Hello,

Concerning Search help exits, I’ve encountered that I need to modify a Standard Search help, in this case “H_T880” so that it’s restricted by user. My solution would be to create an exit search function so that it would filter the data to the client’s needs. My question is.

<b>If I create an Exit search function ‘Z*’ and modify my standard search help ‘H_T880’ so that it uses my personal Exit function to filter.

Could/will SAP overwrite my modification with future updates or is this exit search function treated as user exits and it's maintained?</b>

If the answer is YES.

Is their a way to modify the search help without modifying the standard? (Throughout a user exit of some sort or something else)

Thank you very much for you attention.

Hi George,

The Search help exits would not be overwritten with future updates.

But in few cases like if we take an update from 3.1I to ECC5.0, in the earlier ver matchcodes were being used where as in ECC 5.0 search helps.Now matchcodes are obsolete so you need to re-write the changes in new version.

Regards,

Vinod.
