search help problem

[Former Member]

hi,

I got a problem regarding elementary search helps.

Whenever the search help does not retrieve any valid values a popup is displayed showing something like "no entries maintained. Do you want to maintain?".

This must not happen. Does anyone have a hint? It is a customer table (Z...) having a text table.

Thanks for an answer.

Hi,

Can you tell how you are creating your search help ie : what is the selection method used in it.

Try to give the selection method as table and give your table name from which you want to data to be populated.

Make sure that the selection table which your giving contains values in it.

Let me know if you need further information.

Thanks for the answer. But this does not really help me. Not so far.

a) search help is created in tcode se11 (elementary search help; not collective one)

b) selection method is the table itself.

search help is e.g. called ZTABLE1, selection method is ZTABLE1. the table itself. The table got a text table attached ZTABLE1_T.

I cannot make sure ZTABLE1 does contain data. This is customizing done by consulting.

Any other hint?

Check wheather you text table contains any data or its initial..

If initial then you need entries in that which will reflect in your search help

Sorry. Can you read my question and first reply please?

Your answer does not make any sense. Not at all.

I cannot influence whether my table contains data or not. As mentioned before.

This can happen if your field is linked to a search help (screen, DDIC structure, or data element) where there's an exit function module which initializes callcontrol-custtab = 'X'.

You'll see where SAP displays the popup by looking at (or debugging) the routine DISPLAY_EMPTY_RECORD_TAB of program SAPLSDSD, which calls routine ASK_CREATE (which displays that popup).

Hi,

What is the delivery class of your table?

Is this a customizing table?

I think what u see is a link for customizing.

Try to set it as an Application Table or create a view that uses this table

and use this view as the selection method.

I hope it helps.

Hi

I beleive your table does not contain any data that's why you are getting this message.

please check your table in SE11 and check the entries.

first maintain the data and then create search help.

i hope it willwork for you.

Thanks
