Using Wildcards in Value Help

[kal_sadaram]

Hi,

I have a input filed ZPERNR and i have assigend PREMN search help on this field.

I am able to search people in the organisation and it all works great until I use wildcards

When I enter SMITH in the last name in the value help it comes back with the list of people whose last name is SMITH

Problem:

When I enter SMITH* in the last name I get no results

In the SQL trace I noticed it changed my SMITH* to smith%

Not sure if there is any sap note to this issue

Any ideas?

Hi Kal,

is the sign/option field selected in the right way? If you enter a value with a wildcard, you have to press enter. The icon [*] must appear.

I have tried this with the country value help everything works well.

Hi Jörg,

Yes the icon (Pattern) does appear after I enter, however I still don't get any results.

The weird thing is the value help works perfectly alright in r/3

Not sure why it is not working for me in the portal.

Thanks for your reply

Kal
