Populate Drop down values to Adobe forms

Hello,
I am in the process of developing the HCM forms for PCR's. This is using old technology. How can I pass values to the Adobe forms based on certain condition selected in previous screen. For eg. Based on Position selected, I should have a certain value in Drop down pre-selected on the next screen and when the user does a drop down a list of the values should be listed. Where should do the coding for the subsequent drop down values?
Appropriate points rewarded.
Prasad

Here a change in the question below. Based on Position selected, I should have a certain value in Drop down pre-selected on the next screen from table IT1008
and when job is selected drop down from table T500P should be listed. Does this need to be handled in badi or in the Adove form scripting?
Thanks
Prasad

Drop down Values in Adobe form

Dear All,
Greetings.
I am using the Adobe interactive form for E Recruitement(copying the standard and changing it as per the requirement). When i am using the Drop down value for one of the field. Instead of the drop down its showing as a POP-UP with all the possible values.
I am not able to predict what the problem is. I need to have a drop down, instead of the pop up.
Please help me in solving the issue.
Thanks

Hi Ram,
Please use a Enumerated Drop down list ffrom the library, seems currently you have Extended Value selctor in your form.
This will hopefully resolve the issue.

Problem with Enumerated drop-down values in Adobe Forms (WD java)

Hi All,
have a scenario where, I have to fill in a dropdown dynamically when I click a button. I get the values from a function module. I have done this using Isimpletypemodifiablestep. It worked.I have the form too. But when I try to re-implement the same its working only if I give the values during initialisation .
Why is this inconsistent?
Can we modify Simple types only during initialization? I have tried to add the values to the drop-down in controller and map the attribute to view. Even that didn't work.

How to get prefilled drop down list in Adobe form from WebDynpro context

Hi All,

How can we have the same functionality in Adobe form drop down list. I tried to bind the node attribute to drop down list in Adobe form but it shows me only first element. I am not able to see all the elements in the dropdown but if I am doing same thing for WebDynpro DropDown list I can see the complete List.
Anybody with Solution?

Drop down values in Adobe print form, WDA.

Hi All,
I would like to know, how we can dynamically display drop down values in an interactive form developed either through report programme or WD ABAP.
I passed an internal table, but it didnt work.
I tried the ISR way, even then i couldnt get much success.
I even tried using the dynamic properties.
As per my understanding, i need to pass the values as index- text pairs and add some script to the field.
Kindly help on the steps i need to follow. Any suggestions are welcomee [:)]. I require to fetch the DDL values from database tables.
Kind Regards,
- anto.

hi,
to populate the dropdown list you can do it...
1). manually or
2). by code
1). manually go to interactive form->edit
 go to Object tab->field tab ->
 you must see something like
 List Items :
 Text + x
 click on the green + sign...
 it promps you to type. type in the value press enter... and so on...
2) by Code...
 //set up contents of a drop down list dynamically...
 IWDAttributeInfo countryInfo = wdContext.nodeTravelData().getNodeInfo().
 getAttributeInfo().getAttribute("DestinationCountry");
 ISimpleTypeModifiable countryType =
 countryInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
 IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
 countryType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
 countryValueSet.put("1","Germany");
 countryValueSet.put("2","UK");
This will work....

Populating values to drop down list in Adobe Forms

Hi,
We have added a drop down list in our adobe form. Our requirement is Payment Terms should be displayed in this drop down list. We tried by adding values to drop down list in object palette window by using '+' sign. But now we want to display values dynamically from table T052U. We need to bring two fields ZTERM and TEXT1. We don't want to use database connection, just from a table as an importing parameter it should be appended to this list.
Atpresent, we don't want to use webdynpro or java for getting values.
Please provide suitable answers.

Dynamic drop down list in Adobe forms

I have created a drop down list using enumerated drop down list from webdynpro native tab and binded in the object palette by giving $record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[]* in the list items dynamically.DESCR is the field in the internal table into which i fetched data from the database table .I have written this code in a BADI.I dont know whether my form's display type is activex or native? I am not getting any values in the drop down list.can anybody please tell me what might be missing and how should i know whether my form is ActiveX or Native?
My form is called from portal so i have used BADI to connect portal to form

Hi sarang,
I have done a dynamic drop down list in which DESCR field comes from database table and pops into the drop down dynamically. I was working for a PCR scenario so the adobe form was called from portal.I will tell u all the required steps.It might work for u as it is working for me:
1.In the form:
I used two elements from library first is a "ENUMERATED DROP DOWN LIST NO SELECT" from web-dynpro native tab and second is "ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE" from ISR controls tab.Place them one on other inthe form.
For drop down list the setting are:
     In object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS put :$record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*].in ITEMS TEXT write text in ITEMS KEY write key.
     In binding,in default binding put $record.DESCR.DATA[*].FIELD.
For text element the settings are:
     In binding,default binding put Normal.
     when we select ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE it automatically comes with calculated read only int he value tab.so open script editor and place the below code:
$record.DESCR.DATA.FIELD (in calculate).
2.Now the code in BADI is as follows:
In BADI we have to write the code for drop down list in the METHOD "SCENARIO_SET_ADDITIONAL_VALUES"
As i didnt change the standard BADI i added an enhancement spot in which i wrote a function module which fills ADDITIONAL_DATA. and the below code fills the ADDITIONAL_DATA .
DATA: t_t572b TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t572b WITH HEADER LINE,
        t_t554t TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t554t WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM t572b INTO TABLE t_t572b WHERE sprsl EQ 'E'.
CLEAR ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
LOOP AT t_t572b.
    ADD 1 TO ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_KEY'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descd.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_LABEL'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descr.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    CLEAR t_t572b.
ENDLOOP.
For DESCR field the we have to declare DESCR_KEY and DESCR_LABEL in the place holders for key values and palce holders for default values in characteristics tab(where all the fields for the form are defined) of ur respective scenario.(where ur pcr scenario is defined)
Hope ur problem got resolved.
Please let me know if any doubts.
If ur form is not called from portal and u want a dynamic drop down list the difference is put a data drop down list and in object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS select the field into which u populated the data from the database table (this code shud be written in code Initialization in the respective interface) and in ITEMS TEXT put $ in ITEMS KEY put $.and in binding as we normally do bind it to the respective field in which the data is populated from database table.
It should work.

Drop Down Limit in Adobe Form

Hi,
I am having an issue on the drop down list in the adobe form, where the drop down list is only showing one item for user to select. In fact it should contains more.
I debug and noticed that 228 items are returned to the drop down. It should show all 228 items in the drop down on the form.
Futher investigation, i found that the drop down can only maximum display 225 items, the issue occurred when total items are more than 225.
Is there any solution for this?
Are we able to make it auto display a 'search box' whenever the drop down is not able to cater items more than 225?
Please advice.
Thanks
Regards,
Justin

Dear Wen Yew Lim,
I believe this is a standard SAP functionality(although unwanted/disliked).
You could rather use a node and achieve this functionality, instead of adding all the values in an enumerated attribute.

Drop down list in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
Any idea????
Thanks,
Prakash Pandey

Hi ,
Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
Hope my explanation makes sense
Thanks !

Drop Downs in ISR Adobe forms

Hi,
Pease respond to my qns regarding drop-downs.
1. Is it not possible to provide a blank value in the drop list at index 1.
when i tried to provide in the ADD_values method, due to the standard scripting for drop down, it gets removed. I tried changing the loop index in the standard script for the drop down. but it dumps.
kindly help me on it..
2. Is it posible to have column headers in the drop down.
i divide it into columns by providing space/hyphens in the additional values for the respective field.
3. Can we have some options which will provide search helps that looks anything like the one in R/3. i feel it is highly required when we have to select some values which are depended on a set of values. (so that the user can select the right one judiciously )
Any pointers or alternative suggestions are highly appreciated.
Rgds,
Anto.

Hi Anto,
What release and support pack are you on for your ECC system? This is critical to what you can do. See SAP notes 741821 and 852235 and 952693 for release limitations.
Also please make sure you have the ISR Controls library - see SAP Note 947633 and 741381 - this give you a bunch of custom objects that you can add to your form including drop downs with and without preselected values.
It is possible to build something like a value help by using your own user commands - which you respond to in the QISR1 BADI implementation - and some additional characteristics to hold search criteria. The ISR controls will give you the script for the buttons.
Scenario is something like this:
1. Search criteria fields are initially hidden.
2. Button (custom user command) to "open up search criteria"
