when it is mentioned as search help and F4 help , are they same.

i mean we create F4 help in reports for fields using function modules.

is this the same as search helps created in dictionary.?

Thanks in advance

hi,

This is one and same thing.

the search help created in program is not global. so you can use it in only that program.

but in DDIC u created ..it can be used where ever you use that type of field.

hope i made it clear.

Reward if helpful.

Regards

Azad.

Search help you create in SE11 and associate it with the screen field.

How ever you can code in At-selection-screen on value request event to do the same purpose.

Both are different, search help s a DDIC object.

Hi..

These two are Not Same.

Search Helps are Data dictionary Objects, which are used to provide F4 Help for any field in a User-friendly manner.

Steps: 1. Create a Search help

2. Attach a Search help

a) In Data Element We can attach

b) In Table field We can attach

c) For Screen field We can Attach (High priority)

Eg: PARAMETERS: P_KUNNR TYPE KNA1-KUNNR

matchcode id ZCUS.

Here ZCUS is the Search help

But we can Generate F4 help without using Seach helps in the POV event

Eg:

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON value-request FOR p_kunnr.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_DISPLAY'
