Match codes are very similar to search helps for a field but the only difference is that a match code is used with a selection screen field.

Match code is the older name for the search help which is provided by SAP for searching the values for a field

In SAP older versions it is called Match code and the newer versions like Ecc5 and Ecc6 it is called as Search help

can be created using SE11 tcode

see this

1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).

2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.

3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.

4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.

5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.

6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.

hi,

match code is nothing but Search help,which is useful for F4 help on selection screen.

U can create this, by T-code SE11.

Goto SE11.

select search help option, give name and create.

There are two types of search help.

Elementary

Collective

Elementary is on one table or structure abd collective is collection of elementary search help.

and u can use it like in ur report.

SELECTION-SCREEN:BEGIN OF BLOCK blk1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.

PARAMETERS:doc LIKE lips-vbeln MATCHCODE OBJECT zdel_typ.

SELECTION-SCREEN:END OF BLOCK blk1.

here zdel_typ is my elementary search help.

Hope it will helpful.

Match code is nothing but the Search help in Higher versions

It is same way from SE11 you have to create.

so from SE11 create it and use it.

Matchcode is nothing but search help, from 4.6c onwards matchcode replaced by search help.

Step1 : Go to Se11 and Select Search Help and Enter One Name and Click Create.

Step2 : Enter your Table name in 'Selection Method' Field.

Step3 : Enter the field Name and tick the Flags Imp and Exp and Type 1 and 2 in Lpos,

Spos fields.

Step4 : Save it and In se38 Write the Code Like This,

data Empname like Zemp-empname matchcode object [enter name that u Created].
