Documentation

Definition

A matchcode object combines all the fields you can use as search terms for accessing a table in the case of an unknown primary key. This means that you can not only draw on the fields that match your search criteria, but also construct search terms that use fields from other tables where those fields are related to the table you want to search (i.e. (foreign key) relationships are defined in the ABAP Dictionary between the tables used in the matchcode object). The table with the primary key you use in the search is described as the primary table. Any additional tables included in the matchcode object since they contain fields you use in search terms are considered as secondary.
