A search help is a ABAP Dictionary object used to define possible values (F4) help. You can link a search help to a parameter as follows:

PARAMETERS <P> .. MATCHCODE OBJECT <SEARCH_HELP>.

The search help <search_help> must be defined in the ABAP Dictionary. The system now automatically displays the input help button for the field on the screen and activates the F4 key for it. When the user requests input help, the hit list of the search help appears, and when he or she selects an entry, the corresponding export parameter is placed in the input field.

The predecessors of search helps in the ABAP Dictionary were called matchcode objects, hence the name of the addition in the PARAMETERS statement. Existing matchcode objects are still supported.
