Please use a more informative subject line in future

how can a customized field get to have a loop-up like a search help? i didnt use a data element. is it really necessary ? because if i use a data element, it will get the data from that data element and not from my table.

If you use data element it wil ask for domain .

In domain we wil have check table then we can data from check table .

Its best practice to maintain Data element .

Hi,

For the custom field also you can create a search help using transaction SE11.

Hi,

Refer to My [Sample Code|; if you are using FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST than the internal table you are using to pass to that FM you must have all the variables type define in data dictionary if you will use like pernr type c it will not show this in the search help you can use pernr LIKE pa0001-pernr or pernr TYPE PERSNO

Please Reply if any Problem,

Kind Regards,

Faisal

When you define a field by <table name>-<field name> it does not link the data of that table to your field.

Instead the type of that field becomes similar to that field of the table

So rather than using the field name to declare a variable you can use data element.

And this way you can assure your code to work even if that table does not exist in some other client.

And you also find the search help available for that data element in your field.

Thanks & Regards,
