Search help on screen

hi all,

I have two screen fields to which i have attached search helps dynamically (using function module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST. The scenario is that i want to select the first field and depending on the value entered, i want to restrict the search help on the second field. eg: i select material (mara-matnr) and depending on the material, i want to show only the related plants (marc-werks for the material).

The issue is that when i write a select to populate the fields in the value_tab internal table(returned by the function module F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST, i write the following...

select werks from marc into (l_werks)

where matnr eq i_matnr.

where i_matnr is the screen field.

the selected material is not populated in i_matnr. However, while executing the PAI, the value can be seen.

What i rather want is this to be available in POV. since the module containing the above code is written in POV.

is there something i m missing?

if not then what could be the possible ways to get around this.?

I hope the problem is clear. Awaiting answers...

regards,

PJ
