Hi

<b>Standard Search Help</b>

The input help (F4 help) is a standard function of the R/3 System. It permits the user to display a list of possible values for a screen field. A value can be directly copied to an input field by list selection.

The fields having an input help are shown in the R/3 System by the input help key to the right of the field. This key appears as soon as the cursor is positioned on the corresponding screen field. The help can be started either by clicking on this screen element or with function key F4.

If the number of possible entries for a field is very large, you can limit the set of displayed values by entering further restrictions.

Further meaningful information about the displayed values is included in the display of possible entries, especially if the field requires that a formal key be entered.

<b>TYPES OF SEARCH HELPS</b>

<b>Elementary search helps</b>

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).

<b>Collective search help</b> Combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.

<b>Reward if useful</b>
