Hi Abbu_sap
I am agree with Rock's answere.
go to utilities->table maintenance generator and delete it.
After it recreate it in a similar manner as you created earlier and save it.
it will work fine.
As I also do this every time I change the table and it works fine for me.
Thanks

How to disable a field in the table maintenance generator of a table

dear experts,
i have created a table with 2 fields A ,B . i had created table maintenance generator for the table. i am entering the values for the table through table maintenance generator . for filed A i had given dropdown list which contains only 2
entries YES & NO. my requirement is if i select YES in field A , field B should be in enable mode(it must take some input), if i select NO in field A, field B should be in disable mode ( it should not take any input).
kindly help me....
thanks & regards

Hi Krishna,
A further to the above, you can go to SE11 and in the table maintenance generator click on
Fn.Gr.Text button, then go to Main program.
Here you will see "User-defined Include-files (if necessary). "
Just uncomment the PAI include and put your code..to make the field editable or un-editable.
To do that you might have to go to the screen painter and change that screen, to include those fields in a group or something, so that you can control them better.

Include a field in the table maintenance generator

Hi All,
There is a Z table with MATNR and another numeric field and the table maintenance generator exists for the table. The requirement is to include another field for MAKTX ( Material description) in the table maintenance generator with input disabled. Is it possible to do the same in the table maintenance generator else please suggest me the best solution.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Srinivasa,
This is quite simple, first add the field MAKTX into the Table and activate it .
Now again generate the Table maintainence for the table.
from Table maintainence generator go to the main program
there click the screen maintained for Table maintainence generator .
in the Pbo of the screen write the following code.
assume table name is table1.
Loop at screen.
if screen-name = table1-maktx.
screen-input = '0'.
modify screen.
endif.
endloop.
this will automatically disable the material description field in the Table Maintainence Generator.
This is will solve your problem

Change in table maintenance generator

Hi All,
I have created one table. While creating data through table maintenace, if for values of nonkey fields are same then it should give some error?
How to achieve this functionality?
Regards,
Jeetu

For Performing validations for the table entries,
You can do the same in the events of table maintenance generrator...
Go to table maintenence screen->
On Menu->Modifications->Events-> Create a new event(05-For new entry)...and add the validation to be performed and check entries..
You have many events for before save.on save, after save etc..

What is the purpose of TABLE MAINTENANCE GENERATOR IN ABAP DDIC

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.
Why we have to go for Table maintenance generator, when we can edit the table by SE16 or SE11, utilities->create entries?
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:
1. When we choose one step, we have to give the screen number in Overview Screen field.
2. 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.
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).

Table Maintenance Generator - Change

Dear experts,
I hv created a TMC for customize table with field lifnr and name1. I am getting F4 for lifnr field and the requirement is
when i enter vendor code and press enter, the name field should be populated automatically from LFA1 table.
When I go in edit mode in TMC, it ask for access key. Can anyone guide me how to resolve above???
Regards,
Jasapl

Dear Jaspal,
To fetch the NAME1 automatically, you need to write the logic in the Table Maintenance Generator.
Goto -> Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator.
Inside TMG,
Goto -> Environment -> Modification -> Events.
Click -> New Entries. Create a Form Routine.
Inside the Form Routine,
Write the select Statement as,
Select single name1 from Lfa1
into name1.
save activate and execute the TMG,

How to use the table maintenance events for validating the input entries..?

Hi,
I have created a Z table with 6 fields in which all are KEY fields. All are of CHAR type. I have created the Table Maintenance Generator for the same. While maintaining the entries in the table, even though I maintain a blank entry for a field it is saving the entry. But, I don't want that way. All the fields are mandatory in my table. One should enter all the fields. Otherwise it should not allow to save the entry. So, I think it can be done using the Table Maintenance Events. can someone tell me how to use the Table Maintenance Events. and which event to use for my reuqirement and what is the logic to be written.
Or Is there any other way to solve my problem.
Please share your inputs. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
paddu.

In the table maintenance generator, Environment --> Modifications --> Events then a screen will be appear here,we need to create the Events.In the EVENTS screen, press new Entries, there give 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database) and give a name(This will become a PERFORM), then click the Editor pushbutton, this will be there at the right side of the entry, then a popup will be appear, you can create an include program, there inside of the include program write ur code.
Here is documentation for Event 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database )
Event 01: Before Saving the Data in the Database
Use
This event occurs before new, changed or deleted entries are written to the database. Other activities can be performed, for example:
hidden entry processing
fill hidden fields
flag data to be written to hidden tables after the database change.
To have the changes saved by the central maintenance dialog routines, SY-SUBRC must be set to 0 at the end of the routine.
Realization
This event has no standard routine. The following global data is available for the realization of the user routine:
internal table TOTAL
field symbols
field symbols <ACTION> and <ACTION_TEXT>
<STATUS>-UPD_FLAG
If internal table data are to be changed before saving, t he changes should be made in both the internal table TOTAL and in the internal table EXTRACT.
FORM abc.
DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX. "Index to note the lines found
LOOP AT TOTAL.
IF <ACTION> = desired constant.
READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
ELSE.
CLEAR F_INDX.
ENDIF.
(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
MODIFY TOTAL.
CHECK F_INDX GT 0.
EXTRACT = TOTAL.
MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM.

How to create table maintenance generator?

Dear Sir/Madam,
when i am creating table maintenance generator , it asks for function group
i give 0MB8 , it says u r going to change function group which does not belongs to u,
then i created a function group yfg9 and given , it then says yfg9 cannot be processed.
please telll me how to create the table maintenance generator for maintenance view yv_mmim_rep_cust.
Thanks in advance,
Dastagiri

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.

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.

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

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.

Add field in table maintenance generator screen of maintenance view

Hi,
I am having a table with field user-id. I want to generate a maintenance view which will have corresponding user name as input disabled field. Since there are two tables USR21 and ADRP I need to access(not a direct check table) I will have to modify the code generated by the table maintenance generator.
Problem is that it is having one internal table EXTRACT at table control loop. That internal table cannot be accessed if you write a module inside the table control loop and try to catch. The error coming as EXTRACT is not object of structure and therefore no component. I tried to capture the value of the Loop but could not be successful. Any suggestion please.
Thanks,
Atanu

'Position' Button in Table Maintenance Generator

Hi,
i am using 'Position' button to navigate to particular entry in the table in table maintenance generator.
as far as i know this will correctly when we provide 'left part' of key in the pop up provided by position button.
however in my case where i changed the column positions in the table maintenance generator which includes key fields.
does it going to affect 'Position' functionality? because position button is not taking me to correct positions now.
please suggest....

Did you change the key field order in the table structure in SE11 or did you manipulate the table maintenance screens by changing the key column order?
In either case, you can regenerate table maintenance by clicking the change button in SE55 and selecting all check boxes. This will correct the issue. However, check if you have any custom events written or modified screens, as those changes will have to be restored after regeneration

I have created a Table Maintance program through the Table Maintenance Generator. And for that I have assigned a t code.
I can able to create new entires but i can not able to modify Valid_from and Valid_to entries of existing records.
Initially those two fields were in display mode but i went to its module pool program and made then as input enabled. But what the vales I was entering, its not getting saved in database. When we change the values of those fields and save it, the system is saying No Data Change.
Any inputs how to solve this issue. I can not make VALID_FROM and VALID_TO fields as non key.
Regards,

Hi,
As you have already said that the value for valid to is a part of the key so you should not have any issues when this value is changed and the value is saved using the table maintainence generator, but in case you want to save values where the value for valid from has changed but the key is same we would not be able to save as there is already a value for the key, so if you want to save these values there are two ways 1 would either to delete the existing value value and create the new value or to have one more field as the key field like a counter so when the value is saved with a key the value is saved with counter as 1 and then ever next time for the new values increase the value of the counter.
In order to save these values use event 5 and put you code there.
You can also carry out checks for new aithorization in that event also.

Himanshu

Event for input validation in custom table (table maintenance generator)

Hello all,
I look for a solution to execute an event after the modification of a table field of a custom table to validate the user's input.
I already tried event 07 (Execution : Before correcting the contents of a selected field) of the table maintenance generator but it will be executed after some modification made by the Edit -> Change field action.
I could use the event 01 but in my opinion this event happens to late and errors are very uncomfortable for the user at that time.
Editing the dynpro events is not a solution for me because it should be easy to maintain the table structure at any time.
Thank you in advance
Robert

Thank you!
Event 08 just starts after the saving process after Event 07.
Event 18 gets executed when I click on the save button.
I want to check the data after the enter button was pressed as you can see it in several transactions.

New field not reflecting in Table maintenance generator

Hi Experts,
I have added a new field in a ztable.I regenerated the table maintenance generator,so that the new field is reflecting in devlopment system , also a TR got created.When i moved this TR to pre-production system new fields are reflecting in the structure of table but not in table maintenance generator.
Please suggest solutions.
Regards,
Niranjan

Hi Experts ,
I have gone through the steps which is mentioned.But still issue is pending,the changes in TR are not reflecting in pre prod.
Error after moving the TR with "Definition of a Maintenance and Transport Object".
The current ABAP program "SAPLSVIM" had to be terminated because it has
come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
The following syntax error occurred in program "SAPLZFGL " in include "LZFGL$03

Reasign authorisation group at table maintenance generator

Hi All,
I have a table, assigned with authorisation group as &NC&. Now I need to change to authorisation group created newly.
If i change with newly created authorisation group in table maintenance generator level.
My Qus:1. Need to generate the table maintenance generator for this again.
2. Will it affect the users assigned to authorisation group.
3. Wht i need to do to change this, and wht are its effects if i change the authorisation group.

Hi,
If the user is not assigned for the role he has to be assigned for that role.
one role is assigned to authorization group.
basis consultants will add the role of that group to that particular user.
otherwise he cant change the entries of the table.
so consult basis consultant for security role assignment.
Thanks
