1. You need to do this at the data element level to to able to get the F1 help for a field on the screen, remember that the screen field should reference the data element too.

2. You will need to use the class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT for using the text edit functionality.

Check this demo program SAPTEXTEDIT_DEMO_1 in your system

Hi Ronny,

2. I want to use a control for NOTES.

It is not necessary to create the help at the data element level. There is an event called PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST in dialog programs which is trigerred when you press F1 on the input/output field. Thry the event.

For displaying text with 2-3 lines or more there could be many ways:

1. use popup: FM POPUP_WITH_TABLE_DISPLAY with the help contents formatted and entered in the table.

2. User Class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT to display a text area.
