This post is in continuation with previous post about SAP ABAP syntax for parameters part four.
Addition 15
... VALUE-REQUEST
Effect
This addition is only allowed for database-specific parameters in the INCLUDE DBldbSEL . It permits self-programmed value help (for report-specific parameters, this is achieved by specifying the event key word AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR ... ). The addition has the following effect:
On the selection screen, the parameter has a button for requesting possible entries. When the user presses this button or F4 , this starts the FORM routine p_VAL in the database access program SAPDBldb (if it exists). Then - even if the parameter with LIKE points to a Dictionary field - this FORM routine is processed rather than displaying the check table or the fixed values of the Dictionary field.
Example
* INCLUDE DBXYZSEL
...
PARAMETERS PL_TYPE LIKE SAPLANE-PLANETYPE VALUEREQUEST.
...
REPORT SAPDBXYZ DEFINING DATABASE XYZ.
...
TABLES SAPLANE.
...
FORM PL_TYPE_VAL.
...
CALL FUNCTION ...
...
ENDFORM.
Addition 16
... HELP-REQUEST
Effect
Like VALUE-REQUEST , this addition is only allowed for database-specific parameters in the INCLUDE DBldbSEL . It permits self-programmed value help (for report-specific parameters, this is achieved by specifying the event key word AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR ... ). When the user presses F1 , this starts the FORM routine p_HLP in the database access program SAPDBldb (if it exists). Then -even if the parameter with LIKE points to a Dictionary field - this FORM routine is processed rather than displaying the data element documentation of the Dictionary field. You can also branch from the routine p_HLP to a function module which displays its own documentation.
Example
* INCLUDE DBXYZSEL
...
PARAMETERS PL_TYPE LIKE SAPLANE-PLANETYPE HELPREQUEST.
...
REPORT SAPDBXYZ DEFINING DATABASE XYZ.
...
TABLES SAPLANE.
...
FORM PL_TYPE_HLP.
...
CALL FUNCTION ...
...
ENDFORM.
