How to suppress F4 help in an ALV grid field?

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I have attached a searchhelp to a custom data element. If I then use a field referring to this data element in an ALV grid, this search help is alway activated for that field.

Is there any way to suppress this (i.e. no search help in some ALV grids for this field)?

Thanks and regards,

Hi A. Esposito,

I also faced the same problem like u.

You assigned search help to one customer data element and where ever u used that data element with field the f4 help is coming.

In order to supress this u need to assign the search help for the field not to data element.

you created one search help and assigned to a data element in further characteristics tab.

So u remove that at data element leval and add that search help in the field level.

to add at field level Go to SE11 and enter table name and click that particular field u want and then click on search help button provided there and give ur search help name.

Please refer the below link to assign a search help at field level

What is the type of the data element that you are using ? if you can give the type directly for your output table type, obviously field help will not be coming.

Otherwise if u still want to use the dataelement.. try changing the fieldcatalog for that particular field.

LVC_S_FCAT you can refer this structure and CHECKTABLE , F4AVAILABL fields are available. Try passing space to this.

Thank you all for your suggestions!

We have found a solution whereby, after the field catalogue of the ALV has been created (with FM LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE), we clear the field REF_TABLE of the field concerned. This causes the search help to be suppressed.

Change it directly in your field catalog to disable your F4 Help on your ALV Grid.
It works for me:

'' TO ls_fcat-f4availabl,
'' TO ls_fcat-checktable,
'' TO ls_fcat-ref_field.
