hi naga

Matchcodes are an obsolete version of Search Helps. Matchcodes served the same purpose as Search Help.

You first define the relevant tables and fields for the search in a matchcode object. A matchcode object describes the set of all possible search paths for a search string.

You then create one or <u><i><b>more matchcode IDs</b></i></u> for a matchcode object. A matchcode ID describes a special search path for a search string. The matchcode ID defines the fields or field combinations to be used in the search.

hi,

Matchcodes were replaced with Search Helps starting with Release 4.0. Please use search helps to assign an input help to a field.

Existing matchcodes were automatically converted to search helps. A matchcode object is hereby converted to a collective search help with the same name. Each matchcode ID of the matchcode object is converted into an elementary search help with the same name and assigned to the collective search help created from the matchcode object.

A matchcode is a means of finding data records stored in the system. The matchcode is defined in the ABAP Dictionary in two steps:

You first define the relevant tables and fields for the search in a matchcode object. A matchcode object describes the set of all possible search paths for a search string.

You then create one or more matchcode IDs for a matchcode object. A matchcode ID describes a special search path for a search string. The matchcode ID defines the fields or field combinations to be used in the search.

Hi Naga,

In Simple words it provides maximum possible values.

Match code object checks the database independently and then it checks the relationship between the tables, where as search help checks the database independently and it w'll not check the relationship between the tables.

A search help is a ABAP Dictionary object used to define possible values (F4) help (see Input Help in the ABAP Dictionary). You can link a search help to a parameter as follows:

PARAMETERS p ... MATCHCODE OBJECT search_help.

The search help search_help must be defined in the ABAP Dictionary. The system now automatically displays the input help button for the field on the screen and activates the F4 key for it. When the user requests input help, the hit list of the search help appears, and when he or she selects an entry, the corresponding export parameter is placed in the input field.

The predecessors of search helps in the ABAP Dictionary were called matchcode objects, hence the name of the addition, MATCHCODE OBJECT in the PARAMETERS statement. Existing matchcode objects are still supported.

REPORT sel_screen_parameters_mco.

PARAMETERS p_carrid TYPE s_carr_id

MATCHCODE OBJECT demo_f4_de.
