Creation of Elementary Search Help:
The creation of an elementary search help is described below with example.

2. In the next screen select the option “ Elementary search help “ .
3. Now you need to provide the short text for your search help.
4. In the selection method provide the table or view name you want to use for data retrieval. Ex. ZMARA_01.
5. Select the dialog type according to your scope, ex. “ display values immediately’.
6. Then provide the search help parameters i.e. the interface parameters for the search help .
7. The ZMARA_01 table fields MATNR, ERSDA,MHDHB,MHDHT,MHDRZ are provided by selecting the table fields , by doing this the data elements for these fields are automatically copied to the interface from the selection method.
8. Now define the type of parameter ( import or export ) here for the selection and return of values in runtime.
9. Provide the positions to these parameters to specify how they will be arranged in the hit list display.
10. Now save the object in the respective development class and check the same for errors and then activate .Finally the creation of a ESH ( ex: ZSH004 ) is complete and can be used for providing the input help.
You can test the operation of your search help by clicking F8.
The appearance of your search help will be like the fig. provided below
