About search help exit problem

[Former Member]

I am studying the search help exit recently, I have tried all the other function in this session, but I found some problem in the CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'SELONE'.

There are some explaination in the demo program which I can't understand. The explaination list below:

* If you do not change CALLCONTROL-STEP, the next step is the

* dialog, to select one of the elementary searchhelps.

* If you want to skip this dialog, you have to return the selected

* elementary searchhelp in SHLP and to change CALLCONTROL-STEP to

* either to 'PRESEL' or to 'SELECT'.

I have two question about this. 1. What is the dialog, does it means the search help selection where we can type some filter like 'D*'?

                                              2. How to skip the dialog, I tried many code, it can't be skipped. Anybody has the example?

The SELONE dialog is the windows to select the initial elementary search-help

If you don't want to display this pop-up,

IF callcontrol-step EQ 'SELONE'.
  shlp-shlpname = 'choiceone'. " Current elementary search-help
  callcontrol-step = 'PRESEL'. " Set step to PRESEL

Hi Raymond, I use the code you gave, but it can't stop this dialog pop-up

Hi,

if you want to skip the dialog, meaning no list appear and you return immediatly to the caller, just set

CALLCONTROL-HIDE_LIST = abap_true.

Kind regards,
