Unable to see F4 help option after assigning Search help to Data element

[former_member810883]

Hi all,

I have a requirement, whereby I have a field , with F4 enabled. If I press F4, it should popup a window with some more fields, some of which

should have F4 enabled as well. In that popup, those which have F4 enabled, I should press F4 and get the data.

I tried creating a search help, which has a parameter for the first field and assigned it to a Data element, which has another search help for the subsequent selection fields. For the subsequent search help, I kept the Dialog type as "Dialog with value restriction" instead of "Display values immediately", as it needs to display some more fields instead of data. I activated everything.

I can see that F4 is enabled on the first field (highlighted in green) and when F4 is pressed, I can see the next set of popup. But in that popup, the field for which I have enabled the subsequent search help, is not having F4 help enabled (highlighted in red).

I have created the search help for the field in that, but it is not having the F4 help option available.

Is there any restriction in SAP to show only one F4 help per field hierarchy? Please help me fix this issue .

Hi,

please check that field individually whether the f4 help is available or not.if the f4 help is available then definitely it will give popup here also.

Hi Sree,

If I execute the search help via SE11, it is showing me that F4 arrow is available. But , I need to add it to ME23N screen in the data element AUFNR. So, I appended my searchhelp to std. search help ORDE. When I press F4 in the internal order number (in item level) in ME23N, the first field is coming with F4. When I press F4, I am getting the next field, but without F4 option enabled. I have added another search help to the data element corresponding to the second field.

But it is not showing .

Hi Prasad,

you added search help for 2nd field right so where the 2nd field exist means in which table the 2nd field is availablle. first go to that table, check 2nd field in that table whether search help is available or not while executing that table. In selection screen, it will show the search help for that field.

Thanks & Regards,

I am doing it via Search help exit and not using Tables, as the data corresponding to the fields are stored in another system.

So, I am doing an RFC call to get the data from the destination system and displaying it in ECC.

I have one more question. I have two fields both having F4 enabled and I need to get the list of values for field2 based on the value selected for field1.

I am using Search help exit and NOT using Selection screen .

I tried many FMs , but when I click on the F4 on field2 after I select one value for field1, I am not able to see the value of field1 in SHLP-SELOPT.
I am thinking of storing the selected value for field1 into some memory, once I select the entry for field1.

Is it possible to capture the value of field1, before the value gets transferred to the input screen ?

Your immediate response is much appreciated.

Regards,

Shail.

Hi all,

I addressed this requirement by calling a selection screen (from the Search help exit FM). In that program, I designed the radiobuttons and listboxes for Hierarchical search and return the values to the RECORD_TAB of the search help exit.

The solution provided in the below link helped me.
