Field value to appear automatically

[Former Member]

Hi all,

The question is this, say we have a maintenance view NN_V connected to a table NN_T. The table is maintained through a transaction that is connected to a maintenance view NN_V.

Now when we run the transaction a maintenance view for the table is opened.

One of the fields (columns) in the table has search help (F4) that gives user a list of values available for that field. In this case it is a list of different field names for structures in the system. What I would now like is that when a user selects one of the values ( a field name in this case) that in another field (column) in the maintenance view a value appears (description of the field).

So, to sum it up, how can I make a value in one field in the maintenance view appear when the user selects value in another field?

All help is deeply appriciated and will be rewarded.

Hi,

I assume the search help which is giving possible value for col1 is also giving the descriptions for the respective values.

In such case assign the same search help to the description field col2 also in the table.

This should populate the description automatically once a value from the search help is selected.
