Atul, A little more information would help. I’m assuming your Default Entry ID is set to REQ000000000000. So searching for Record # REQ000000004567 by typing 4657 in the Entry ID filed and searching is all you need to do to retrieve REQ000000004567.
Now if you are trying to do something else then you need to make a zTMP_Entry_ID field ( display Only). Do a SET field action in a current AL. Use LPAD($1$,15, “REQ000000000000”) to set zTMP_Entry_ID with REQ000000004567 when you type 4567 in the Entry ID field. Then you can use the REQ000000004567 in a search or push or other client side action. The zTMP_Entry_ID is needed because you can’t to a SET Fields action to $1$. Hop[e this makes sense.
