Sorting search help values in Web Report

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Users often get annoyed by the input help in our web-reports. As the data in the InfoProvider grows, the variable values in the input help screens gets over-populated.

Often old values (eg. 0CALMONTH) are displayed first and users have to scroll trough 8 blocks of values before they get the value they are looking for.

It is kind of a practical issue, but does any of you know how to sort the values in the input help screen?

Regards,

Option 1 works in Report Output not in F4 value help.

Hi,

I am not sure if this possible.. however did you try the following=

1. set the sort property of your IObj to Descending in your query

2. maintain an entry F4_NO_SORTING = 0CALMONTH in RSADMIN with report SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN (SE38); refer to OSS Note "994093 - F4: Disable sorting - improves performance"

let us know....

Olivier.
