Date fields in the Maintainence View.

Question

Hello friends,
               I created a maintanence view which of 2 steps. This view contains a DATE field of data element type 'DATS". Now the problem is -"
1. In the first screen  of the viewI am not able to see only the DATE field(Over view scr).
2. But I able to see the same field in the 2nd screen(Maintanence Screen).
Not only to my View I maintained ' Table Maintanence Generator" to some more tables.There also I am not able to see the date field in the first screen, unless it is a key field.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Step 1: Create & Maintain Table (SE11)
Screen 101: ABAP Dictionary: Initial Screen
Screen 102: Maintain Table -> Delivery and Maintenance
Screen 103: Maintain Table -> Fields
[] SE11: Enter Table Name -> Create
Enter Table Description (Mandatory Field)
Select Delivery Class
Set maintenance level
Enter Fields, Assign Data Elements
Save Entries
Check Inconsistencies
Activate Table
Go To Technical Settings (SCREEN 104)
Delivery Class: The delivery class controls the transport of table data when
installing or upgrading, in a client copy and when transporting between customer
systems. The delivery class is also used in the extended table
maintenance.
There are the following delivery classes:
A: Application table (master and transaction data).
C: Customer table, data is maintained by the customer only.
L: Table for storing temporary data.
G: Customer table. The customer namespace must be defined in table TRESC. (Use
Report RDDKOR54 here).
E: System table with its own namespaces for customer entries.
S: System table, data changes have the same status as program changes.
W: System table (e.g. table of the development environment) whose
data is transported with its own transport objects (e.g. R3TR PROG, R3TR TABL,
etc.).
Data Browser/Table View Maint.: This indicator specifies
whether it is possible to display/maintain a table or view using the maintenance
tools Data Browser (transaction SE16) and table view maintenance (transactions
SM30 and SM31).
MANDT field is mandatory for Client dependant tables
Technical Settings: The technical settings control, for example, table buffering.
Indexes: To speed up data selection, you can create secondary indexes for the table
Append Structure: Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard.
Screen 104: Maintain Technical Settings
Select Data Class (Mandatory) [APPL0]
Select Size Category (Table size - No. of records - Mandatory) [1 to 6]
Specify Buffering [allowed / not allowed]
Save
Check Inconsistencies
Activate & Go Back to “Maintain Table Screen”
Data Class: The data class defines the physical area of the database (for ORACLE
the TABLESPACE) in which your table is logically stored. If you choose a data
class correctly, your table will automatically be assigned to the correct area
when it is created on the database.
The most important data classes
are (other than the system data):
APPL0 Master data
APPL1 Transaction data
APPL2 Organizational and customizing data
Size category: The size category determines the probable space requirement for a table in the database.
Buffering: The buffering status specifies whether or not a table may be buffered.
Screen 105: Maintain Table
Screen 106: Maintain Enhancement Category (ECC 6.0 onwards)
-> Extras -> Enhancement Category
Select Enhancement Category
Enhancement Category: Structures and tables that were defined by SAP in the ABAP
Dictionary can be enhanced subsequently by customers using Customizing includes
or append structures. The enhancements do not only refer to structures/ tables
themselves, but also to dependent structures that adopt the enhancement as an
include or referenced structure. Append structures that only take effect at the
end of the original structure can also cause shifts - in the case of dependent
structures - even within these structures.
Screen 107: Maintain Table -> Table Maintenance Generator
Screen 108: Generate Table Maintenance Dialog: Generation Environment
-> Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator OR [] SE54
Specify Authorization Group [&NC&]
Select Maintenance type [One Step/Two Step]
Mention Screen Numbers [1/2]
Save & Go Back
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.
