HI

GUD

SEARCH HELP=>

With this function you can search for objects, thereby defining and linking different selection conditions for the search help.

MATCHCODE OBJECT->

A matchcode is a means of finding data records stored in the system. The matchcode is defined in the ABAP Dictionary in two steps:

You first define the relevant tables and fields for the search in a matchcode object. A matchcode object describes the set of all possible search paths for a search string.

You then create one or more matchcode IDs for a matchcode object. A matchcode ID describes a special search path for a search string. The matchcode ID defines the fields or field combinations to be used in the search.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/cf/21ef1f446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm

BOTH THESE LINKS GIVE YOU DETAILS HOW TO CREATE THE RESPECTIVE THINGS.

THANKS

Hi,

MATCH CODES are the older versions of SEARCH HELP.

technically there is no difference at all.

in older versions, search help were called as match codes

while declaring parameters and select-options

parameter p type i MATCH-CODE OBJECT (something).

the above type of declaration only is still used to assign a field to a search help.

Please ref to http://help.sap.com in ABAP Dictionary section.Starting from 4.6c you can create only search helps.

rgds,
