Search Help

Hi,

I have created a search help where the selection method is a custom table. The field i use as parameter from this table are not unique/distinct. say it has values like A

A

B

But i require my search help to display the distinct values only - say

A

B

How can i achieve it ? Any suggestions plz.

Thanks in advance,

Asha

Hi,

As far i know, cant able to create a standard serach help with distinct values with reference to the table...

Rather u use the F.M

<b>F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST</b>

in ur program and use the select statement to get te distinct values u want and pass it to a internal table.. and then pass that table to this F.M.

This will do...

Cheers,

SImha.

Hi,

One way is to use a HELP VIEW instead of your custom table which has duplicate values. ONe more thing you can do is use a search help exit to filter the values. I dont think there is any way that you can filter values in the search help.

Thank you for your replies .Actually since i require this search help in my ALV - created using CL_GUI_ALV_GRID , it will be more helpful if i can perform the check at the table level rather than at program level . Can anone suggest me how to use the search help exits , if i can accomplish this functionality ?

Thanks,

Asha

Hi,

See the following search help it has a search help exit.

PREM.

Also by creating a helpview based on your table and then using that to create your own search help will also solve your problem. This will not have any program code but everything will be done by your helpview.

Hi,

You can check FM 'F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE.' for pointers.

This will help you.
