search help items reduction

[Former Member]

I want to reduce the search help output linked to a parameter

for example these are the initial values of the search help:

now, I want to display only the first 3 values, that is:

how can I do? can you tell me the code to put please?

Hi Nick,

you can write your logic in

AT SELECTION-SCREEN on value request

and use F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST fm and fill value_Tab.

Or you can use search help exit.

can you make a code example?

here is an example link

but in this case there will be only one value

READ TABLE it_return into wa_return index 1.
p_ebeln = wa_return-fieldval.

nick.reyan Do you really want the user to select several values from the search help? Is it a Select-Options field?

Hi Nick,

My assumption is that it's for a custom search help.

1. You can edit search help to change it to display values with restrictions and then default some values to selection fields.

2. You can write your logic in search help exit to filter the list.

both points are fine, can you make a code example?

Refer to function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE for an example of search help exit.

The rule of selecting the first three values is weird (random filtering?). Isn't there a filter criterion based on a field value?
