Hi,

Matchcodes and Search helps are the SAP provided search engine like tool to search the values for a field

see the doc of search helps which is similar to match codes

1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).

2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.

3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.

4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.

5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.

6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.

CREATION:

Go to SE11 Tcode

select search help

give the 'z' search help name and create

select the selection method ur table name eg : 'mara'

dialog module 'display value immediately'.

add the field whatever u want and lpos = 1 and spos = 1 and check import and export parameter.

where left position when displaying and spos = search position

and then save and activate ..

hi ,

Follow the steps :

Creation of Elementary Search Help:

The creation of an elementary search help is described below with example.

1. Open TCode – SE11 for DDIC objects -> select the radio button for Search helps -> give the name of the search help you want to create, ex – ZSH004.Click on Create .

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.

Hope this will be of help !
