Adobe form/reader error

Question

Hi
We are working on PCR forms in MSS and having some issues with certain forms.
I am UNABLE to select any option in the PCR Adobe form's DROPDOWN LIST
BOX and any Adobe form which has a dropdown list comes up with an error
message "message limit exceeded. Remaining n errors not reported" when 'n' could be any number.
We are on EP 7, ECC6.0 (NW2004s) and Adobe Reader 7.0.8
I tried this with and without the xACF component, still having the same issue.
Any recommendations on how to solve this?
Thanks
Regards
Michael

Hello Michael,
All the PCR forms are ZCI ased forms. Hence, working with or without ACF does not make a difference. Most probably, you are missing the dynamic mapping for the DDLs. Please open the form in the designer and select the DDL. Under the "Object" > "Binding" tab, click on the "Specify Item Values" link. This will popup a "Dynamic Properties" window. Could you please tell me what do you see there ? If you have not changed this dynamic property you will see the following entry: "$record.sap-vhlist.<b>REPLACE_THIS</b>.item[*]". You need to replace the "REPLACE_THIS" portion with the appropriate context structure here for the DDL under consideration. For example, if you have a context structure as follows:
  [code]Context
         DDLData (dataSource node)
           ValueHelpDDL (attribute of type String mapped to DDL)[/code]
Your SOM expression should look like:
[code]$record.sap-vhlist.ValueHelpDDL.item[*][/code]
Now, let us take a more complex context structure:
[code]
Context
         DDLData (dataSource node)
           MyDDLData (internal node)
             DDLDataItems (one more internal node)
               ValueHelpDDL(attribute of type String mapped to DDL)
[/code]
In the above case your dynamic binding should be as follows:
[code]
$record.sap-vhlist.MyDDLData\.DDLDataItems\.ValueHelpDDL.item[*]
[/code]
Notice how the "<b>\.</b>"s are inserted in between to separate the context structure. Make sure that the node names are correct. When the changes are done, please redeploy the application and try again.
Note: Please do not change anything inside the "DO NOT MODIFY" section. If you think that there is a bug or a problem with the code, please report it to SAP immediately. That way we can avoid any potential conflict.
Best Regards,
