Search help in Web Dynpro in ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am starting with WD for ABAP (NW04s). I am using PA0022 table as model and displaying these values on the view. By default most of the fields like country, education centre, Faculty, Branch, Score come with an F4 option. But the value displayed in these fields are always key fields(Numeric), which would not make any sense for the end user. Now I would like the Text/Descriptions to be displayed against each field.

Can anyone help me out.

Using dropdownby Key select fields is a good option here.

Change the input fields to be Dropdownby key instead.

Where there is a domain, the framework will populate the metadata in the context nicely.

Where the dropdown list isnt poulated as you would like, you can quickly fill the values.

basic code steps:

WD_CONTEXT -> Get_child_node " get the node containing the fields to have dropdowns

lr_child_node->get_node_info " get a reference to the metadata info of a node.

lr_node_info->set_attribute_value_set " to populate with key value / human friendly values

The user now sees descriptions, the context attribute receives the key value.

This is not a search help, and is suitable for small lists only. eg < 100 entries

Thanks Phil,

I had tried this Method but it is giving me this kind of Error <b> " The ASSERT condition was violated. </b>

Please help me out.

Hi Seema,

I think the values you are trying to populate exceeds 100 entries, and drop downs are not suitable in this scenario. Try doing the same where there are less than 100 entries and test the same.

Hi Seema,

this seems to be a problem in the Web Dynpro ABAP Dictionary Search Help component.

Please open a customer message and provide all necessary information to reproduce the problem (System/Client, Web Dynpro Component/Application and the steps to execute).

Thanks and Greetings,

After you have created Message on SMP,

Try the following:

add the attribute LANGU to the node where these fields are located in the context.

May require you to create a structure

with include paXXXX and LANGU.

Then use this structure instead of paxxxx in the context.

Set the context of LANGU to a valid language.

I suspect you will need E and not EN for english.

So trial error while waiting for the SMP response.
