Hi,

What does '=' sign in search help field of a F1 help on a screen field mean?

Hi,

This is functionality left over from matchcodes, and was more widely used in R/2 on mainframe terminals.

If I enter =CI* into (say) a material number field and hit enter, it will list all materials that start with CI. The equals sign bypasses any field validation and instead runs the matchcode.

Regards,

Nick

I think, my question was not so clear. Let me explain the scenario.

- Goto XD03

- Use F1 on the customer account number field

- See the technical details of the field.

- Here, you will see '=' sign in the search help field. I am asking, What is this?

Vishy.

Hi Vishwanath,

by giving '=' in search help field, it only gives an user that there is standard F4 help availabe for that fileld.
