Need to set default value on Account Search

Question

HI All,
In BSP BP_HEADSEARCH view MainSearch I need to default the value of the attribute 'RESP_AREA' to '01'. I can see the attribute on the value node SEARCH but when get the current context of SEARCH the entity is of a type CL_CRM_BOL_DQUERY_SERVICE and I am not sure how to set the default value.
Any help will be appreciated,
Regards,
Tom

Hi Tom,
When it comes to setting values in a search entity you can not use the normal getter/setter methods because the context node class will be inherited from CL_BSP_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_ASP. In the context node class there will be few attributes (FIELD,MAX_HITS,OPERATOR,VALUE1,VALUE2) that corresponds to the fields diosplayed in the search criteria. The fields VALUE1 and VALUE2 represents the LOW and HIGH values.
To set default value for RESP_AREA you must redefine SET_VALUE1 method and read the ATTR_NAME. If ATTR_NAME is RESP_AREA then you can set the value.
Method SET_VALUE1.
* Get current criterion
  data: criterion type ref to if_bol_bo_property_access.
  if iterator is bound.
    criterion = iterator->get_current( ).
  else.
    criterion = me->parameter_collection->get_current( ).
  endif.
* Set its low value from user input
  try.
      data: lv_value type string.
      lv_value =
         me->convert_value_from_string( iv_string = value
                                        iv_criterion = criterion ).
      criterion->set_property( iv_attr_name = 'LOW'
                               iv_value = lv_value ).       "#EC NOTEXT
    cleanup.
*     Keep buggy user input for correction
      criterion->set_property( iv_attr_name = 'LOW'
                               iv_value = value ).          "#EC NOTEXT
  endtry.
* Set the default value for RESP_AREA
lv_attr_name =  criterion->get_property_as_string( 'ATTR_NAME' ).
if lv_attr_name eq 'RESP_AREA'.
    criterion->set_property( iv_attr_name = 'LOW' iv_value = ---- ).
Endif.
