Hi everyone,
Could any one tell me the exact use of search help exit in search help?

What exactly would be the effect in search helps with & without use of search help exit?

Hello

Search help exit is a function module which enables you to put custom logic into a search help.

Lets say that on Mondays you want to retrieve data from table ZMonday and on Saturdays from ZSaturday. Search help exit will allow you to do that.

For example, check this search help exit function: BBP_ATTR_F4_EXIT_USER

This is an FAQ in my opinion. There are many good articles, with example code and screen shots etc, here for example is one:

Hi Bharath,

As you know, 'Selection Method' in fact ask you input a database table, in which those content will directly show on F4 help, right?

While 'Search help exit' allow you input a function, in this function you can programmatically extract data from databbase and control those content at different steps. refer this link, http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Implementing+Search+Help+Exits

You can only use 'Selection Method' or only use 'Search help exit', or use both together.

Archer
