Setting a prameter immediately after selection in search help

[Former Member]

Hi

I would like to set a parameter 'X' immediately as soon as an entry in the hitlist of a search help, say 'A', is selected i.e just before the selected value is passed to the screen. I couldn't find any event for this in the call_control-step of search help exits.

The reason I would like to do this is because this parameter 'X' will then be used to influence the selection of another search help, say 'B'.

Can anybody help me out ?

Thanks

Hello Felix,

I think this not possible. I have checked it with the sample code:

REPORT ZV_TEST58 .
PARAMETERS: P_TABLE LIKE MARA-MATNR,
P_VAR(1).

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON P_TABLE.
  IF NOT P_TABLE IS INITIAL.
    P_VAR =  'X'.
  ENDIF.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
  IF NOT P_TABLE IS INITIAL.
    P_VAR =  'X'.
  ENDIF.

I think there should be an user action to filll the P_VAR parameter

I would like to clarify futher.

The two search helps are not being used in a selection screen. They are being used within an editable ALV grid.

The scenario is something like this:

The user creates a new line. He then selects a value for field 1 of the line using search help 'A'. He then selects field 2 of the line using search help 'B'.

The requirement is that when he uses search help 'B', it should have as a default vaule for one of the search parameters, field 1's value.

UPDATE:

The timepoint

CALLCONTROL-STEP = 'RETURN' of search help exits is exactly the timepoint i would need to set my parameters for search help 'A'. But it doesn't seem to get triggered (Checked in debugging)

Help !
