Usage of serach help in BDC

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have problem with search help for a field while using BDC.

process on value-request.

field: tcp-cp module value_for_cp.

Here I'm calling perform value_for_cp when the user press f4 button.

But when I run BDC recorder its not recording F4(search help) selection.

Any idea how to use search help(F4) for a field using BDC or is there is any function code is available for F4 button.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards

Hi Chandra,

F4 (and F1) is not recorded - it's a feature, not a bug.

Hi Chandra,

ok, there is no recording. Normally I would select necessary data in my program, which creates BDC - it's much easier (and faster).

Nevertheless: try adding bdc_okcode /04 (should simulate typing F4) and add further fields and screens manually in your BDC.

If there is only one hit, different users will have different settings for 'immediate return'. If there are many hits, you will have trouble to identify desired line.

You can get some aid, when hitting F1, F9 one important fields to see technical attributes. In the end of popup 'name for batch-input' will be shown, also screen number and program name are shown in the beginning.

Sometimes it might be difficult to pre-read allowed values - but still: should be easier.
