Hi Gurus,

We have to change a standard ABAP WebDynpro, by removing some fields that we do not need.

How can we modify the standard Search Help screen in order to achieve this requirement?

Thanks in advance a lot.

Look at what type of search help is assigned to the context attribute in question. The process is going to be very different depending upon if it is Data Dictionary Search Help or if it is OVS or Freely Programmed Search help. In the first case you will need to modify the Data Dictionary Search Help Object. In the other cases you might be able to use the Enhancement Framework to change the Search Help output because it is WDA based.

Be careful about changing reusable DDic Search Helps. You might be changing something that is used in a great many screens (classic dynpro as well as Web Dynpro). Consider making a copy of the DDic Search Help and changing that. Then alter the assignment of the search help within the Web Dynpro Context.
