Hi,

1.Use search help exit.

Calling the Search Help Exit

If a search help exit is assigned to a search help, the help processor calls it at the following times:

Before Displaying the Dialog Box for Selecting the Required Search Path.

It is only called for collective search helps. Using the search help exit, the set of elementary search helps available can for example be restricted depending on the context.

Before Displaying the Dialog Box for Entering Search Conditions.

You can either influence the dialog for entering search conditions or skip it altogether here. You can also influence how the selection screen looks.

Before Selecting Data.

The data selection can be partly or completely copied from the search help exit. This can become necessary if the data selection cannot be implemented with a SELECT statement for a table or a view.

Before Displaying the Hit List.

You can influence the display of the hit list in this step with the search help exit. You can reduce the number of values displayed here. For example, you can display only values for which the person calling the input help has authorization. You can also copy the complete hit list from the search help exit.

Before Returning the Values Selected by the User to the Input Template.

It could be advisable to intervene at this time if control of the further transaction flow should depend on the value selected. A typical example is setting set/get parameters.
