Hi Alex, thx for your reply. I'm not quite sure I understand because the context in my webdynpro is bound to the new search help. I also created a "junk" webdynpro with 2 UI Input Elements. One is tied to the a context with the SAP Search help and the Other is tied to a context with this new Z copy I made. Keep in mind that both search helps are exactly the same other than the name. When I debug the SAP one the shlp_interface table is populated with all of the parameters (10 of them). When I dedug the Z one then the shlp_interface table is only populated with one parameter - the Plant_id, so this is probably the root of my problem.
I spent quite a bit of time deguging the SAP Code and here is what I found:
Class CL_WDR_DDIC_SEARCH_HELP , Method CREATE_SEARCH_HELP ---- the line
IF shlpname IS NOT INITIAL AND shlpname NE shlptop-shlpname. Is true so
it goes into this area and only populates the 1st selection to the shlp-
interface table because it has help-infos-call = M. The problem seems
to be is that its not populating the SHLP-Interface table properly. shlptop-shlpname is empty/null and shlpname is ZEHFND_ELM_EQU_ID. This method is not even called when I use the SAP Search help.
I seem to be running in circles and the answer is probabaly simple somewhere. Any suggestions?
