Search Help Refresh

[Former Member]

Hello,

I implemented a search help with an own search help exit. In this search help exit I control the hit list based on the field 'VKORG'.

If I open the sales order dialog for a specific sales order, the hit list is getting generated correctly. If I leave the dialog (without calling the transaction once again) and take a sales order number having another 'VKORG' the hit list shows the old (wrong for this 'VKORG') values. It need to be refreshed -> search help exit called again.

It only works if the transaction is called again.

Do you have any solution to call the search help again without rerunning the complete transaction?

Best Regards

Mike

Hi Mike,

where is your search help exit getting the Sales Organization from?

The search help is assigned to a field in table VBKD. Additional to the "normal" parameters I do send VBELN out of VBKD to the search help exit. In the search help exit I read VBAK.

But I think that is nonrelevant. The problem is that the search help is only initially called when transaction is called.

The search Help Exit is called for the various steps it performs each time you press F4 on the field it is assigned to. Just put a break point into the exit function.

In my case it is assigned a VBKD dictionary field and SAP does not allow to assign it to the related dynpro field. In this case it is definitly not performed each time the F4 button is pressed (break point)    😞

Maybe you would like to paste your code inside search help exit then. It will help anybody wants to analyze.

I set a breakpoint at the first step of the search help exit. It is going to get called only once when the transaction is called. Because of this fact it doesn't matter what the code inside the search help exit looks like.

Hi,

Based on the documentation the FM F4UT_RESULTS_MAP should be called when callcontrol-step = 'SELECT' .

So what might be happening that since you are calling it in 'DISP' step the data is not getting refreshed because this FM might be using ABAP memory to keep the old data.

So try this.

Move the entire code to under IF callcontrol-step = 'SELECT'  instead of 'DISP'

And at the end set callcontrol-step = 'DISP' .

So the logic should be:

IF callcontrol-step = 'SELECT' .

.....Your code..

set callcontrol-step = 'DISP' .

ENDIF.
