Hello All ,
I have created a search help which fetches a data from a 'Z' table . Its working but only problem is comparison that takes place is case sensitive . So if I enter values in lower case then it will not fetch any value .
Is there any way to solve this problem ???
Any inputs ??
Thanks ,

Sonu,
Looks like your data element on which search happens can accept only UPPER CASE, that is why search is failing. Try to take out that check box in the DATA ELEMENT SE11.

Hi,
if your Domain is Custom one then you need to check the checkbox <b>Lowercase</b> in the Domain <b>Definition</b> tab .
if you check that it will allow both upper and lowercase combination.
this is what help says about that..
Lowercase letters allowed/not allowed
If this flag is set, upper case and lower case are distinguished when you enter values with screen masks.
Otherwise all the letters entered will be converted to upper case when you enter values with a screen mask.
This mechansim is in effect for all the fields referring to this domain.

Hi Sonu,
you have 2 ways to solve this problem
1) If you are able control data in Z-table, use translate to Upper case while you are storing data into Z-table.
2) Fetch whatever data you have in Z-table and traslate problem text field into Uppercase ( you can use search help exit for manipulating the data .
)
Reward points if you think it is helpfull answer.

I DONT THINK THERE IS ANY PROBLEM IN YOUR SEARCH HELP,YOU CHECK WITH YOUR LOGIC WHERE YOU R PASSING THE DATA INTO THE SEARCH HELP.I DONT THINK THERE IS ANY RESTRICATIION IN THE SEARCH HELP FOR UPPER CASE OR THE LOWER CASE.

Hi All ,
Thanks for all your inputs .

I have just created a search help no restriction on the values . How to add those restriction .
Someone discussed search exit , anyone knows about it ??
