Documentation

Definition

Here you can specify a LIKE field for a parameter of the calculation routine. The parameter thus acquires the attributes of this field, in particular, the help documentation and the input support (possible entries).

The LIKE field must be defined as a field of a structure in the Repository.

Alternatively, you can define the technical attributes of the parameter directly in the fields 'Type' and 'Length'. When you execute the report, however, you will not be able to call up the help documentation or possible entries for this parameter.

Example

A data field has been defined that is to translate a value into a user-defined target currency. The following three parameters are required for this:

Parameter    LIKE field    Text

CCHCU    TCURR-TCURR    Target currency

CCHDAT    SY-DATUM    Exchage rate date

CCHTYP    TCURR-KURST    Exchange rate type
