Step 1: Create a WebDynpro Component A. Create a new WebDynpro component by the name ZWD_DROPDOWN_TABLE. Step 2: Create a Context to hold data B. Double click on View. Go to Context Tab. C. Create Node as Shown below.. D. Click on Add Attribute from Structure F. Select components from the structure and Click on finish. 2009 SAP AG 3
G. Create another node under SPFLI node as below. 2009 SAP AG 4
H. Create two attributes under the Node SFLIGHT as below. I. Context of the view looks as below. J. Select the SFLIGHT and Double click on CARRID_DATA supply function. 2009 SAP AG 5
Step 3: Code for Supply Function. K. Copy the below code in the method CARRID_DATA. DATA: lt_carrid TYPE TABLE OF s_carr_id, ls_spfli TYPE wd_this->element_spfli, lt_spfli TYPE wd_this->elements_spfli, lt_sflight TYPE wd_this->elements_sflight, ls_sflight TYPE wd_this->element_sflight, wd_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node, lr_element TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element. SELECT DISTINCT carrid UP TO 20 ROWS FROM sflight INTO TABLE lt_carrid. *** This would create 20 blank rows in the table with only the dropdown filled with CARRID values DO 20 TIMES. APPEND ls_spfli TO lt_spfli. ENDDO. node->bind_table( new_items = lt_spfli set_initial_elements = abap_true ). LOOP AT lt_spfli INTO ls_spfli. 2009 SAP AG 6
LOOP AT lt_carrid INTO ls_sflight-carrid. ls_sflight-key = sy-index. CONDENSE ls_sflight-key. APPEND ls_sflight TO lt_sflight. CLEAR ls_sflight. ENDLOOP. lr_element = node->get_element( sy-tabix ). wd_node = lr_element->get_child_node( 'SFLIGHT' ). wd_node->bind_table( lt_sflight ). ENDLOOP. Step 4: Create the Layout and Bind the context to UI Elements L. Double Click on view layout tab. M. Click on ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER create element TABLE. N. Bind SPFLI node elements to the table as below. 0. Bind the texts Property of Carrid DropdownByIndex with MAIN.SPFLI.SFLIGHT.CARRID P. Create one action On_CARRID_SELECT. 2009 SAP AG 7
Q. Go to Methods tab. Select On_carrid_select method Double click on it. R. Copy the below code and Paste it. method ONACTIONON_CARRID_SELECT. DATA: lr_element TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element, lv_index_table TYPE i, lv_index TYPE i, lt_sflight TYPE wd_this->elements_sflight, ls_sflight TYPE wd_this->element_sflight, wd_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node, ls_spfli TYPE wd_this->element_spfli. *** Get row number from which dropdown value was selected lr_element = wdevent->get_context_element( 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT' ). lv_index_table = lr_element->get_index( ). wd_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'SPFLI' ). wd_node->set_lead_selection_index( index = lv_index_table ). *** Get the index of value within dropdown which is selected wd_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'SPFLI' ). wd_node->set_lead_selection_index( index = lv_index_table ). lv_index = wdevent->get_int( name = 'INDEX' ). *** Fetch all the dropdown values into an internal table wd_node = wd_context->path_get_node( 'SPFLI.SFLIGHT' ). CALL METHOD wd_node->get_static_attributes_table EXPORTING from = 1 to = 2000 IMPORTING table = lt_sflight. *** Obtain the value selected in the dropdown by the user using the index obtained READ TABLE lt_sflight INTO ls_sflight INDEX lv_index. wd_node->set_attribute( EXPORTING name = 'CARRID' value = ls_sflight-carrid ). SELECT SINGLE carrid connid countryfr cityfrom airpfrom countryto cityto airpto FROM spfli INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF ls_spfli WHERE carrid = ls_sflight-carrid. 2009 SAP AG 8
*** Fill the fetched values into the corresponding textfields of table wd_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'SPFLI' ). CALL METHOD wd_node->set_static_attributes EXPORTING index = lv_index_table static_attributes = ls_spfli. endmethod. Step 5: Create Application and Test it S. Now Create a WebDynpro Application and save and activate all. Output: 2009 SAP AG 9
