You must first create the object, but since it is not put in an event, it is not triggering the CREATE OBJECT. Modify like so.

  data : disp_help type ref to l_display_help.
  intialization.
       create object disp_help.
  at selection-screen on help-request for p_awerk.
       call method disp_help->m_display_help( ).

or.........

  data : disp_help type ref to l_display_help.

  at selection-screen on help-request for p_awerk.
    if   disp_help is initial
          create object disp_help.
    endif..
    call method disp_help->m_display_help( ).
