Hi

Experts

Do anyone have worked upon creating a custom search help field in Personas 3.0 sp01?\

I read an article "Using Search Helps - SAP Imagineering - SCN Wiki" that we can create a search "without finding a suitable DDIC reference" by creating z structure.

Do anyone have worked upon this or is there any other methd to include the standard search help?

For reference please refer PA30 transaction , 0208 infotype and "tax area" code field. I want the similar search help for custom field.

It is quite urgent need a help urgently!!!!

Thanks Tamas!!

I have already done that but it is showing a different kind of search help not the one we observed in Standard Sap Screen.

And in above link it is mentioned (in the second part of article) that we can create a z structure and follow certain steps which could help us to get the required search help.

The search help attached to that field is called TAXAR_W. As it turns out, the assignment happens in the screen definition as a field property and not via the Data Dictionary, so whitelisting the field P0208-WTART will therefore show a different search help than what you see in the transaction.

It appears the search help TAXAR_W is not referenced by any DDIC table- or structure field. Therefore, since you are on Personas 3.0 SP01, you have to substitute the SP02 search help INCLUDE feature by doing the following:

  • define a new Z data type (structure), like ZPERSONAS_SEARCHHELP in SE11
  • add a new component to this structure (for instance, TAXAREA) referencing data element WTART
  • double-click the new component in the structure overview and manually assign the search help TAXAR_W
  • activate this new structure

Then you can whitelist table ZPERSONAS_SEARCHHELP and field TAXAREA and use it in your flavor. The result should now match the tax area search help in PA30.

If you need to handle similar scenarios in the future, you can simply enhance the same structure with new fields and link the necessary search help this way.
