Wild Characters

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have scenario, where there will be query from portal to SAP system.

There is text box in the portal for entering Vendor name.

From Portal the query goes to R/3 system and gives the details about a particular vendor.

The problem here is:

In the portal I would like to use <b>Wild Characters</b>, let's say <b>B*</b>, and it should give all the vendors starting with B.

But I came to know that <b>wildchar *</b> is not supported by SAP.

Can anyone give some information reg this?

Hi Naveen,

Are you planning on using some RFC function module on the R/3 system to achieve this.....?The functionality of the kind of search needs to implemented by the RFC FM on the R/3 side.....

you can use the FM BAPI_VENDOR_FIND...this one does gives you the option of searching for vendors with wild characters...check the FM documentation for details....

Thanks,

Renjith

Hi,

>>>But I came to know that wildchar * is not supported by SAP

if you go to any transaction

you can use B* to select all objects starting with B

like SE38 and Z* to select all customer reports
