Search help not appearing

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have created a structure , with a field named TABLE_NAME with forien key linked to DD02L-TABNAME and search help DD_TABL . I have used the field in webdynpro as input field ( context refering to the dictionary structure) , but the search help button is not appearing in the page. If i refer the field as parameter in an executable program (se38), the search help is working, Please let me know, Am i missing something in webdynpro ?

One more thing ..Will the Webdynpro do the automatic validation against the check table entry or is there any procedure to validate the unpit value to check tables ?

Thanks,

Murali

Hi Murali..

If Search help is available at dictionary level, it will come automatically, no need to do anything.

Please go to context and select that attribute and in attribute properties check

Check and let me know...

Cheers..

Kris.

I would suspect that your choosen search help has a search help exit. Within this search help exit there is a CALL SCREEN. This is rare, but when it occurs it creates a search help that is no compatible with Web Dynpro ABAP. You simply can't use this search help then. You would have to create your own search help. Sometimes in a collective search help it is just one of the elemental helps that have this problem. You might be able to create your own collective that removes the offending element search help(s). Generally a call screen is used because the search help has a unique interface (like a tree for a hierarchy). You will likely have to replicate that in Web Dynpro by hand using the freely programmed value help.
