Definition

A default value of the right type can be assigned to a parameter of a search help. The parameter is assigned this default value in the following cases when the input help is called:

  1. If the parameter is not an IMPORT parameter.
  2. If nothing is assigned to the parameter in the search help attachment with which the search help is attached to the screen field.
  3. If in the search help attachment a field was assigned to the parameter that does not exist on the screen or in the flow logic (module pool) in the input help process.
  4. If a search help is included in a collective search help and the parameter is not linked with any parameter of this collective search help.

There are the following options for the default values:

  1. Constants enclosed in apostrophes ('). The constant must be specified in internal representation for parameters whose data type has an editing mask (e.g. date and time). For example the date 01.03.1998 must be defined as '19980301'.
  2. System fields. These are fields of the DDIC structure SYST where the prefix SY- can be used instead of the prefix SYST-.
  3. The ID of a GET parameter.
