Help view is created mainly as a selection method for a search help. You can join multiple tables in a help view.

The selection criteria for a search help will have to be passed through the input parameters and default values. You can also specify parameter ids in the default values column.

Hi Ravi,

Help view is used for search help.

You can use only projection view and database view in your ABAP program.

Search helps are of two types:

Elementary and collective.

Hello Ravi,

When u press F4 for any field there is a predefined process within SAP for displaying possible values. It checks if u have coded F4 module in ur screen program. If not then it will check if there is a check table. If yes then It will look for help view if available and display accordingly if already existing. If not then it continue with the process of looking out a method to display the values.
