search helps

[Former Member]

Hi abapers,

I have a requirement to add a value to the search help in report RPCEDTG0, but I can't find the name of the search help!

Can anyone help please?

(apologies for the simple nature of question).

thanks

Which field are you looking at?

The chances are the search help is attached to the dictionary field.

Hi

I should probably reword my question..

Hi, apologies for the constant editing, I don't need a search help, but in fact need to change the HR Report category to include the field P0105-USRTY from the PNP database. When I'm trying to create a new Report category, I'm not able to see this field as a selection option in the report category, even though it is in the PNP database.

How can I add this?

Thanks

Hi,

The search helps available when clicking the SH button are those defined in the collective search help PREM. So I guess you only need to add your custom SH to the collective one (PREM) in SE11...

Hi,

I though you needed the usrty field available in search help...

How do you actually want to update the report category for this standard program? Are you going to repair it?

If you already have a repair key, why not simply add a new selection parameter?

Hi Manu

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I've tried to maintain the report category, but I'm not able to add a new 'allowable selection criteria' in the report category that I'm using. These are currently made up of PNP fields, but I'd like to add a field from P0105 aswell, which should be in PNP I believe.....

Not so sure about this. You can find the available selection criteria in table T599F...I cannot see any PNPUSRTY in there...

But you did not reply to my question, how are you going to maintain a standard report category? If you are going with a repair, you could only update the report instead of the report category...You could e.g. just add a new select-option for p0105-usrty and take it into account after the GET statement?

Hi,

Yes, Iu2019ve navigated to T599F via SE38, RPCEDTG0, Attributes, Change, HR report category.

There, I can see the available selection criteria, and my question really is if it is possible to add a new selection criteria to the existing report category.

I have also tried to create a new report category aswell, but this hasnu2019t worked either- youu2019re right, there is no PNPUSRTY, which I would really like to have...

If the field isnu2019t called from PNP, it would be ideal to add to the program, where is this GET statement?

thanks..

Hi,

Unfortunately I don't think you can add this field as new criteria by maintaining report category, but I can be wrong, I rarely uses HR categories and often find LDB a bit inefficient....Perhaps somebody else could help?

The GET is defined in include RPCEDS09 (line 181)...

Wish you luck

Manu.

I've added the table to the include now, but still not entirely sure how I can either add a new criteria to the hr category, or enable another way of sorting by this field in the program.

I am also wondering if I need to change the declaration for pernr structure so that it is using PNPCE database rather than PNP, although this might not be related.

(I should probably add I'm not abaper, but hr consultant)

Any feedback much appreciated...thanks...
