f4 help button not getting displayed

MNaveen — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 08:43:34 GMT

Hi,

I have unique problem it seems. I have atttached a explicit search help object for one of the fields in a local structure of type db table.. In standard selection screen i am defining a parameter of this field and have used "matchcode object" also to again specify the search help name. but on the selection screen when i press the f4 the search help comes but the button which shows that f4 help is provided does not come up..

Actually i have done my development in one system and button is shown up there.. later i transported it to a test system where the button does not show up...

Any answers will be very helpful

Thanks in advance.

Warm regards,

Naveen M

Could you try for once to attach some other field to your parameter or select-option field for which there is a standard search help attached.

Then once your F4 help button shows up replace with your original field and specified matchcode object.

It does behave strangely at times.

Revert with your results.
