Hi nilesh,

1. We have to assign search help at the table level, at the corresponding field, in se11.

2. First make your own Z/Y search help

3. Then in se11, when u assign search help,

the system will propose default,

which u can neglect, and give ur own search help.

Only the options Automatic and Dictionary Search Help are relevant for ABAP Dictionary search help:

· Automatic

The search help assigned to the data type of the context attribute in the ABAP Dictionary is used. Example: the search help SCITAIRP is assigned to the SPFLI-AIRPFROM field in the ABAP Dictionary. If the type of context attribute is SPFLI-AIRPFROM, the SCITAIRP search help is used.

The search help is displayed under Determined Search Help and cannot be changed. The search help displayed for the example here is SCITAIRP.

If no search help can be determined for the attribute type, no search help symbol is displayed and no search help can be performed.

· Dictionary Search Help

One search help from the Dictionary can be assigned to the context attribute. Beneath the Input Help Mode field the Dictionary Search Help field appears, in which you can enter the search help you want. The search help must be defined in the ABAP Dictionary. If you do not enter a search help, at runtime the system attempts to determine a search help using the type of context attribute.

Please have a look at below link. It may help you.
