Somewhere I got to know : these are the fields use to identify the selection number as you step through the suggestion list process.

But want to know how exactly it is working with example.

Hello Sagar,

With suggestion lists, there will be a list of possible addresses returned and with that list you will have to choose one.  You first could be given a list of lastlines (so cities/postcodes/states) returned to you to choose from.  You choose the appropriate one, and that gets passed back in via the suggestion_reply1 field, along with the values that were originally passed in.  This way the software knows what lastline information was chosen.  Then you choose an address line, then this number of the address line that was chosen from the list is sent back in via the suggestion_reply2 field etc.

To see an example of how these fields are used, you should look at the Data Quality blueprints.  These can be found on the SCN at http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-8820.

These are a series of jobs you can download that are simple examples of how to setup different data quality or text analysis scenarios in Data Services

Thanks,

Denise
