Definition

Matchcodes help you to search for data records stored in the system when the key of an object is required in an input field but you only know certain (non-key) fields.

A matchcode is defined on two levels:

  1. In a matchcode object, you first define the database section to be used to form the matchcode by specifying the relevant tables and fields.
  2. You derive matchcode IDs from the matchcode object by projection (field selection) and selection (specifying restrictive conditions).

Supplementary Documentation - CLASSMCO 0001

Use

You can maintain the assignment of matchcode objects to Dictionary authorization groups.

This allows you to restrict authorization for Dictionary maintenance of individual matchcode objects to a specific group of users/developers.

Procedure

  1. Mark with a cross, select object from the menu or press PF2.
  2. Generic entry of the object name and/or authorization group.
  3. Select PF key maintenance.
  4. Enter the authorization group in the relevant field.
  5. Save and press PF3 Back.
  6. Check authorization by carrying out a maintenance test.

Dependencies

You require authorization to maintain the associated tables TDDAx. If you do not have this authorization, the system branches automatically to display mode. There is also a lock function that prevents parallel assignment of authorization classes and Dictionary maintenance of the same objects. If this function is in place, only display mode is possible.

You can only enter allowed authorization groups. These are maintained under menu point Permitted_groups.
