You would need to special code your own search help.

For example, say I wanted to only show the company codes in the US for the S_BUKRS select option help.

report zrich_0001 .

tables: t001.

data: begin of it001 occurs 0,
      bukrs type t001-bukrs,
      butxt type t001-butxt,
      ort01 type t001-ort01,
      land1 type t001-land1,
      end of it001.

select-options s_bukrs for t001-bukrs.

initialization.

<b>  select bukrs butxt ort01 land1 into table it001 from t001
                where land1 = 'US'.</b>

  sort it001 ascending by bukrs.
  delete adjacent duplicates from it001 comparing bukrs.

at selection-screen on value-request for s_bukrs-low.

  call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       exporting
            retfield    = 'BUKRS'
            dynprofield = 'S_BUKRS'
            dynpprog    = sy-cprog
            dynpnr      = sy-dynnr
            value_org   = 'S'
       tables
            value_tab   = it001.

start-of-selection.

HI Rich,

Ur reply given me some idea but how can i assign a search help directly as sara*

Enduser press f4 then it searches for sara* directly so no need of typing sara* by enduser.

If you had a custom search help, then try to give 'SARA*' in default column. (Have'nt tried as I don't have access to system now)

Or else worst way is to control in search help exit. Refer to this link <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cf/21ee52446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm">Search Help Exit</a>

Can you please let us know which database field this is that you are using and the table for values?

All you need to do is put 'SARA*' in your WHERE clause of the SELECT statement. So where is the issue?

Hi,

I tried with SARA* in default column and i cant activate it cos of errors and also tried in where clause in select statement. it says no values found cos no values r there with sara* in database.

DATABASE: Table : TCG81

Field : SLSTID

Is your select statement something like this?

SELECT slstid INTO TABLE value_tab
              FROM tcg81
             WHERE slstid LIKE 'SARA%'.

Sorry, it should be '%' not '*'.

If there are no values there that start with 'SARA' then why are you restricting the values to this non-existant pattern?
