Hi everyone,
I am having an issue concerning the search help functionality in the ABAP dictionary and I cannot find an accurate answer in the community network.
I created a data element (ZPRODH2) that has a length of 5 characters and I attached a collective search help to it. The search help contain an elementary search help that has a parameter (PRODH) with a length of 18 characters. In resume I linked ZPRODH2 to PRODH. No problem in the dictionary.
In a program I use a select-option on field ZPRODH2. When I select a record in the popup screen, the first 5 characters of field PRODH is returned in ZPRODH2 which is normal. I would like to have character 10 to 15 displayed in field ZPRODH2.
How can I select character 10 to 15 in the search help? What do I need to change in the ABAP dictionary?
I tried to use a search help exit (function module) but without any possibility to modify the return value. I would like to concentrate my changes in the ABAP dictionary only.
Thank you for your solutions,
Sylvain
