How to call a Search help in a function module?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am a novice to ABAP, I am working on search helps. My requirement is to call a search help in a function module.

Can anyone please throw some light on this.

Any inputs will be helpful.

Thanks,

Whats your requirement. Search helps are used in fields. calling search helps, what do u mean by that ?

Hi,

I am afraid u can't attach a search help to any importing parameters in the Function Module.

U can try looking at some std FM u shall not see any one providing search helps....

but i if u want to add a search help to a field other than in FM than there r FM'S for that ....

Hi,

for search help:
*internal table made to populate the value of werks when pressing f4
DATA: BEGIN OF IT_FINAL OCCURS 0,
      WERKS TYPE MARC-WERKS,
      END OF IT_FINAL.

data: IT_RETURN LIKE DDSHRETVAL OCCURS 0 WITH header line.

parameters: p_werks(10) type c.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_werks.

  select  werks from marc
  into table IT_FINAL.

  CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
*   DDIC_STRUCTURE         = ' '
      RETFIELD               = 'WERKS'   "field of internal table
     VALUE_ORG              = 'S'
    TABLES
      VALUE_TAB              = IT_FINAL
*   FIELD_TAB              =
     RETURN_TAB             = IT_RETURN
            .
*---now put your logic to use dat into your Fun Mod

yes you can do that..

in side the source code ..

write the select statement according to requirement and pass the internal table to below function moduel and return field to yor help field..

call the below fm inside the function module..

'POPUP_WITH_TABLE_DISPLAY' or 'REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT'

see the sample code...

FUNCTION Z_MFG_PLANTS_F4 .

"----

---

"*"Local Interface:

" IMPORTING

" REFERENCE(W_WERKS) TYPE WERKS OPTIONAL

" IMPORTING

" REFERENCE(W_MATNR) TYPE MANTR OPTIONAL

"----

---

• Alv popup display

DATA : gc_selfield TYPE slis_selfield,

gt_fieldcat_drd TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv WITH HEADER LINE.

p_werks = W_WERKS.

data : begin of t_marc occurs 0,

werks type werks,

matnr type matnr,

end of t_marc

select matnr werks from marc into table t_marc where werks = p_werks.

IF t_disp[] IS NOT INITIAL.

gt_fieldcat_drd-seltext_m = 'Material'.

gt_fieldcat_drd-fieldname = 'MATNR'.

APPEND gt_fieldcat_drd.

CLEAR : gt_fieldcat_drd.

gt_fieldcat_drd-seltext_m = 'WERKS'.

gt_fieldcat_drd-fieldname = ''WERKS'.

APPEND gt_fieldcat_drd.

CLEAR : gt_fieldcat_drd.

• Allow the user to select the required plant

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT'

EXPORTING

i_title = 'Material Selection for Plant'

i_selection = 'X'

i_screen_start_column = 5

i_screen_start_line = 5

i_screen_end_column = 70

i_screen_end_line = 20

i_tabname = 'T_MARC'

it_fieldcat = gt_fieldcat_drd[]

IMPORTING

es_selfield = gc_selfield

TABLES

t_outtab = t_MARC

EXCEPTIONS

program_error = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc 0.

ENDIF.

READ TABLE t_MARC INDEX gc_selfield-tabindex.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

w_matnr = t_matnr-matnr.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

ENDFUNCTION.

Try the following FM [F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/dosearchsite.action?searchQuery.queryString=F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST&searchQuery.spaceKey=conf_global].

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
  EXPORTING
    tabname                   =
    fieldname                 =
*   SEARCHHELP                = ' ' < search help here
*   SHLPPARAM                 = ' '
*   DYNPPROG                  = ' '
*   DYNPNR                    = ' '
*   DYNPROFIELD               = ' '
*   STEPL                     = 0
*   VALUE                     = ' '
*   MULTIPLE_CHOICE           = ' '
*   DISPLAY                   = ' '
*   SUPPRESS_RECORDLIST       = ' '
*   CALLBACK_PROGRAM          = ' '
*   CALLBACK_FORM             = ' '
* TABLES
*   RETURN_TAB                =
* EXCEPTIONS
*   FIELD_NOT_FOUND           = 1
*   NO_HELP_FOR_FIELD         = 2
*   INCONSISTENT_HELP         = 3
*   NO_VALUES_FOUND           = 4
*   OTHERS                    = 5

Hi Amita,

Try these function modules DDIF_SHLP_GET and 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'.

Sample Code:

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR S_CLASS-HIGH.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

TABNAME = 'CABN'

FIELDNAME = 'ATNAM'

SEARCHHELP = 'SEARCH HELP NAME '

• SHLPPARAM = ' '

DYNPPROG = SY-CPROG

DYNPNR = SY-DYNNR

DYNPROFIELD = 'ATNAM'

• STEPL = 0

• VALUE = ' '

• MULTIPLE_CHOICE = ' '

• DISPLAY = ' '

• SUPPRESS_RECORDLIST = ' '

• CALLBACK_PROGRAM = ' '

• CALLBACK_FORM = ' '

• TABLES

• RETURN_TAB =

• EXCEPTIONS

• FIELD_NOT_FOUND = 1

• NO_HELP_FOR_FIELD = 2

• INCONSISTENT_HELP = 3

• NO_VALUES_FOUND = 4

• OTHERS = 5

.

IF SY-SUBRC 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Hope, it would help you.
