Basically lookup is nothing but data type having records stored and obj browse also fetches records so how is it different from lookup?
The only Lookup I can think of is as a configuration for a data page source. Is this the lookup that you are comparing to Obj-Browse?
Obj-Browse is a method that can be used in an activity to search instances of a class and copy instances, or specified properties, to the clipboard as an array of embedded pages. The Obj-Browse method selects instances based on values of properties exposed as a columns, so you can use it to define a complex selection criteria and choose which fields you want to select. It is well documented below.
Lookup, when used as the source of a data page allows you to lookup an instance from a class based on the key value.
I am not exactly sure of the scenario where you would be comparing the functionality. Could you provide some further details?
Lookup is used to get only one record which is a kind of obj open or obj open by handle. Browse is to get multiple records based on the filter condition.
