You can use Object Value Selector also.

Here is a step by step procedure :-

1. In your webdynpro component, create a usage (eg. ovs_usage) for WDR_OVS.

2. While defining your context node, set the Input Help mode as Object Value Selector and specify the same usage name (ovs_usage).

3. Write an event handler for the OVS callbank event that will call your function module and fetch the valueset.

Hi,

you should go to the component properties and add the component usage

follow this procedure:

You need to declare the component usage under 'Used Components' of your webdynpro component. The component you need to use is WDR_OVS, and declare a name for the usage that will be used in your code. Hope this helps.

Yes i did declare the component usage under "Used component" of the webdynpro component. But i still got the error.

Hi Mayaa,

Declare the same usage in the properties tab of your view also, where the search help is being used. You need to include the interface controller of the wdr_ovs component.

Hi Nithya,

I tried to declare it in the properties of my view but still didn't work.

could it be because i've got more then 7 controller usage in my view ?

when i add a controller usage, i've got a message ' Only 7 controller usages maximum can be defined"
