Hi,

The dialog type of an elementary search help defines how the hit list is displayed when the input help is called.

The following dialog types are possible:

Immediate value display: The hit list is immediately displayed when the input help is called. This is only meaningful if the hit list usually only contains a few entries.

Complex dialog with value restriction: The dialog window for restricting values is offered immediately. Choose this option if the list of possible entries is usually very large. If the user limits the amount of data to be processed, the hit list will become more comprehensible and the system load during value selection will be reduced.

Dialog depending on number of values: If the hit list contains less than 100 entries, it is displayed immediately. If the hit list contains more than 100 entries, the dialog box for restricting values is displayed.

Reward if helpful.

Dialog type:: Determines whether the user is presented with a selection screen before the hit list is displayed. Possible values are

– Dialog depends on set of values. If there are more than 100 hits, a selection screen is displayed. Otherwise, the hit list is displayed immediately.

- Display values immediately. The values are directly displayed.

– Dialog with value restriction. A selection screen is always displayed.

Hot key: allows user to type a shortcut into the field to bypass selection of elementary search help.

Search help exit: - specify the name of a function module to be called during the search help process (more later).

Selection method: name of table or view where the data is stored.

Text table: Filled in by system, if a text table is attached to the selection method.

SPOS: The position of the field as it appears in the selection screen.

SDIS: Causes the field to be “display only” in the selection screen.

Data element: Sets the attributes of the search help parameter. Normally filled in by the system.

MOD: Check this box to assign a different data element than the one supplied by the system.

Hope this is helpful to u, do reward points.
