ABAP Dictionary Search Help

In Web Dynpro ABAP, you can reuse existing search helps from the ABAP Dictionary

When ABAP Dictionary search helps are reused, there are situations in which you want a search help exit to behave differently

in the Web Dynpro environment than in the classical dynpro. For example, in the Web Dynpro environment it is not possible to

process a separate dialog using CALL SCREEN.

OVS Input Help

The maximum scope of Dictionary Search a search help is to the structure to which it is related.

There are situations where this technique is not sufficient.

e.g.Sometimes different input fields are related to diff value nodes which in turn refer to different ABAP dictionary

structures. In this case OVS (Object Value Selector).

Provides advanced search functionality

(Re-)use of component WDR_OVS – as search help view

Requires that the developer writes some specific coding

uniform look an feel for all search helps

The Event OVS has 4 phases, each is called once

CO_PHASE_0 for configuration of the OVS

CO_PHASE_1 for definition selection fields and default values

CO_PHASE_2 for retrieval of the result table

CO_PHASE_3 for receiving the selection

The different Phases can be recognized with the attribute OVS_CALLBACK_OBJECT->PHASE_INDICATOR

Freely Programmed Input Help

help. It is implemented as a WD component implementing WD component interface IWD_VALUE_HELP.
