Hi

You have to create an elementary search help based on CLASS and have to attach to the std cumulative search help of material MAT1 .

1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).

2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.

3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.

4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.

5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.

6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.

CREATION:

Go to SE11 Tcode

select search help

give the 'z' search help name and create

select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'

dialog module 'display value immediately'.

add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.

where left position when displaying and spos = search position

and then save and activate ..

Search Help Exits:

see the sample code for F4 help values

See the following ex:

TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_MBLNR,

MBLNR LIKE MKPF-MBLNR,

END OF TY_MBLNR.

DATA: IT_MBLNR TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_MBLNR WITH HEADER LINE.

data: it_ret like ddshretval occurs 0 with header line.

At selection-screen on value-request for s_mat-low.

Select MBLNR from mkpf into table it_mblnr.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

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

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

ENDIF.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

read table it_ret index 1.

move it_ret-fieldval to S_mat-low.

ENDIF.

Go through the test program.

REPORT Ztest_HELP .

UP TO 10 ROWS.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING
