Creating a Dynamic Local ListLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

  • You must be defined as a coordinator for all languages ****
  • You must have authorization object LOLI Create or Delete Local Lists with value 01 Create Allowed or 02 Create and Delete Allowed.
  • To create a dynamic local list, you must first create a function module that enables you to find the required translation objects.

Procedure

  1. Call transaction LXE_MASTER.
  2. Choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Local Lists End of the navigation path.

    The Local Lists dialog box appears.

  3. In the Create Local Lists group box, enter a suitable name and description in the Name and Description fields.

    Your entry in the Name field becomes part of the technical name of the local list.

    Your entry in the Description field is displayed when you manage local lists at the top of the Local Lists dialog box, and when you assign a local list for translation. Translators see the description when they select a local list in transaction SE63 to call up an on-the-fly worklist.

  4. In the Dynamic List (With User Exit) group box, specify a function module and, if necessary, a parameter.
    Note The default values in these two fields are just an example of how a function module can be used to generate a dynamic local list. You can use this function module to generate a dynamic local list, or use it as a template for your own function module.
  5. If you want the local list to be used in a dialog process only (to create an on-the-fly worklist in transaction SE63), select the Use List in Dialog Process Only checkbox. You must select this checkbox if your function module necessitates user interaction or frontend access.

    If you want the local list to be used in a dialog process (to create an on-the-fly worklist in transaction SE63) or a background run (to create an object list in transaction LXE_MASTER), do not select this checkbox.

  6. Choose Create.

Results

  • A dynamic local list is created. To display the local list, in the Manage Local Lists group box, choose Start of the navigation path Select Lists Next navigation step Edit Selection End of the navigation path.
  • If you selected the Use List in Dialog Process Only checkbox, the local list is displayed under the header DIAL Dialog List.
  • If you did not select the Use List in Dialog Process Only checkbox, the local list is displayed under the header DYNA Dynamic List.
  • The text that you entered in the Description field is displayed to the right of the technical name of the local list. The number of objects in a dynamic local list (displayed to the left of its technical name) is always zero.

You can now assign the local list for translation, or use it to call up an on-the-fly worklist or create an object list.
