Hi Mathi,

Answers to your questions:

1. To fill the drop down select the drop down you want to fill and go to the Object palette, choose field tab and there would be an option list item press the icon button and the value you want. Similarly use button to remove the values.

2. To use the values outside the form bind the drop down to a attribute from the data source.

3. To use inside to set values of the remaining drop downs use the following code at the exit event of the first drop down.

if (a.rawValue == 'a' )
{
	b.rawValue = 'f';
	c.rawValue = 'h';
}

here i have supposed that a, b, c are three dropdowns.

a has values : a,b,c.

and b has values : d,e,f.

and c has values : g,h,i.

To write this code in the exit event of the first drop down(a) select it and in the script editor choose exit event.

To show script editor go to windows in the menu and choose script editor.

I hope it will be helpful.

Hi Vaibhav Tiwari,

Hi Mathi,

Do the Following:

1. Create a context node bound to the internal table.

2. Take it as data source for the form.

3. Bind the drop down field to the attribute in the data source (i.e. the attribute to which the field you want from the internal table is bound).

Hi Mathi,

You have to map attribute only. It becomes possible in java web dynpro by creating a simple type. But in ABAP web dynpro or in SFP transaction I don't have any clear idea. But I will try from my side to find out the solution and let you know if get succeed.
