Adding a drop down help to a screen field

Former Member — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:34:09 GMT

I need to add a drop down help to the "Our reference" field (MEPOCOMM-UNSEZ) in screens ME21N, ME22N, ME23N. Is there a way to do this without changing the standard? Can I use a field exit, maybe with 'on-value-request'? We are at release 6.0 and I understand field exits are no longer supported. Is there an alternative?

Hello Friend,

I do not think it can be handled by writing only code!

Because it requires to change one screen element from Input Text to Drop Down

and for that you need to change the screen!

after that you have to write some code in the PBO of the screen to give values in the drop down...

Thanks

Thanks fellas. Unfortunately it looks to me like Krishnendu is right and it can only be handled by changing the standard.
