Handling the search help exporting parameters.

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am using a search help for an input field.My requirement is that on the selection of a row in the displayed result for search help two other fields needs to be populated in the UI , which actually are the exporting parametrs of the search help.I mean to say how to handle the exporting parameters of a search help so as to populate other input fields in the UI.

This is possible with the DDic Search help. From the online help:

If an input help structure is stored in a field in the ABAP Dictionary, and if you want to use the field mapping of search help parameters stored in the ABAP Dictionary as the field name for the structure for your Web Dynpro input help, then map your context nodes to this structure. This ensures that all components of the structure are available dynamically at runtime as attributes of the node.

If the context node is not mapped to the structure, the data element's input help can be used if there is one.

Hi,

Once you have gone through the above link, after getting the export parameters from the value help, use them and bind the relevant context attributes of the other UI elements.

Dear Manne,

Actually i have to use a data element that already has a search help which has the exporting parameters that i need to handle to display it in the output.I can either use a search help or an OVS for a given attribute which is associated with that data element, but not both.

Hi,

This can be achieved with OVS search help and check the below guide which helps on how to use OVS in webdynpro.
