Search help exit

jespergk — Tue, 17 Oct 2017 09:48:57 GMT

I have created a custom collective search help that includes two custom elementary search helps.

I need to manipulate with the output data (adding some text description from another table that cannot be mapped in a search view).

First time in the 'DISP' step of the search help exit, RECORD_TAB does not contain the correct data(data is shown correctly in the screen though), however if I search once more, then the data is correct.

This means I cannot manipulate the data correctly the first time which of course is a big problem.

Wrong data first run:

Correct data second run:

Output both times are correct:

Did you use FM F4UT_PARAMETER_VALUE_GET in your exit, then loop at results_tab with some modify and last call F4UT_PARAMETER_RESULTS_PUT.

If no, better paste part of your code or rewrite it.

No I did not, the various blogs i found talked about modifying the RECORD_TAB directly. Seems to work perfectly with those two FM's, thanks a lot!

Don't forget to look at the date of the discussion/thread you read, some answers are often obsolete.
