interactive F4 help

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I have the requirement of :

1. adding 2 fields to a table maintenance generator of a standard table,

2. adding an 'interactive' F4 help for the custom field.

Can anyone help me in figuring out how this can be achieved.

FYI.. interactive F4 should be drill down report types..

Thanks-

Hi Harmeet,

You can create elementary serach help for F4.

For creating serch help, goto Se11 and create serach help and select 'elementary'.

In the selection method, give the table name from where you want to pick up the field and its respective list of values. In dialog type, select the option of either 'Dialog depends on set of values' or 'Dialog with value restriction'. from the drop-down. This will give you interactive F4 help.

Then select the fields that should be there when you press F4 and provide necessary data like import/export and positions. Activate it.

Assign this search help to the table field, and activate.

Now when you press F4 for that particular field, you will get a dialog box where you can enter any value and check if that data is found or not. Like for ex. checking report in SE38 we type 'ZFI*' and we get list of entries matching the characters.

Hope this is useful.

Regards,

Saba

Hi Saba,

thanks for your help.

I think using search help I cannot use create a drill down F4help..

It has to be something like.. when user double clicks on an item, its next level should be displayed and so on...

Do you think it is possible through search helps.
