From NW 7.02 ( i.e Enhancement package 02), auto completion is available.

For both ABAP and WD4A?!

Also, stupid question, we are talking about NW 7.0 EHP2 = ECC 6.0 EHP5, correct?

cheers, Lukas

What do you mean by ABAP? Do you mean SAPGUI based screen? If so, SAPGUI for Windows already has a built in field history option. However this is just history, not a backend search like the SuggestValues Autocomplete in WDA. There are no plans to further enhance SAPGUI, so this is a new feature only available in WDA.

Yes NW 7.0 EnhP2 is the the NetWeaver layer version running under ECC 6.0 EnhP 5.

Yeah, this clears out my doubt, only for WD4A ECC 6.05 onwards then. Thanks!

Hi,

According to this thread:

Auto-Completion for WD4A seems not possible (see Quote from Thomas).

I haven't heard of Auto-Completion for plain ABAP, I don't think it's been realized yet (but I'm NOT entirely sure here).

regards, Lukas
