Help Document
Diagnosis
When you make entries in the field "Search help" a search help is assigned to the input/output field being edited. This can happen either statically or dynamically.
In this case, you have made an invalid entry.
For static assignment purposes, a valid entry is the name of a search help which is defined in the ABAP Dictionary and also active.
For dynamic assignment purposes, a valid entry is the name of a global variable which is defined in the program/module pool and prefixed with a ':'. At runtime, the value of the variable is then interpreted as the name of the search help.
System Response
Input rejected.
Procedure
You can get a list active search helps from the R/3 Repository Information System or through possible entries in the ABAP Dictionary.
