About table maintenance generator

hi,
1. why we have to give a function group name while creating table maintenance generator for a ztable.
2. while creating tmg we have to check one of the radio button under recording routine. wht does recording routine means?

Hi,
Function Group - this will create a default main program where you can store the
events for the table maintainence.( where you can write the code for the table
maitainece)
standard recording - when the changes in the table maitainence automatically it will create request for the data to transport.
no recording - this will not create request(when you don't require the data in
Development server to transported to testing or Testing - to -Production.
atthat time you can select the radio button foe NO RECORDING.

Purpose of table maintenance generator

wht is the purpose of table maintenance generator

Hi Pavan,
The purpose of table maintainence generator is to enable the table maintenance through SM30, and to implement and validation etc on table field inputs.
SE11->Utillities->table maintainence generator
You need to enter the values of following fields:
1. Table name
2. Authorization group , and authorization object (select the suitable one )
3. Function group and package
4. Maintainence type : single or double screen maintainence view depending on the option selected.
5. Maintain screen number : you may specify a value or let the system generate one for you.
The validation code for the table entry is written in the flow logic of this screen. Even some of the fields may be made display only , by adding suitable code in the logic or directly disabling the input in table control in the layout.
Table maintanance is for creating,adding datas to an existing table.
it is for adding muiltiple records at a time in the table
A table can be manipulated by a program or manually.
When creating table, you will find a check box 'Table maintenance allowed'. If we
check that option, we can manually enter entries using SE16 or table
maintenance generator screen.
SE16 is for data browser.
Go to SE11, give the table name and click on change. Then Go to utilities--> Table
maintenance generator.
In the table maintenance generator screen, we should give Authorization Group,
Function Group name (Function Group name can be same as table name),
Maintenance type can be one step or two step, usually we will create with one
step. we should give maintenance screen number. After clicking on create button,
a table maintenance generator will be created.
To check it go to SM30 . In SM30, we find display, Maintain options.
We can view the table contents by choosing Display and we can create table
entries by choosing Maintain.
In the production system, end-users will not be having access to transaction
codes like SE11 and SE16. Developers will not be having access to many
transaction codes including the above two.
To view the contents of the database table, we will use SE16n in Production
system. Please find out the difference between SE16 and SE16n.
All these authorizations will be maintained by BASIS team, by creating access
profiles.
So in order to edit or create the contents of a database table, we should go for
table maintenance generator. In real time, authorizations will be maintained in
production system. (even in development and Test systems to some extent).
There is an audit like Sarbanes-Oxley Act for American clients, where every thing
will be audited by government agency. To know more about SOX, use the links on
the right hand side of this page.
The second reason is, we can edit or create multiple entries at a time, using table
maintenance generator.
Apart from that we have options like 'Enter conditions' in table maintenance
screen SM30. Please try to find out the use of those, by creating an example.
Table Maintenance generator: Difference between one step and two steps.
While creating table maintenance generator, we find below options:
When we choose one step, we have to give the screen number in Overview Screen field.
When we choose two step, we have to give both overview screen number and single screen number.
You can give any number for screen. Dont give 1000 screen number. As this
number is reserved for selection screen.
When we choose two step, two screens will be created for table maintenance. For
single step only one screen will be created.
When we choose two step, table maintenance will work as follows
Go to SM30, give the table name for which you have created table maintenance-
Overview screen will be displayed. To create entries, when you click on new
entries. Another screen will be displayed, where you give input and save. You can
enter one record at a time.
Go to SM30; give table name for which you have created table maintenance-
Overview screen will be displayed; To create entries click on new entries, you can
enter the records on the same screen. You can enter multiple records at a time.
We use single step generally, as it is user friendly.
To completely understand the difference and above points please do exercise by
creating table maintenance generator in both ways (using single step and two
step).

One step, two step in Table Maintenance Generator
Single step: Only overview screen is created i.e. the Table Maintenance Program will have only one screen where you can add, delete or edit records.
Two step: Two screens namely the overview screen and Single screen are created. The user can see the key fields in the first screen and can further go on to edit further details.

EVENT problem in Table maintenance generator

Hello all
             I m working on 4.6C sytem. I m facing 2 problems in events in table maintenance generator
(1) I am using 04 event (After deleting records from table)   I have written BREAK-POINT in the Form .....ENDFORM... But the control doesnt stop there , when i select an existing record and press delete record button? not able to understand this
(2) When i implement even t 03( Before deleting records from table) , and select an existing record and press delete record button . Control successfully Go to corresponding FORM ...   BREAK-POINT ENDFORM .
But now the problem is.. in debuggin i can see the contents in TOTAL table but when i try to code LOOP at TOTAL ..ENDLOOP...it gives me syntax error saying " table TOTAL doesnot exists or not defined..but similar field TOTAL_S , TOTAL_M , TOTAL_L exists.. ???
how come i can see the same during debugging but cannot code it ?
Plese help
Nilesh

Hi Nilesh,
(1) I think the control will stop there after you delete AND save. Not sure about that but give it a try.
(2) I believe you are trying to access fields inside table TOTAL, is that right?
Actually you have to declare a work area with your Z table type.
DATA: w_workarea type ztable.
LOOP at total.
w_workarea = total.
endoop.
Then you can work with w_workarea.
Best regards.

Table maintenance Generator + Tcode for SM30

Hi,
I have created a table maintenance generator for a Z table. Then I created a transaction from SE93 for SM30 and passing table name as parameter.
My requirement is that the user should only be able to delete records from the Z table. It should not allow to insert or modify records.
When I execute the transaction created above it is allowing to insert, modify and delete records from Z table.
How to solve this issue? Please help.
Thanks in advance....
Regards,
Sriram

Hi Sriram,
I don't know why your language has changed to German. When I change status ZULG, the language remains English.
To see what happens I have created new maintenance screens and I went into the Modification --> User Interface.
On the next screen I pressed Copy User Interface and after that I got a warning about diferent languages. I just pressed enter. Now the popup screen gives me the possibility to change the interface. I went straight into change mode, without switching to individual interface. I changed status ZULG (everything is in German), activated the status and returned to SE55.
When I start SM30 , all texts are in German.
Because this is not what you and I want, I started again, I deleted my table maintance and created it again. Went into the modification of user interface again and again copied the user interface. Now I went into change mode and I looked at my user interface (in display mode) and all texts are in German. Went back to the strat screen of the menu painter, ACTIVATED THE USER INTERFACE and now, when I change the status ZULG, all texts are in English.
So, all you need to do is activate the user interface before you change it.
When you have a 2-screen table maintenance (an overview and a detail screen), you might want to change status ZUDG as well.
Kind regards, I hope you succeed this time around.
Tom.

From what I know it can be done through customer ABAP program transaction code but not from Table maintenance generator generated Tcode.
Any suggestion?

Hi ,
Table Maintenance generator is used to maintain data in table , instead of giving access to se11 , we create a tcode for this table maintenance generator and we will give this tcode to end-user to maintain data
To generate table Maintenance generator :
click on UTILITIES in menu bar
-> table maintenance generator
-> enter Authorization Group as : &NC&
-> Enter Function Group : name of your table ( so it will create a function group , to check this function group go to tcode se80 : then select function and enter your Table name )
-> Then click on find screen numbers in Application tool bar.
-> Then click on create button in Application tool bar
if it is created successfully , then you will get a status message like table maintained generator is created successfully.

Addition of a new column in Table Maintenance Generator

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I have to include a new field in Table Maintenance Generator . This field is not present in the table but its data will be fetched from another table . Pls help me in this regard.
I have little idea of Table control .
Regards,
Nibha

Hi Nibha,
Table maintenance generator screen is an automatically generated screen. You cannot to any changes in that and neither can you do the changes in the PBO and/or PAI.
You can do it but it will ask you for SAP key etc. So there's not need to do it that way.
What you could do is;
1. Go to the table maintenence generator from SE11, in Change Mode.
2. Click on change icon. The system will show the 'Change Generation Elements' screen where it sill ask you the resson
    for change.
3. Click on the New Field/Sec. table in struction (or whichever is appropriate/applicable in your case)
4. Press Ok (Tick sign).
5. Then it will show you the ''Change Generation Elements: Detail' screen.Here;
       => You will select the maintenance screen that you wish to change( Overview/Single).
       =>   And the Field Type. Whether it is a key field or normal field.
              Select which ever is applicable.
6. The system will then re-generate the screen for you and - You'll Smile! - that you got the answer!
Cheers!

Table Maintenance Generator : Editable Entry after validation fails

Hi,
I have created a Z table and a table maintenance generator to maintain the data.
I have to carry out certain validations when user enters data on Key and Non- key fields.
This is working fine, but the issue is with the key fields.
If validation fails, the table maintenance screen is displayed the date-field is grayed out (non-editable) as it is the key field of the table.
Now the user cannot change the data unlike the non-key fields were the user can modify the non-valid data and save again.
How can make the date field (Key Field) editable after entry in case the validation fail, so that the user can make the changes.
Please suggest the approach to handle the above scenario in events.
Thanks,
Keyur

Thanks Kiran for your inputs.
I have done the same thing what you have explained.
I have used a Form Routine as CIP_SAVE with Event Number as 01, since on event SAVE i need to validate whether dates are
overlapping the inputs dates or not.
Fields are :
Group ID (Key)
Start Date (Key)
End Date (Key)
Value (Non -Key)
Initial value in Table:
Group ID = 12345
Start Date = 01/01/2011
End Date = 01/31/2011
Value = 11.11
Now if i try to enter value:
Group ID = 12345
Start Date = 01/02/2011
End Date = 01/25/2011
Value = 99.99
& SAVE it... validation will fails because Start & End dates overlaps.
Hence, on Table Maintainance Screen all key fields will be in non-editable display mode, whereas non-key field will be in editable mode.
My requirement is that Start Date & End Date key fields must be Editable field.
Thanks.

Event 03 in table maintenance generator

Hello All,
I have created a event 03 in table maintenance generator. Because I need to check if the deleted key is still referenced in an other table.
I tried the following code, but only if I use the message the entry will not be deleted.
MOVE uebergehen TO <mark>.
MODIFY total INDEX sy-tabix.
<xmark> = <mark>.
MODIFY extract INDEX nextline.
IGNORED_ENTRIES_EXIST = abap_true.
* MESSAGE e000 WITH 'Entry not allowed to delete'.
Thanks in advance.
Marcus

had to put it in a generic form, hope it still works:
FORM event_03.
TYPES: BEGIN OF typ_extract,
           zview TYPE zview,   "or ztable, the one with the maintenance dialog!
           flags TYPE vimtbflags,
         END OF typ_extract.
DATA: ls_extract TYPE typ_extract.
* loop at marked lines
LOOP AT extract INTO ls_extract.
    CHECK ls_extract-flags-vim_mark EQ 'M'.
*   place existence check here!
*   using the values in ls_extract-zview-...
*   if value still being used, send message
    IF sy-dbcnt > 0.
      MESSAGE i...
      ls_extract-flags-vim_mark = '*'.
      MODIFY extract FROM ls_extract.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.
