Search Help With Input Parameter in WebDynpro ABAP

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have been facing a problem regarding a search help I wanted to attach to an input field on my UI. The search help expects an import parameter and offers four output parameters. What I did was to create a context node based on a ddic structure. The structure has one attribute for each of the five parameters. I defined the search help for all context attributes except the importing one where I deactivated the search help. The search help is available on one of the input fields on the view and bound to one of the attributes in the context. The other context attributes are not bound to anything. The names as well as the data types are the same in the search help as well as in the ddic structure, bound to the context node.

During WDDOINIT, I am setting the "import" context attribute. The problem is that the table with the search help parameters is empty when the search help exit is entered. Do you have any idea what I have to do in order to provide the import value to the search help?

Thanks in advance and best regards

Hi,

By context node, do u mean that u made a drop down with values in ddic structure ,

rather than that u can use FM 'VRM_SET_VALUES' this would be simpler if that makes sense for ur requirement.

pls revert if any comments on it.
