Indicate parameters as export if you want them to be passed back to the screen from the search help.

Hi,

What you need do to get this functionality is <b>ASSIGN THE SEARCH HELP AT THE TABLE LEVEL.</b>

1)Goto SE11, open Zcustomer table.

2) And there goto the tab "Fields"

3) Place your cursor on which you want this Search help.

4) Click on the button "Search Help".

5) Do parameter mapping between Search help parameters and table fields.

Then use this Table to create your screen fields.(Get from Dictionary option in Screen painter).

Hi,

As I have already mentioned you can export to multiple fields on the screen only when you Assign the search help to a table/Structure and use that table to create the screen fields.

So you need to remove the Search help assignment at the screen level and instead make the search help assignment at the Table level and then use these table fields to make the screen fields. Then this will automatically give the search help and also transfer data to more than one field.

Hi,

When creating your screen, there is an option "Get From Dictionary" in SE51, that is Screen painter.

Else you can use the option F6 is Se51.

So Goto screen painter Press F6, there for the table field give your ZCUSTOMER table name. And select the fields you want on your screen.

In your TOP includes create a statements

TABLES: zcustomer.

Hi Tarun..

to return the Values of all the Fields Enable the EXP (EXPORT) Flag for all the Search help fields in DDIC.

In the Screen Painter

Dont place this field manullay.

Instead use F6 (Dictionary fields) to Place the Table field on the Screen.

Since this field is already linked to Seach help you need not to assign again.
