Hi,

Without using matchcode ,help view ,check table , domain how to create the search help

[Former Member]

yes you can.. use the FM

Hi Sourav,

You can create a search help programmatically using AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE REQUEST.

If a field in an executable program is defined with reference to an ABAP Dictionary field for which possible entries help is defined, the values from the ABAP Dictionary help are automatically displayed when the user calls the F4 help for that field (See Search Help for Parameters). To create possible values help for input fields that have no Dictionary reference, or to override the help normally linked to the field, you can create an event block for the event

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR <field>

The event is triggered when the user calls the F4 help for the field <field>. If no corresponding event block has been defined, the possible values help from the ABAP Dictionary is displayed, or none at all if the field has no Dictionary reference. If a corresponding event block exists, it takes precedence over the default possible values help mechanism. It is then up to the programmer to ensure that an appropriate list of values is displayed, and that the user can choose a value from it.

You cannot declare the event block AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST for input fields on the selection screen that are declared within a logical database. You cannot override the possible values help mechanism of a logical database within the program. You can define separate help within the logical database program using the VALUE-REQUEST option in the PARAMETERS and SELECT-OPTIONS statements.

Example

REPORT SELECTION_SCREEN_F4_DEMO.

PARAMETERS: P_CARR_1 TYPE SPFLI-CARRID,
            P_CARR_2 TYPE SPFLI-CARRID.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_CARR_2.

  CALL SCREEN 100 STARTING AT 10 5
                  ENDING   AT 50 10.

MODULE VALUE_LIST OUTPUT.

  SUPPRESS DIALOG.
  LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING AND RETURN TO SCREEN 0.
  SET PF-STATUS SPACE.
  NEW-PAGE NO-TITLE.

  WRITE 'Star Alliance' COLOR COL_HEADING.
  ULINE.

  P_CARR_2 = 'AC '.
  WRITE: / P_CARR_2 COLOR COL_KEY, 'Air Canada'.
  HIDE P_CARR_2.

  P_CARR_2 = 'LH '.
  WRITE: / P_CARR_2 COLOR COL_KEY, 'Lufthansa'.
  HIDE P_CARR_2.

  P_CARR_2 = 'SAS'.
  WRITE: / P_CARR_2 COLOR COL_KEY, 'SAS'.
  HIDE P_CARR_2.

  P_CARR_2 = 'THA'.
4  WRITE: / P_CARR_2 COLOR COL_KEY, 'Thai International'.
  HIDE P_CARR_2.

  P_CARR_2 = 'UA '.
  WRITE: / P_CARR_2 COLOR COL_KEY, 'United Airlines'.
  HIDE P_CARR_2.

  CLEAR P_CARR_2.

ENDMODULE.

AT LINE-SELECTION.

  CHECK NOT P_CARR_2 IS INITIAL.
  LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.

This program defines a selection screen with two parameters, both of which refer to the column CARRID in the database table SPFLI. The possible entries help from the ABAP Dictionary is used for P_CARR_1, and a separate possible entries help is programmed for P_CARR_2. Screen 100 is used for the possible entries help. The dialog module VALUE_LIST is started in its PBO event. The actual screen mask is not used, and there are no dialog modules used in the PAI.

PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.

MODULE VALUE_LIST.

PROCESS AFTER INPUT.

The dialog module VALUE_LIST suppresses the dialog of screen 100 and switches to list processing. The list contains values for the parameter P_CARR_2. These values are also placed in the HIDE area. When the user selects a line from the value list, the AT LINE-SELECTION event is triggered, and the selected value is transferred from the HIDE area into the field P_CARR_2. If the user selects a valid line, the system switches directly from the event block AT LINE-SELECTION back to the selection screen, and fills the corresponding input field.
