Finding SEARCH Help.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

How to find search help attached with any field on the screen. Or how many ways we can attache search help?

Search help can be

- explicitly attached to a field in dynpro

- from database - foreign or domain values

Alternative

- Search help can be linked programmatically in PAI

<i>Calendar and clock help

If no other input help has been defined for a field with type DATS or TIMS, the calendar or clock help is displayed.

Domain fixed values

If a field has no check table or search help, any fixed values of the underlying domain are used.

Search help of the data element

Search helps from the ABAP Dictionary can be attached to a data element. If a field has no check table or search help of its own, the system uses the search help assigned to the underlying data element.

Check table

If the check table has no text table and no search help of its own, and a field has no search help of its own, the contents of the key fields of the check table are used as input help.

Check table with text table

You can define a text table for a table. If the check table for a field has a text table defined for it, the input help displays both the key fields from the check table and the corresponding text from the text table in the user’s logon language.

Check table with search help

Search helps can be attached to the check table of a field. The search help is displayed with the values from the check table. However, it allows you to transfer the values of more than one parameter.

Search help for a field

Search helps can also be directly attached to a field of a structure or a database table. This has the highest priority, and is always displayed for input help. When you attach the search help, you should therefore ensure that it only offers values that are also in the check table, otherwise errors may occur in the automatic input checks.</i>

Hi,

Answer Given in above post is perfact, On top of that let me simplify.

1. See details of the Particular field in Screen Painter, you will see a Search Help Section in It.

2. YOu can find search help in Data Element or at Domain Level also.

3. Value range in Domain works as Possible values many time.
