Hey folks,
I am experiencing some 'weird' behavior with an enhanced search help on a classic SAP dynpro field.
The current setup is:
- ABAP 7.40 SPS11 on HANA
- classic dynpro screen
- an input field with a custom data element of type characters length 110 - input length is set to 110 in screen field properties
- a custom search help with 1 output field ( same data type ) using a custom search help exit
- the search help works fine and the enhanced search 'works' in the sense that auto suggest values appear
So what is the issue ?
If the search help is activated then I can only enter a value of maximum 60 characters in the input field ... if the search help is not activated then I can enter 110 characters. I checked and rechecked the search help and input field settings but cannot find anything strange.
Anybody having any clue or suggestion on why this is happening ?
Another 'weird' behavior is that the auto suggested values contain a list of all values in the table ( currently only 8 but should be much more in production ) and the possible matching text value is set in bold ... which is confusing the users as they type a word and still non-relevant values are shown ... Is there a way to configure this so that only 'matching' values are shown ? ( Like is shown in some SAP video's showcasing this functionality )
Activating or deactivating the 'fuzzy search' option in the search help does not change anything about the 2 points above ...
Thanks,
Steven
