Hi,

In DDIC you can write search help for the attributes you binded to the ALV.

You write your own programmed value help and attach to the attribute on viewdesigner.

I would go for DDIC approach.

c to get search help......1st create search help in se11...for the attribute u want search help...

then in WDA u create a node.....then attribute inside tht node....

hi Xavier.

to display the data in alv you must have binded it to some context node / attribute rite?.......now to get an input help to the fields you can first make the search help using transaction se11...after making the search help return to the web dynpro component go to the conttext tab.... click on the particular attribut where you want to have the search help....check in the property below...you will find that the " INPUT SEARCH help" is set to automatic ....set it to " dictionary search help".....and below it mention the name of search help you created....save it and activate the component again...the search help will be reflected automatically in the output.

in case of any further query regarding this kindly reply.

thanks,
