I have created a ztable  and as per  requirement user wants to maintain entries. While  maintaining entries  user wants a suggesting inputs which should  come from some other ztables.   Suppose user enters  'a' then all the names start with 'a'  in some specific tables should be shown.

can you please help me in this.

Hi Sayed,

if the user wants live update/search like in many websites, sorry, it's not possible as far as i know in ABAP.

Otherwise, as per standard works, if the user puts 'a' and press F4 to get the available list, you have 2 choices:

1-no particular logic, just external db key = sap manage it without a single line of code

2-some kind of logic to apply in order to retrieve the list values = work with Selection Screen Events in ABAP - ABAP Development - SCN Wiki

Thanks Krishna. I tried the same but its not working. Cant we do that in SE38 without using HANA studio????

What's your version of SAP (HANA, at least 7.40 SP5?) you should perform some search with keywords like 'Search Help', 'Type-Ahead' and 'Fuzzy Search'.

its okay Simone.. I appreciate that  atleast you gave a try.

Its latest version and I tried with Search Help with  'Type-Ahead' and 'Fuzzy Search' but still not working. Is there any restrictions that it should work only in HANA Studio.

Hi Sayed

For a Z Table which is being maintained by a user, this sounds like Transportable configuration. Low volume of data.

If this is correct from a practicality point of view is the effort justified to implement this.

If the input values require validation against other tables this can be provided during the save process..On Save event of something to that effect.

HI Arden,

              Whenever user enters the data , they wants input fields to suggest some values just like we get while we google.. Exactly like this ( Spotlight on the Enhanced Search (F4 Help))  but the problem is  am not able to do it in se38 nor by applying search help to the field by checking  box of adavance options of search help.

Hi Sayed

I understand the requirement.

I'm questioning the practicality of the requirement.

How often will the user be maintaining this table? You need to balance this off the effort required to make this happen.

If they're only maintaining the table a few times a year I'd seriously question the effort required to get this in place.

From an SE38 functionality point of view I've never seem this successfully implemented. Perhaps as a UI5 or FIORI App this can be achieved with less effort.

Educate the customer as to what can and cannot be achieved.
