Object name search help gives short-dump on some object types

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to tab Slinkee
2. Export object
3. Choose object type, from the BI plug-in for e.g. IOBJ or CUBE 
(ZSAPLINK_BI_IOBJ or ZSAPLINK_BI_CUBE)
4. Click on search help for 'object name'

The actions above results in a short dump

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No short-dump, but a good search help

What version of SAP are you using?
SAP_ABA Release / Level: All
SAP_BASIS Release / Level: All

What version of SAPlink are you using:
SAPlink 0.1.3

Please provide any additional information below.
The search help is shown via the function module 
REPOSITORY_INFO_SYSTEM_F4. This works well for most object types. 

However, other object types (at least the BI object types) cannot be 
called using the REPOSITORY_INFO_SYSTEM_F4 function module. For example 
the search help for BI InfoObjects ZSAPLINK_BI_IOBJ can be called by using 
function module RSD_IOBJ_F4.

I would suggest to introduce an instance method in which the search help 
function (REPOSITORY_INFO_SYSTEM_F4) is called. Then a subclass can 
redefine this method if needed (and call for e.g. RSD_IOBJ_F4).

Best regards,

Arjen,
Good catch and great suggestion. We will need to add a new instance method to 
the
ZSAPLINK root class for search help functionality that can be redefined if 
needed. 
The program will then need to be changed to call this new method instead of the
existing direct FM call.  

You have helped us a lot with this project, so if you would like to go ahead 
and work
on this as a core developer, you definitely have our blessing.  The best way 
would be
to check out the current code from the SVN repository, make the changes, and
create/submit a patch to us.  

Thanks again!
