Fixed values and value table

former_member408560 — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 06:21:33 GMT

Hello All,

I have created a structure with a field referring to a domain which has both fixed values and value table. If the field is used as a parameter in a program and if F4 help is pressed, it gives the values from value table. But if the same field is used as a screen field, the fixed values are displayed for F4 help.

Kindly help in understanding this concept : when both fixed values and value table are present in a domain, which will take the priority?

Regards,

Krithika

Hi,

Check this from the documentation..

if a check table and fixed values are defined for a table field, only

values that exist in both the check table and in the fixed values can be

entered in the field.

Thanks,

Naren

Hi,

The following list shows, in ascending order of priority, the input help that is used:

...

1. Calendar and clock help

If no other input help has been defined for a field with type DATS or TIMS, the calendar or clock help is displayed.

2. Domain fixed values

If a field has no check table or search help, any fixed values of the underlying domain are used.

3. Search help of the data element

Search helps from the ABAP Dictionary can be attached to a data element. If a field has no check table or search help of its own, the system uses the search help assigned to the underlying data element.

4. Check table

If the check table has no text table and no search help of its own, and a field has no search help of its own, the contents of the key fields of the check table are used as input help.

5. Check table with text table

You can define a text table for a table. If the check table for a field has a text table defined for it, the input help displays both the key fields from the check table and the corresponding text from the text table in the user’s logon language.

6. Check table with search help

Search helps can be attached to the check table of a field. The search help is displayed with the values from the check table. However, it allows you to transfer the values of more than one parameter.

7. Search help for a field

Search helps can also be directly attached to a field of a structure or a database table. This has the highest priority, and is always displayed for input help. When you attach the search help, you should therefore ensure that it only offers values that are also in the check table, otherwise errors may occur in the automatic input checks.
