hi,

both are same. Create search help and use the word MATCHCODE to refer to this search help in your parameter or select-options.

Search Help:Provides a list of values from the database

provide the cursor on the respective fields and pressF4

for search help if it is a simple F4 it can check the tables

independently but it dont check the relation between the

tables i.e Primary key and foreign key.

Match codes: If it sis match codes objects first it can check

the tables independently later it can check the relation

between the tables also.With match codes objects can ovoid

data redundancy.

Hi,

search help:

adding f4 functionality is search help(adding help for any topic)

match code:

adding search help for the input field is called as mathcode object

Hi yogesh,

search help is something that we declare at field level & the F4 help appears everywhere where the field is used but matchcode is an addition which you can provide to selection screen fields to attach a search help explicitly for that particular field.

Best of luck,

Hi,

Both are same. Just create the search help in se11 and use that search help with your Parameters like this Suppose searc help you create is zsearch and you want to use this with parameter name of type c, than write PARAMETERS NAME(20) TYPE C MATCHCODE OBJECT ZSEARCH.

THIS WILL CREATE F4 HELP.

Hi ,

Now a days we are not using match codes .

match code objects provide permisable values of a table.

Check this url.
