Hi

What do you really need to do?

In generally a matchcode doesn't use any authorization-check, you need to create an exit if you need to use it into a matchcode.

Hi

The matchcode is an dictionary object to select an hit from a list, now it's called SEARCH HELP and you can find it by trx SE11.

AUTHORITY-CHECK is a statament to check if the user can do something, the authoriztion object are defined in ABAP WORKBENCH.

So you use it in your abap code:

  AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT <object>     
    ID name1  FIELD f1 
    ID name2  FIELD f2 
    ... 
    ID name10 FIELD f10.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 ----> User can't do it   
    ENDIF.

The value of authorizations for every user are inserted in the user profile (see trx PFCG).

So SEARCH HELP and AUTHORITY-CHECK are different object and there isn't a link between them.

Hi RK,

The AUTHORITY-CHECK checks whether a user has the appropriate authorization to execute a particular activity.

AUTHORITY – CHECK OBJECT <object name>

ID <name1> FIELD <f1>

ID <name2> FIELD <f2>

…

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.

For Matchcode (which is now called Search help) go to the link
