How to pass attributes of different context node of different component in Custom Search Helps

[parth318]

My req is to provide the search help to the custom AET field in the component BT112H_SC, BT112H_SC\Items and Context node ADMINI. The result of the search help must be prefiltered on the basis of the Sales organization (SALES_ORG_SHORT) which is the attribute of the component BTOrgset. 

I suppose, to meet the req I have to get the value of Sales org in the GET_V method of the AET field and must pass it to the search help where in Search help exit function i should filter the result.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Using BOL relations, I am trying to get value of sales org in GET_V of the AET field. But I dont know how to pass it in the Search help so that I can further filter the result in the exit fm. 

Please guide me on this and also suggest if there is any other better approach/solution.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for your reply...

I am looking for the search help issue..

Let me try to explain it again..

I am having

component      A (BT112h_SC)

view                Items

context node   1 (BTADMINI)

attribute           ZXXX (Custom AET field) 

I am implementing the F4 help functionality in GET_V of ZXXX.

Now I have another

component    B(BTOrgSet)

view               Details

context node     2 (BTOrgSet)

attribute          SALES_ORG_SHORT

After fetching the values of Sales org in the local variable lv_sales_org of GET_V of ZXXX successfully, i am implementing the custom search help for ZXXX

As we implement the search help for a field we write..

         ls_map-context_attr   = 'STRUCT.ZXXX'          "'context_attr name'.

         ls_map-f4_attr        = 'f4 parameter name'.

         APPEND ls_map TO:  lt_inmap, lt_outmap.

Now I want to pass the values of the SALES_ORG_SHORT to the parameter of the search help implemented here.

     ls_map-context_attr = 'STRUCT.ZXXX'      " context_attr name of comp A

     ls_map-f4_attr          = 'SALES_ORG'

     Append ls_map to lt_inmap.

Is this correct method to do ??? How do we pass the values stored in the local var lv_sales_org to the search help parameter SALES_ORG...?

Hi Parth,

The procedure you have chosen is the correct one. Just one modification needed.

As you have used different view  Details of context node BTOrgSet, you cannot use it to create a search help in items view . Now as you fetched lv_sales_org value you can pass it as the context_attr.

   ls_map-context_attr =  '\''ABC\'''.   

     ls_map-f4_attr          = 'SALES_ORG'

     Append ls_map to lt_inmap.

Here ABC is a constant , try to fill the lv_sales_org with appending \ and pass it as above( '\''lv_sales_org''').

Hi Nitish,

Thanks for your reply...

I want to check whether the value is passed to the SALES_ORG or not.

Can you guide how to access the value of the Sales_org in the custom Search Help exit FM..

Thanks in advance

Hi Parth,

you need not use a help exit FM inside a search help. You can mark the field as importing so that it will receive the mapped value from Get_v_xx method and it will automatically filter the result based on it.

Hi Nithish,

I am implementing standard search help exit FM 'COM_F4_PR_SHLP_EXIT' (dnt remember the exact name) in my custom search help exit FM.

I need to filter the standard exit FM result on basis of value of 'lv_org _sales'.

So want to know how we can access the lv_sales_org value in exit FM....

Parth,

If you are using a standard search help exit in your custom search help , then first identify in the standard whether there is any logic to get the result based on SALES_ORG field , Then only it can filter the value in standard help exit  ( by mapping the value to the field in custom search help as described in previous posts ) .

       If there is no logic , then I would suggest you to make a z copy of the standard and include the logic there .You can check the value in changing parameter of search help exit shlp-selopt . Place the logic accordingly to filter or fetch the records and append it in record_tab

Nithish,

I already checked and logic for my req is missing... So as I said in previous post

"I am implementing standard search help exit FM 'COM_F4_PR_SHLP_EXIT' (dnt remember the exact name) in my custom search help exit FM."

I am using the z search help exit in my search help. In source code I am calling standard search help and getting the result.. Now I want to filter this standard result on the basis of lv_sales_org value..

Actually I am confused, how to access the value of  lv_sales_org in source code of my z exit fm...

whether to fetch the shlp,shlp_tab,record_tab..

Exactly where i am getting values in the FM from the search help and exactly where FM gives result to the search help..

Parth,

I guess you didn't read my previous post properly.

You can check the value in changing parameter of search help exit shlp-selopt . Place the logic accordingly to filter or fetch the records and append it in record_tab.

You can debug it and check where the values are populated and how to modify them.

Hi Nithish,

Thanks for ur reply...

consider lv_sales_org  = XYZ01

I tried ur logic for passing the value of sales_org in the search help

   ls_map-context_attr =  '\''lv_sales_org\'''.  

     ls_map-f4_attr          = 'SALES_ORG'

     Append ls_map to lt_inmap.

During debugging,i am getting the following in selopt-low

SALES_ORG = lv_sales_org   not XYZ01.

where as I want SALES-ORG = XYZ01....

can you please help me on this..

Hi Parth,

You should not directly pass the variable ,  in fact the value should be passed in  ls_map-context_attr such that at the end while passing  it should look like '\''XYZ01\''' ( All are single inverted commas, also observe \ after the value)

So you should take some string variable lv_string.

concatenate '\'''   lv_sales_org  '\''' into lv_string.

ls_map-context_attr =  lv_string . (  '\''XYZ01\'''  which will be parsed as  \'ZYZ01\' ).
