Problem with matchcode for my select-options in selection screen

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I used this for my selection screen...

SELECT-OPTIONS: s_arbpl FOR crhd-arbpl OBLIGATORY.

SELECT-OPTIONS: s_matnr FOR mseg-matnr.

SELECT-OPTIONS: s_dates FOR crhd-begda OBLIGATORY.

but there is no match code s_arbpl while other have?

what would be the reason for this? Thanks a lot!

Rgds,

No Implicit Search help attached in the dictionary reference. You can check the same in transaction SE11.

1. Open table in SE11
2. Select tab Entry Help/Check

You can see that no search help is attached to field ARBPL. You can use search help explicitly something like: > SELECT-OPTIONS: s_arbpl FOR crhd-arbpl MATCHCODE OBJECT cram.

Thanks Eswar...

How would I know which matchcode object will I use if I want a search help for the field arbpl? Thanks so much...

Just a follow up question... Is search help dependent on the table or its data element dependent? Thanks!

Via SE11 do a where-used list of Search Helps on data element ARBPL. From the list try to find a suitable one. We can have different search helps in different tables for the same data element. Also we can have possible values from Domain i.e Value Table
