Parameter ID on Search Help

Former Member — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 13:41:45 GMT

Hello Experts,

I have set a parameter id for default value on an import field. on a search help. But while executing the search help, the default value is not passed into the selection screen of search help. Could anyone tell me, what I could be doing wrong.

Thank you,

Sorab.

Sap help


The parameter is assigned the default value in the input help process in the following cases:
If the parameter is not an import parameter. 
If nothing was assigned to the parameter in the search help attachment with which the search help was attached to the screen field. 
If a field that does not exist in either the screen or the flow logic in the input help process was assigned to the parameter in the search help attachment. 
If a search help is included in a collective search help and the parameter is not linked to any parameter of this collective search help.

Uncheck the Import parameter checkbox

make sure that the memory id has some value assigned to it . execute it once with some value and again check it second time

Yes, Keshav. That took care of it. The import parameter shouldn't be checked, if we want the field to import the default value.

Thanks much,

Sorab.

Spoke too soon. I am sorry. I am opening this thread back.

Actually while trying out all the possibilities, I had set parameter id in the user profile, which is the value I saw after unclicking the import parameter.

I am back to where I was. I am not able to see the value on the selection when the default value on search help is set to parameter id.

Can anyone help.

Thanks,

Sorab

1)Make sure that the parameter id has any value for it. execute it once providing some value . come back then again execute it.

Hi Keshav,

Thanks for getting back.

Yes, on the screen, the fields I am referring to in the search help ( as parameter id) , do have values, but when I look at the search help, they don't show up. Strange!!

In search help when you execute it will show one popup screen . there the parameter id will not be shown. You have to hit enter again. in the next screen it will be shown.

In the next screen, the whole list shows up.

On the selection screen, I wanted the default value to be captured ( course from the parameter id ) and then when I press enter, should display the selected list.

Has anyone worked with search help before? Please tell me, if the parameter id as the default value on the search help has worked for you.

Thanks,

Sorab
