How to enable Auto Complete option in SAP

[Former Member]

Hello Guru,

i want to enable my auto complete option in my system so as to get the past transaction or any codes quickly by pressing SPACEBAR, all other systems have this feature, they just by pressing spacebar get their TCodes or any inputs instead of typing the whole.

i also tried by getting into customizing layout in SAP system and turned on its history, but still its not coming. what may be the reason???.

all my colleagues have this feature in their system. and even after changing their setting its coming

pls revert asap, as i will not waste my time in writing the whole Tcodes.

I tried many suggested solutions mentioned here and in different articles until I came up today with a solution,,

1. enabling history:

  - go to SAP login

  - customize local layout (Alt+F12) [the colored screen icon]

  - options

  - local data

  - history

  - change history status to OFF > apply then again ON > apply

2. Clear History

  - in the same location where you are just click "Clear History" button

3. Delete old History data:

  - in the same location also, go to the input history path and copy it

  - go the browser and paste the path

  - you will find an MDB file usually named "SAPHistoryXXXXX"

  - delete this file

  - close all open windows including SAP GUI

  - run SAP and login, problem should be resolved
