F4 or drop down returning key field description

540 Views

Hello,

I have a requirement to return the description along with the selected field value when using F4 or drop down search help functionality. I was told to look at the the Main Usage Type in the Additional Data tab of transaction REBDBU as an example of what they want. This is a delivered SAP field and I looked at the code behind it. After bringing back the selected field value the description of the old value still displays until you hit Enter. At this point a class method is called to retreive the field description. I'm being told by another senior developer that I shouldn't have to code for the description and it should be brought back into the program using the search help functionality. I don't see any way this is possible. Does anyone have something to add to this scenario?

Thank you,

JR
