Hi

There are several ways to do that.

Anayway if you're speaking about a dynpro you can assign it in the attribute of that field by screen-painter (trx Se51):

do doubleclick on your field and assign the help in the Dictionary tab.

If you're speaking about selection-screen you shoult use the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST and here use the fm F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST

Hi Prashanth,

Attaching a search help to a screen field is easy..

In screen Painter,double click on the field,

In the search help section, give the search help name.

Done...

Hi Prashant

there are many ways to assign search help to a field

you can assign search help to the data element of that field in the dictionary.. so that in all the fields refering to that data element this help will be displayed..

or you can directly assign it in the sceen painter by double clicking the field..

but the disadvantge of this is.. it is not reusable

Others have already filled in with inputs however, if you have a parameter or select-option and you want to add a search help to it, (assuming you have already created the search help) use this addtion while declaring parameter/Select-option

PARAMETER p_parameter [TYPE/LIKE] MATCHCODE ID <Search help name>

- insert the event PROCESS ON-VALUE-REQUEST in the program and add a field statement for the field that should trigger the F4 help. In the mdoule called from <b>PROCESS ON-VALUE-REQUEST</b>, call function module

F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST.

<b>Samples code:</b>

PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.

FIELD it_zsd00003-prctr MODULE f4_help_for_pctr.

MODULE f4_help_for_pctr INPUT.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

tabname = 'ZSD00003'

fieldname = 'PRCTR'

• SEARCHHELP = ' '

• SHLPPARAM = ' '

dynpprog = 'ZSD00002_BRUGERKONV_LISTE'

dynpnr = '0100'

dynprofield = 'IT_ZSD00003-PRCTR'

• STEPL = 0

value = '50*'

• MULTIPLE_CHOICE = ' '

• DISPLAY = ' '

• SUPPRESS_RECORDLIST = ' '

• CALLBACK_PROGRAM = ' '

• CALLBACK_FORM = ' '

• TABLES

• RETURN_TAB =

• EXCEPTIONS

• FIELD_NOT_FOUND = 1

• NO_HELP_FOR_FIELD = 2

• INCONSISTENT_HELP = 3

• NO_VALUES_FOUND = 4

• OTHERS = 5

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

There is <b>on more example with code</b> , just copy and paste the code and design the screen and you will be able to find ur search help.
