  The SAP error message IDCFM_FRIM_MSG026 indicates that a search help has not been defined for a specific field in a structure. This typically occurs when a user attempts to use a search help (F4 help) for a field in a transaction or program, but the system cannot find any associated search help for that field.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Search Help: The most common cause is that the search help has not been defined for the specified field in the structure.

  Check Existing Search Helps:
