Elementary search help without hit list is meaningless

Diagnosis

The flag that they should appear in the hit list is not set for any of the parameters in the elementary search help in question. An elementary search help without a hit list is meaningless because it is not possible to select a value from the set of possible values in the input help process which it describes.

System Response

The action is terminated abnormally.

Procedure

In the maintenance screen for the search help, assign at least one parameter a position in the hit list.

hi, You need to maintain the position number(lpos) against your search help parameters and your error will go.
