Search Help - Problem after transporting changes

[Former Member]

I modified an elementary search setting the export flag

on 3 parameters in addition to the 1 export parameter

previously set. There are a total of 7 parameters. My intent is to map these 3 additional fields to the screen.

I call function module 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST' passing a callback form F4_WR_CALLBACK. After the call to 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST' I read the return table lt_return and then update the 3 screen fields using function 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'. It works perfectly in my

dev system. After transporting to QA it no longer works.

In going through debug, I can see that in my QA environment when executing the following statement: IMPORT shlp callcontrol-attachkind timestamp timerelobj_tab

FROM SHARED BUFFER ddshoffld(if) ID sh_buf_id.

the shlp-interface table does not include the 3 new parameters added to the search help whereas it does in dev.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

<u>The code follows:</u>

call function 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'

exporting

tabname = 'ZIX_SCG_INTORD'

fieldname = 'AUFNR'

dynprofield = 'GS_ES_ATTRS-WORK_REQ'

callback_program = 'SAPLZES_SCREENS'

callback_form = 'F4_WR_CALLBACK'

tables

return_tab = lt_return

exceptions

field_not_found = 1

no_help_for_field = 2

inconsistent_help = 3

no_values_found = 4

others = 5.

form f4_wr_callback tables record_tab structure seahlpres

changing shlp type shlp_descr_t

callcontrol like ddshf4ctrl.

data: interface like line of shlp-interface.

interface-valtabname = 'GS_ES_ATTRS'.

interface-valfield = 'WORD'.

modify shlp-interface from interface

transporting valtabname valfield

where shlpfield = 'WORD'.

interface-valtabname = 'GS_ES_ATTRS'.

interface-valfield = 'WORK_REQ'.

modify shlp-interface from interface

transporting valtabname valfield

where shlpfield = 'WORK_REQ'.

interface-valtabname = 'GS_ES_ATTRS'.

interface-valfield = 'PROJ'.

modify shlp-interface from interface

transporting valtabname valfield

where shlpfield = 'PROJ'.

endform.

Hi Bob,

Every Import Statement should have an export statement. I hope you have transported the object/report/program which has that EXPORT statement.

I would say, that the only problem `The program which has the Export statement is not transported to QA`. Once you transport it, the problem would be solved.

Thank You Prashant. Actually the Export is done in one of the standard SAP Search Help function modules DD_SHLP_GET_HELPMETHOD which is invoked when calling

F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST. It seems to me that it is not retrieving the new definition of the interface from the dictionary.

Hello Bob

I would recommend to make a simple version comparison of the search help between DEV and PROD. If you see any difference there then transport your search help again to PROD.

Thank You Uwe. I already did the compare and it checks out fine.

Some additional information:

If I run FM DD_SHLP_GET_HELPMETHOD in my Dev and QA systems the changing parameter SHLP-interface returns the 4 paramters in QA and correctly returns the 7 in my Dev system. The SHLP is updated in form SHARED_BUFFER_IMP_INTERFACE using the Import statement I included in my first post.
