Searsh help in dailog programming

Question

Hi,
I have made a search help for a field in module pool.. i am getting the required result.
My requirement is that i have to fill the other 5 fields on the screen based on my selection of the value in the search help.
can someone help me out here?

Answer 1

From the help on search helps:
A search help attachment is an assignment of a
search help to a table, structure or data element, causing
the corresponding search help to be automatically used to
describe the input help process at this field when      
an ABAP Dictionary field is used in a screen.                                                                               
You can attach a search help as follows:                                                                               
1.  <b>Attach a search help to a structure or table field:
The attached search help is available for all screen fields that refer to the table or structure field.</b>
There must be an assignment between the interface
parameters of the search help and the fields of the table
or structure for this type of attachment. In the input
help process, this assignment results in a value transport
between the corresponding fields (if they are known at
least to the module pool of the screen) and the search
help parameters. As for the foreign key definition, you
can assign nothing, a constant or any other field (which
is then sought in the module pool) to indivdiual search
help parameters.
For eg, the table SFLIGHT has the search help SFLIGHT associated with it, and using this, if the CARRID is entered, the CONNID dropdown lists only those connections with the carrid in the CARRID field.
If you want to populate the fields as soon as the first field is selected, you might need to look at coding a search help exit.
