Assignment of a Search Help to a Table Field or Structure Field
The search help can be used by all screen fields that refer to the table field or structure field. The search help parameters and the fields of the table or structure must be assigned to each other in this type of assignment.
If an export parameter of the search help is assigned to a table field, the contents of this parameter are returned to the corresponding screen field. This happens immediately when you select a line of the hit list in the input help. If an import parameter of the search help is assigned to a table field, the field contents are used for the value selection. (For more information, see Value Transport for the Input Help .)
Some parameters of the search help cannot be assigned to a table field. You can leave the assignment open for some search help parameters. A constant or any other field that is searched for in the module pool when the input help is called can also be assigned to a search help parameter.
The search help attachment is part of the definition of the table/structure to which the search help is attached. For more information about attaching a search help to a table field, see Creating Tables .
The search help STRAVELAG_NAME allows you to search for the number of a travel agency using supplementary information about the agency (name, city, country). This search help must be available for all screen fields that refer to field AGENCYNUM (number of the agency) in table STRAVELAG. To do this, you must directly attach the search help to the field AGENCYNUM of table STRAVELAG. All the parameters of the search help can be allocated to the corresponding table fields. In the following figure you can see the assignments between the search help parameters and the table fields in our example.
