Hi

Want to implement my own z search help on the field 'Customer Class' ( Business Unit)

current search help

i saw an example on a standard sap screen that the search help were link to a Z Data element

and that linkeded to a z search help , but the table Category was a Structure, not a transparent table

How do I implement my new z search help on a standard SAP screen field : kna1-kukla

my search help created ZSH_BUSINESSUNIT (below)

Will appreciate some advice Please

Thanks

You must do a Modification of Standard, so it ends doing it the same way as when you work on a custom screen field (to be done on the screen because you want to do it only for XD01/XD02).

Basically, ABAP has chosen for this field a view of the values of the domain table (so no option to append your search_help)

  • So either you modify the standard dynpro (so a modification) or of the data element
  • Or you implement an extension point in the SDSD function group

Hi Raymond and Sandra

Thanks very much for the response, much appreciated

We also don't do any changes (modifications) to the standard SAP EVER!!!!

What I want to clarify is , that i can't replace the existing search help of this specific field kna1-kukla with a new search help on XD01, ..... so the answer is NO!!!

Not even using a screen exits, enhancements, BADI's , append structures, ETC.

Sorry i dont even know what a extension point is (may be for the better)

Without modification your only option is to enhance FG SDSD to intercept the call of the domain value Search help.

(Check my answer in this thread, you can simplify my example, as I used some implicit enhancement option to creat a global BAdI with filters by search-help or domain name to simplify this kind of search-help enhancement, mostly for filtering data for obsolete or not allowed values)

If you want only an official way, then check GuiXT or SAP Screen Personas (but in the end, that would be possibly the same technology debt than the modification of standard).
