Hello Sai Charan!

It's quite hard to give an opinion on such topic without knowing the whole scenario and what you'd have to put in your "custom screen".

My first suggestion is to verify if a standard (or custom) search help can satisfy all the requirements: it's way easier than maintaining a custom screen.

If you have to put some heavy logics behind it, well, let's check them.

As general rule and suggestion, more information and details you share with the Community, more easy it's for the Community to understand the issue and address you on the right path.
You question is quite generic, at the moment, and all we can tell you is... do it! 🙂
Not really useful, right? 😉

Create a seach help with only a search help exit FM. execute/call your code/dynpro in this FM.

Hint: For standard samples, look for search help without structure/method but an exit FM (View DD30V, selection on fields SELMETHOD and SELMEXIT)

Like Simone said, without an exact picture of what you want to achieve there are too many options.

You could do as Raymond said or you could go the way of adding the code for what you want to see in your search help and collecting it in an internal table and use FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST to show the result.

You can directly provide a module for this field for VALUE-REQUEST and then do whatever you want.
