HI,

NO it is not possible.

Because search help works on the possible values of a fields to which the search help is attached.

For detail concept on SEARCH HELP read

No it is not possible.

the hirearchy of search help call is first it will check for screen field,whether any search help is associated to it thru POH, then it checks for table fields,check table,dataelement, then domain...

Here you will first fill the table ***it_mara** as per your requirements by the \

Select Query and then you will take the values for Search Help from the same table( it_mara).

Let me know if you have any doubts.

Hi ,

actually search help works on the values of a fields, so it is not possible to call the popup window for search help directly.

Hi shumin,

It is not possible to call the popup window for search help directly, because when we create srch help

we need to give the name of selection method and srch help parameter, without that u cann't create search help.

check this link u will get more info. :

Hi,

you can create a screen where you can insert the data related to the search help using some table control and you can call that screen by restricting the size of the screen

Hello All,

Thank you very much for your help, I think we can use FM 'F4IF_START_VALUE_REQUEST' to get the popup...

hi,

Yes, it is possible to call the popup window for search help directly.

there are number of function modules to add search help functionality.

you can use the following code :

data : it_ret_f4 type table of ddshretval,

wa_ret_f4 like line of it_ret_f4.

TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_an_no,

an_no TYPE zprod_val-an_no,

vbeln TYPE zprod_val-vbeln,

END OF ty_an_no.

DATA : it_an_no TYPE TABLE OF ty_an_no,

wa_an_no LIKE LINE OF it_an_no.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN on VALUE-REQUEST FOR an_no-low.

clear it_ret_f4.

perform f4_number.

read table it_ret_f4 into wa_ret_f4 index 1.

if sy-subrc = 0.

an_no-low = wa_ret_f4-fieldval.

endif.

form f4_number .

select an_no

vbeln FROM zprod_val INTO TABLE it_an_no.

sort it_an_no ASCENDING.

delete ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM it_an_no COMPARING an_no.
