The only problem with an error handler is it considers the error handled and allows processing to continue. I guess in the case of a Set Fields lookup AL there may not be additional processing but it is something to consider.
Actually I have never tried an error handler in this context. I don't think you can. It isn't a transaction error it is a "fiddling with the screen" error. How would you associate the AL with the error handler Filter?
