Documentation
Definition
The possible entries for a field displayed in the hit list are determined at runtime by selection from the database. The selection method describes the database object from which the data is read. A database table or view can be defined as selection method.
To use a field of the selection method in the input help (as field in the dialog box for restricting values, as column in the hit list or as value returned to the screen), a parameter with the same name must be inserted in the search help.
