F4 Input Help for Browsing for Namespaces

Use

The Business Suite applications require a simple option for the targeted processing of tags and tag groups of the external data source.

The elementary search help S_PCO_ELM_BROWSE_TAG in package S_PCO is a sample template for selecting a tag or a tag group. The namespace of tags is displayed in a dialog box. After the tag or tag group has been selected, the search help returns the fully qualified path of the selected object.

Features

The following search help parameters are available:

Search Help Parameter

Meaning

MAX_ENTRIES

Entry of the maximum value for selecting tags and tag groups. The entered number must have a value > 0.

RFC_DEST

Entry of the RFC connection for the selected PCo agent instance

SIMUL_MODE

Running the search help in simulation mode (X), whereby there is no communication with the PCo agent instance, hard-coded data is accessed instead.

TAG_ID

Output field for the first 255 characters of the fully qualified path for the selected object in the internal PCo format (with / as the separator)

TAG_DESCR

Output field for the description of the tag:

  • Is only filled with values in simulation mode

  • Currently, the description of the tag cannot be determined in productive mode:

    This PCo metadata object is not returned to the calling Business Suite application when the PCo query is run.

NODE_TEXT

Output field for the name of the tag or tag group

IS_GROUP

Output field for the indicator that states whether the selected object is a tag or tag group

Due to the width of 464 characters it is not possible to create a personal input help for the search help. The output of the fully qualified path must also be limited to a maximum of 255 characters due to the restrictions for the output of character strings in search helps/screens.
