Creating application help

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

You must have seen a SAP Std. shortcut icon on the application toolbaar with "i" ( blue in color), when it is being clicked it brings up the abap documentation.

For exmaple open the SE37 and then open UPLOAD FM in display mode. All the way right side we have a button "FM Documentation" when clicked it displays abap documentation for this FM. I want to create this doc and wish to invoke it from a application toolbar icon.

can anyone tell me how to invoke that documentation, what FM is used, etc...

Thanks

Go to SE61 and create a general text TX.

u2022 Select General Text from Document Class

u2022 Select Language

u2022 Type Name and press create

Type in what you want to see in output

U1 is for the Bold Text you see in the heading of the F1 Help. If you donu2019t want to specify a bold text you can just type it in

the DOKTITLE in the function module called.

Save the Text.

Now Displaying the F1 Help.
