Attaching 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 one other in this type of attachment.
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 as soon as the user has selected 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 (see
Value Transport for the Input Help).Normally some parameters of the search help cannot be assigned to a table field. The assignment is thus left 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 STRAVELAG_NAME permits you to search for the number of a travel agency using supplementary information about the agency (name, city, country). This search help should be available to all screen fields that reference field AGENCYNUM (number of the agency) in table STRAVELAG. The search help is therefore directly attached to the field AGENCYNUM of table STRAVELAG. All the parameters of the search help can be allocated to corresponding table fields.
The search help attachment is part of the definition of the table/structure to which the search help is attached. You can find out how to attach a search help to a table field in
Creating Tables.
