Documentation
Definition
You can assign search helps either statically or dynamically.
- Static assignment:
Enter the name of the search help.
- Dynamic assignment:
Enter a colon (:) followed by the name of a (program) field. The content of the field is interpreted at runtime as the name of a search help.
Search helps with several parameters
If you specify a search help with several parameters, the first parameter of the search help is linked to the screen field. It is not (currently) possible to link further search help parameters to other screen fields. Instead, you can use the function in the ABAP Dictionary that allows you to link a search help to a field of a structure.
Reaction to the =- short notation
If you have specified a search help, entering =- at the beginning of a field has a special meaning. The screen reacts to any function code by calling the F4 help for the field.
You can cause the same reaction without a search help by just entering the equals (=) sign.
