Search Help - Data entry

Former Member — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 13:20:04 GMT

Hi,

Looking at various SAP transaction PA20 for example, entering a value in the action infotype field Employment for example allows the selection of the foreign key text and writen to the database is the value associated with the text e.g the text active is on the screen, but the value 01 is written to the database.

I am trying to achieve a similar think in my ALV where I present the text but store the value associated with the text. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

James.

Hi,

you need to write it Programetically,

When the value is 01 then you need to get the text for 01 value then insert the text into database table

Thanks Sudheer,

It's the other way around I wnat to display the text and write the value 01 to the database. Thought there may be a way of doing this via the search help as there is a foreign key relationship. I'll keep digging and if I can'tmake progress I'll go the programatic approach.

Thanks,

James.

Hi James,

I think you need to handle this in code only.
