Hello,

From the import parameters, you get the input to this search help exit.

With the export parameters, the data is outputted from the search help exit.

Hi Prabu,

When an input help is called, few entries are there in the input template, from which the help was called, now

Import Parameters: Parameters with which the information on the input template taken to the help

process.

Export Parameters: These are the Parameters which take the value from the hit list (which is the output

of help) to the input template

Do tell if you want further clarification.

Regards,

Sana.

Hi,

In simple terms,

Import - Whatever possible values for the particular field is fetched and is made ready for display.

Export- Whenever the help button is pressed, the possible values will be exported to the pop up window.

Hope this clarifies you.

Hi Prabu,

if the parameter is an export parameter, Values can be returned from the hit list to the screen.

The fields of the screen in which the contents of the export parameter are returned are defined by the search help attachment.

if the parameter is an import parameter,Context information from the screen can be copied to the help process with this parameter. Where an import parameter gets its values from is defined when the search help is attached to the corresponding field of the screen.

Hi Prabhu,

When you define a parameter of a search help, you must also define whether it should be used to copy data to the Input help( Import Parameter) or whether to return data from the Input help(Export Parameter).
