Modifying Enumeration Data tied to Table Field

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an application to create Service Order. The page is laid out in Header and line format. I have created a structure datatype "LINES" to store the line data and one of the fields in the datatype is Equipment. Equipment field is tied to a simple datatype "EqType" which inturn is a String of specific length.

In my Create View, doInit method, I call a BAPI to get a list of equiments based on certain criteria. I would like to provide a value help on Equipment field in my LINES table. I am looking for some way to dynamically assign allowed values to Equipment field.

Any suggestions ?

Hi Mukesh,

I don't think you can have Value help from R/3 for a simple data type with enumeration data. But why do you need to combine both these? If you have your permissible data stored as enumeration, you can show a value help using the Extended Value Help or Simple Value Help (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/webdynpro/value help in web dynpro applications.pdf)

Else if the list of possible values come from R/3 you can show the Value help using Object Value Selector (OVS)

Hope this helps,

Best Regards,

Nibu.
