Unable to assign search field
Help Document

Diagnosis

You wanted to link a search help to a structur field. The effect of this is that the input help for this field (the search field) is defined by the search help. To define how values are passed between the input mask and the search help, the interface parameters of the search help must be assigned to the fields of the structure.

The system tries to generate a proposal for this structure, based on parameters that share the same domain. In this case, the search help contains no EXPORT parameters with the same domain as the search field. Therefore, there is no way in which the value can be returned to the search field in the proposed assignment.

System Response

The system generates a proposed assignment in which the search field is not assigned to an EXPORT parameter of the search help.

Procedure

Check whether it makes sense to use the search help for this search field. If it odes, define an EXPORT parameter in the search help that you can assign to the search field. This parameter may already exist but not be defined as an EXPORT parameter. Another possibility is that the parameter does not have the same domain as the search field. As long as the parameter and the search field have at least the same type and length, you can make the assignment manually.
