Search help values in internal table

[former_member193460]

Hi Experts,

     i have a requirement to create dropdown by key in an alv cell. I want to get all the search help values and attach it to the value set ( along with the texttable field)

company code and company code description

i used this code:

MOVE 'seacrch help name'  TO  l_shlp-SHLPNAME.
MOVE 'SH'  TO  l_shlp-SHLPTYPE.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_SELECT_VALUES'
  EXPORTING
    shlp                   = l_shlp
    CALL_SHLP_EXIT         = 'X'
TABLES
   RETURN_TAB              = l_retval.

In l_retval, I am getting the company code but i am not getting the text table text (txtmd field) company description. Please let me know how i can achive it.

If there is any class method call which i can use instead of FM, i would prefer.

Thanks & REgards,

The search help has this as the parameter

I will not be able to share the hit list as it contains details about my client, when i execute this searchelp object, i am getting company code as well as the txtmd.

But when i execute through the FM, i get only the company code.

My issue is not solved, i am still not able to get the text (2nd export parameter of the search help) . i am assuming its the l_shlp structure where i am populating only searchhelp name and type currently. Do i need to populate some thing more to get the text ?

Hi Tashi,

Please try the below code

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_GET_SHLP_DESCR'
       EXPORTING
            shlpname = 'ZSH_HELP_NAME' "Custom Search help
       IMPORTING
            shlp     = ls_shlp.

Then call 'F4IF_SELECT_VALUES' function module.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_SELECT_VALUES'
  EXPORTING
    shlp                   = ls_shlp
    CALL_SHLP_EXIT         = 'X'
TABLES
   RETURN_TAB              = lt_retval

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Rama

Hi Rama,

     I had tried that already, for some strange reason if i get the SH decription with the FM and then use that in the 'F4IF_SELECT_VALUES', i dont get any records (not even company code).

if i manually fill the description structure ,

MOVE 'seacrch help name'  TO  l_shlp-SHLPNAME.

MOVE 'SH'  TO  l_shlp-SHLPTYPE

i get the records, but it fill only the company code not the description

Hi Tashi,

Please share the snap shot of your search help with parameters. Also share the hit list of search help.

Hi Tashi,

You have to choose a search help which gives you the company code & description as export parameters.

Then you will be able to get the description along with company code in your internal table l_retval.

Loop over l_retval entries and construct the records as you wish.
