• PARAMETER_ERROR = 1

• NO_VALUES_FOUND = 2

• OTHERS = 3

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

read table it_ret index 1.

move it_ret-fieldval to S_mat-low.

ENDIF.

Go through the test program.

REPORT Ztest_HELP .

TABLES : MARA.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.

PARAMETERS : P_MATNR(10) TYPE C.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.

DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

MATNR TYPE MATNR,

END OF ITAB.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_MATNR.

SELECT MATNR

FROM MARA

INTO TABLE ITAB

UP TO 10 ROWS.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

RETFIELD = 'MATERIAL NUMBER'

DYNPPROG = SY-REPID

DYNPNR = SY-DYNNR

DYNPROFIELD = 'P_MATNR'

VALUE_ORG = 'S'

TABLES

VALUE_TAB = ITAB

EXCEPTIONS

PARAMETER_ERROR = 1

NO_VALUES_FOUND = 2

OTHERS = 3.

Thanks Anji for answering...

I would like to know more about

"how to create a elementary search help", and also "attach that field".

Do you mean that I need to modify the standard to attach the newly created search help to that field? Or is there is any user exit exits?

Thanks!

Hi,

Create it from SE11.

enter search help

and create elementary

enter description and below Table name

and the fields

see the doc

1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).

2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.

3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.

4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.

5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.

6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.

Hi Chris ,

You can use a Search Help Exit to acheive your functionality.

See the link

Thanks Arun for answering.

I would like to know, it the "search help exit" something like user exit, where I can have my own coding in it, which will not be overwritten when upgrade?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris ,

Yes the conceprt of search help exit is similar to user exit , where you can add your own code to filter the search result or to add a new feild in the output .

Basically it has a few events which are triggred when the help is called , data is seleced , before the data is displayed , based on your requirement you need to add your code for the sepcific event.

Please refer to the FM <b>F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE</b>, which is an template for search help exits.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Arun
