What is the difference between help view and search help

[seshatalpasai_madala]

Hi,

Helpview is a view that is created to be used as a selection method for a search help.

Its a Database view.

Where as Search help is a DDIC component created to fetch the data from this view using some selection criteria.

Serach help is what that gives you F4 help.

Helpview can be the source of data for a search help.

Hi, help view is difft frm serach help in ths manner

Help View ( SE54)

Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called.

When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view.

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

Hi,

Help view is created mainly as a selection method for a search help. You can join multiple tables in a help view.

The selection criteria for a search help will have to be passed through the input parameters and default values. You can also specify parameter ids in the default values column.

HI

search help - F4 help. for one field we are creating help with one table(check table).

in se11 , when u create search help selection method can be help view or any DBtable.

help view - it is used as selection method for search help.

when u create help view u can create this view for only one table with n no of fields.

the help view created by u can be given as selection method in search help creation.

reward if useful.
