Custom Search Help

I have built a dynamic custom search help (3 search helps dynamically assigned to one non-dictionary field on a screen). The search help does not provide edit functionality for the field. It doesn't give the message "Entry XXX does not exist - check your entry" for values entered that are not on the drop-down. The search help uses a database view, since I need to set selection conditions. Is there any way to have the search help automatically edit the values?

Edit functionality(validating the entered values) is actually done either in PAI(in case of dialog programs) or in the 'At selection-screen' options(in case of report programs) or if it is a database field and the database field has a check table mentioned in the definition.

Search help is not the one that provides this functionality. It only gives you possible entries(F4). Validation should be handled as explained above.
