How to get f4 help for a structure field from backend

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We are using a standard infotype structure to get data from backend. now in r/3 by defintion there is a help table + search help attched to a field in this structure, when we are mapping this field on our webdynpro view, we are unable to get desired value help.

there is another field for currency, we are able to get value help there.. but for country field unbale to see any value help.

your inputs are eagerly awaited.

Thanks for your time,

Regards,

Sudhir,

By default, you will NOT get F4 help in WebDynpro. You have to implement OVS for it. Refer <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/5dcbe990-0201-0010-2c99-a2bc9e61acfc">wd Value help using OVS</a> and <a href="/people/valery.silaev/blog/2006/03/10/minus-evs-plus-ovs-value-help-smart-input EVS, Plus OVS == Value Help + "Smart" Input</a>.

Hi Bala.. We are able to get value help for currency field, without any development... could you suggest somethign with same..

Sudhir,

I guess your currency field is an input field bound to a model value attribute. In such a case the value will come from the R3 domain.,i.e the values maintained in the domain for the will get listed in an Extended Value Selector.(EVS). You may ask your ABAPer to maintain values in the domain for all required fields.(I guess TCode is CT04, not sure..I'm not an ABAPer).

Sudhir,

There are not so many options on Java side:

1. If your data element in R/3 has enumeration, then just use input field, and EVS will be applied automatically.

2. If there is a BAPI that returns necessary key->text pairs (like BAPI_COMPANYCODE_GETLIST) then create OVS with this BAPI.

3. Finally, try BAPI_HELPVALUES_GET and BAPI_HELPVALUES_GET_SEARCHHELP with OVS (cool, generic aproach, but quite complex). Read excellent blog serie by Thomas Jung (/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2005/08/22/bsp-value-input-help-popups-version-30) to learn more. He describes extension to BSP, same can be applied in WD Java.

Thanks Valery..

let me explain how i am using this model to get data..

we are using standard strucure p0002 to read/display our data...

we have created value attributes to recieve user input and type is same as defined in backend structure ..

this mapping is working for fields Currency but for field Counrty we are unable to see any value.

I backend i can a table attched to domain -> values.
