What do you really need to do?

In generally a matchcode doesn't use any authorization-check, you need to create an exit if you need to use it into a matchcode.

Hi RK,

The AUTHORITY-CHECK checks whether a user has the appropriate authorization to execute a particular activity.

AUTHORITY – CHECK OBJECT <object name>

ID <name1> FIELD <f1>

ID <name2> FIELD <f2>

…

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.

For Matchcode (which is now called Search help) go to the link

Reward points if this helps.

The matchcode is an dictionary object to select an hit from a list, now it's called SEARCH HELP and you can find it by trx SE11.

AUTHORITY-CHECK is a statament to check if the user can do something, the authoriztion object are defined in ABAP WORKBENCH.

So you use it in your abap code:

  AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT <object>     
    ID name1  FIELD f1 
    ID name2  FIELD f2 
    ... 
    ID name10 FIELD f10.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 ----> User can't do it   
    ENDIF.

The value of authorizations for every user are inserted in the user profile (see trx PFCG).

So SEARCH HELP and AUTHORITY-CHECK are different object and there isn't a link between them.
