Hi there

for city there is no search help attached.. so you need to create a search help (search scn)

and

parameter ctname like scustom-city default 'Sydney' matchcode object '<your custom search help name>'.

Hi, Thanks for the quick response.

What i want is , In my selection screen there is a parameter City Name, My report is working fine without any problem if i type in the name of the city. what i am trying to do is or want to do is...place a matchcode button and that match code button should be connected to the customer field city name. clicking on that matchcode button should display the name of the cities from customer table

is it possible ? if yes how can i achieve this. all the forums say link the f4 help to the parrameter there are two problems.

1. i donot know how to achieve this

2. i think may be i donot have access to create f4 help link.

any ideal or clues ?

thanks

There you go.. you need to pass on this information to you security team and let them handle it for you.

Also [check this WIKI|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/HowToCreateSearchHelp+Exit] for more details.
