Reg : Search Help

[karthik_snair]

Hi Team,

I have a new requirement.

We have standard search help for Code Group (QPCT-CODEGRUPPE) and Code (QPCT-CODE).

Presently when I press F4 on these fiels , it displays all the codes that even though its unnecessary.

Now the requirement is , I have the Catalog value.Now with this value I need to filter the F4 with the Catalog so that user will get only the relevant one.

So the question is how do I pass this filter value to the standard search help?

Is that possible or do I need to separate code for F4 in each field.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi Karthik,

I think it's not possible to validate standard search help. So that my suggestion is create custom search help then u can do ur validation based on requirement.

Hope it'll help's u.

Hi Karthik,

You cannot modify the stadard search help . Other workarond would be, copy the standard into Z-search help and write search help exit ( as search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several events during the F4 process.) and do modifications as per your requirement.

For more information,refer FM documentation F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE (Example for a search help exit).

Thanks

If you declare the selection screen fields with proper reference, SAP will take care of restricting the values automatically.

For Eg Declare the parameters as:

parameter:p_cat  type qpct-katalogart,
           p_code type qpct-codegruppe.

Now, if you execute the program and do an F4 on P_CODE field, then it will show all the possible values. Close the popup window and then put valid value in P_CAT field. If you do an F4 on P_CODE field again, then it will restrict the code group values automatically.

Thanks,
