WEBGUI passing multiple values to one field via url

[SchmidM]

Hi,

i have the requirement to pass a mulitselection via url parameter to a webgui transaction. The business case is to pass the excluded status 'EROF' and 'TABG' to the transaction IW39.

It is no problem to pass a single value (e.g. stae1-low=EROF) via url parameter. But how can i pass multiple ones?

I already tried the following without success:

- stae1-low=EROF,TABG

- stae1-low=TABG&stae1-low=EROF

Thank you for your help.

But that is a static variant and not a URL you can create with dynamic parameters.

hey gregorw i agree but i don't see anywhere the request of dynamic parameters, i read only "multiple", if i misunderstood i will delete my answer of course

maximilian.schmid what do you think?

thanks!A

Hi amontella96

as gregorw mentioned, your suggestion is more a static solution because you would need to create

for every possible situation its own variant, which not practicable. I my case, i need it more dynamical.

However, the suggested solution is great, when you want to launch a variant directly via Tile in the FLP.

By the way, did you test the link you posted or was this just suggestion (because it does not work for me) ?

The answer from the SAP Basis Development Team was, that this is not possible at the moment. They suggested to create a wrapper transaction which implements the logic as a workaround.

Here the orginal statement:

[...]The URL-syntax used via the WebGUI is essentially the same as the OK-Code syntax that one can enter as Short-Cut.

This syntax is very limited and is based only on field-value pairs that allow for prefilling input fields of a Dynpro with exactly one value. More advanced selection criteria (such as select options of selection screens) can not be maintained via this approach. We identified this as a requirement and development topic already; however, as of today, I cannot tell you when such a feature will be available. If it will be available, this would also be available in a future release (most likely a down-port is not possible).

The only work around that we could suggest is to create wrapper transactions and wrapper screen (i.e. screen that provides single fields for from- and to-values) and implement a logic that converts this. [...]

Quite disappointing that this topic was never addressed in the years that SAP GUI for HTML now exists.

Hi gregorwolf,

yes, I agree. Do you think a customer improvement reqeust would accelerate this?

[gregorw · Accepted solution]

At least we can make other SAP Customers and Partners aware of it and also better keep track.

I would also like to have this feature. Can I vote for it anywhere?

If you create an influencing request at https://influence.sap.com/ and post it here: Yes.

Hi,

as promised, i created a ticket at SAP and share the answer here.

Best Regards,

You could paste the answer here and actually accept that one as good answer, it seems to me that would be better than posting a new question which is really an answer 🙂

[SchmidM]

Good idea 😄 I created a new question, because Mrs. Thimme ask me to share this in a different community.

[abo]

Good point, I haven't tried crossposting, not sure it is allowed / accepted.

[sandra_thimme]

To share the answer is a very good idea, thanks Gregor. But I guess it would be better to share the answer with the Web GUI community re SAP GUI Family.

Here: https://community.sap.com/topics/gui

Hallo Maximilian,

könntest du bitte auf der WEB GUI support component eine Meldung aufmachen: BC-FES-WGU

Danke.

[gregorw]

But I hope you can also share an answer here.

[SchmidM]

I already created the incident. If i get an answer, i will share this in the gui community.
