Hi..

We cannot use The Run(to display the contents) for Help view.

Help view can only used while Creating Search helps..

It cannot be used in programs or to display the Data in SE11 also.

In your case you create a Database view ... You will be able to Run it...

Hi

->If the selection method for a search help is a database view, the input help displays only the records for which there are entries in all the tables involved in the view (inner join). The set of possible entries is sometimes described by the entries in a primary table for which additional optional information can be added from further secondary tables. This view on the data can be implemented with a help view. The same outer join logic is used for help views as for maintenance views.

->A help view is defined analogously to a maintenance view. Help views can only be used as selection methods in search helps. Since the R/3 System cannot pass the selection directly to the database using a help view, it must generate its own access routines. The database view should therefore be used as selection method in preference to the help view.

->Selection using a table and text table corresponds to selection using a virtual help view. For this reason, a virtual help view should not be created in this case. Exception: The table contains a field having the same name as a non-key field of the text table. If this field of the text table is needed in the search help, you have to create a help view on the two tables because the field in the search help cannot be accessed directly.
