Default value updation in table

Hi,
I want to update default value 'X' in ztable field through report.How to set the field value always containing X only.

Hi Anitha,
Can you a bit clarify your question ? - I understand if the ZTable field value is 'X' you need to update it right ?
Then , fetch the entries of the tables for which the field values is 'X' and modify the field value as per the business requirement and update the same table. You can use the work areas while updating the ZTable.
Thanks,
SK

ALTER TABLE test
MODIFY (indicator DEFAULT 'I');
Incidentally, INDICATOR is a keyword in Oracle, so you may have problems using it as a column name. If so, you'll have to enclose the column name in double-quotes, and be careful to use capital letters inside the quotes.

Default values in SE16 table selection screen

Hi,
when we open SE16 along with table name , In the selection screen of that table i want some default values apper for one particular field.
How can i do that???

HI.
STEPS:
1. Go to SE16.
2. Enter a table name.
3. In the selection screen of the table enter values
for the fields that you want to set as default values also called variants.
4. Then click on Goto --> Variant --> Save as Variant
5. Enter the variant name and short text for the same.
6. Then click on save on top of the page.
Steps To retrieve the variant.
1. go to se16.
2. Enter table name.
3. Click on "Get Varian" icon or press "Shift + F5".
4. Choose the desired variant.
Thus you will be able to set default values in SE16

How to set default value of a table using sequence number

Dear all,
Does any body know that how to set default value of a table
using sequence number.
But I don't want to use trigger to do that.
Please help!!!!
Eldon

Andrew is essentially correct. You can get around the trigger,
but not the sequence, if (and this may be a very big if) you can
guarantee that every time an insert is done into the table, from
whatever source, the statement looks something like
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (sequence.nextval,other_columns_values)

How to dynamically get default value from a table column

Hi all,
Here's my problem: Our front end application sends insert and update queries to a pl/sql package. I've got a procedure that gets a PL/SQL table with all the column names an values, a table-name and a primary key name and value. That procedure creates an insert or update statement. So far, so good.
Now the problem: our front end doesn't know what the default value for a column is. So when a number field doesn't get a value in the front-end, it's inserted with a value '0' though is should ben NULL. My sollution for this is to know the default value of a column: when there's a default of '0', then the value that will be inserted is '0'. When there's no default value and the column can ben NULL, it'll be inserted as NULL. if the column has a not null constraint, a '0' will be inserted.
Ofcourse I can get the default value from the system-views all_tab_columns or user_tab_columns, but our application is installed at some 100 clients, and has various database installations. Most of the times, the tables are in the same schema as our procedure that performs the insert or update, but sometimes some of the tables are in another schema (in the same database) and also sometimes some tables are stored in another database. In all these situations, a synonym for that table exists in the schema.
Is there a api function or procedure that I can call to get the default value of a column? I looked at dbms_sql and dbms_metadata, but those packages don't give me that perticular information. if not, I'll stuck with the 'does table exists in schema' yes->use table, no query user_synonyms to look for the owner of the table (and database link) and query all_tab_columns to get the default value. Only this seems a bit overkill to me.
I hope I'm clear enough? And please don't reply with "don't do inserts this way"! I know, this is not the most optimal sollution, but it does gives us a couple of advantages in our application...

there is no way that I can think of, apart from what you have already discovered (i.e. views), where you can determine if a column has a defuault value defined against it.
The other option is triggers, but I guess doing that across 600 tables would not be an option, and besides I stay clear of triggers.
A different approach therefore, if you cannot pre-determine the data, is to consider a post problem handler, hence I suggested the use of an exception handler.
The exception handler works regardless of whether the statement is dynamic or not.
SQL> truncate table abc;
Table truncated.
SQL>
SQL> declare
2    NULLVAL exception;
3    pragma exception_init(NULLVAL, -01400);

7    begin

9      execute immediate 'insert into abc (y) values (1)';
10
11      exception
12        when NULLVAL then
13          -- handle the error
14          execute immediate 'insert into abc (x,y) values (0,1)';
15
16    end;
17
18    commit;
19
20 end;
21 /

Hiii help to put default values on custom table

Default value updated

Hello:
Can anybody provide help to me in this situation:
I have a form for user to choose an item from Pop Up LOV, once the user press the button "choose_item" to submit , the default value "Yes"of the availability of that item will be change to "No"
How can i perform that operation?
Thanks and best regards

So, when the user clicks submit have a process:
UPDATE
table
SET
available='N'
WHERE
id=:P1_ID
Then when you select (for reports etc) then you just do:
SELECT
FROM
table
WHERE
available!='N'
That's if I'm understanding correctly what you are trying to achieve.

How to maintain default values for custom table fields -- Urgent

Hi all,
I've a requirement wherein i need to create a Z table (with maintainence view) in which i'll have date and time as two of its field which should have current date and current time as default value. Can somebody suggest as how am i to maintain the date and time fields defaulting to current date and current time.
Incase if someone is unable to intrepret what i'm trying to say, please query me, i'll elaborate it further.
Please give in your quick inputs which is highly valuable to me and also will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Vaishnavi Varadarajan

We have a following custom table which contains the fields Date on which record was created and Name of the person who created the object. We would like to have these to be filled up with SY-DATUM and SY-UNAME respectively.
Using the events, we can achieve this.
Please refer the following link:
http://abapliveinfo.blogspot.com/2007/12/events-in-table-maintenance-in-sap.html
Also,
Write a form routine in table maintanance generator.
1. SE11 > utilities > table maintenance generator
2. environment > modification > event
define the event and form routine to make use of the tigger. in the form routine define an object for the class and call the relevant method.
Or u can do it as:
Table maintenance generator is basically used to do table operations like (insert, delete, modify...).
if you create table maintenance for your table it will build a module pool program, by using you do the above operations.
below is the procedure to create table maintenance generator.
1) Create one function group.
2) after activating your Ztable, choose 'Utilities'----> 'Table maintenance genrator'.
3) then give the authorization group and function group created abobe in the next screen.
4) Then choose the "create" button in your application tool bar, which will creates the module pool program.
5) then create one Tcode by chosing "Transaction with parameters( parameter transaction)".
6) in transaction field give "SM30", select the check box "Skip initial screen".
7) in the below of that screen you can find the "Default values" frame.
8) there under the "name of screen field" select the "View name' and 'update".
9) in value column against to "view name" give you table name, and against to "Update" put 'X' in capital letters.
save it then you can straight away use this newly created Tcode to maintain your table.
Note:- 1) make the modification while saving the data into your table using this newly generated program to carry out your validation (even though it looks like standard program; no need to enter the access key).
2) if you do any changes to your table and press the activate button automatically the table maintenace generator will be goes off, you need to create this again.

IW21 - Default values into Activities table on Creation of Notification

Hi,
Can anyone suggest a way to default values in to the first line of the Activities table (VIQMMA) on the Additional Information tab when creating a notification?
Some fields would be dependant on the entry in the field VIQMFE-OTGRP on the Header tab, others such as Start date and times, would be copied directly from the header tab.
I have been looking to use an Enhancement Point - but where to put it?
I'm hoping someone may have tried this already?
Thanks for your help,
Jan

Category attributes default values updating

Hi,
I'm developing an application that, upon upload of a file to the specified root folder(through the application), reads some values from a file, creates a folder structure based on those values, and moves the file in the bottom folder. Now, a predefined category should be attached to the file, to enable search by category attributes. My idea is to set the category as required on that bottom folder (or the first), and modify it's attribute default values, so that the file inherits them when moved in it. I have found mshannon's examples in some other thread ( Updating a document with category metadata using updateDocument(): error! ), the first one works only with files, not folders, and the second one doesn't work for me at all, I get an error:
javax.faces.el.EvaluationException: ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError:ORACLE.FDK.AggregateError
here is my code:
public static void updateAttributes() throws FdkException, RemoteException{
login();
FileManager fm = s_WsCon.getFileManager();
Item fajl = fm.resolvePath(prop.getProperty("userhome") + "/root folder/folder1/readme1.txt",
null);
long docID = fajl.getId();
NamedValue[] catInstAtr = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138297", "changed value for att1"),
new NamedValue("CUSTOM_138299", "changed value for att2")
NamedValue[] catDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.UPDATE_CATEGORY_ID,new Long(139054)),
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION_ATTRIBUTES, catInstAtr)
NamedValue[] docDef = new NamedValue[] {
new NamedValue(Options.CATEGORY_DEFINITION, catDef)
AttributeRequest[] reqAtr = new AttributeRequest[]{
new AttributeRequest(Attributes.DESCRIPTION, null)
fajl = fm.updateDocument(docID, docDef, reqAtr);
logut();
This example is (I think) only for updating on document level, but I could use a solution for folder-level updating, as I explained before. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Pedja

Pedja,
Here is my code to get category from Folder this is updated version from sample code TestCategory2.java
1. It will get the required category of a folder.
2. gets the internal category attribute names
3. get Category id if uploading file along with category attribute values OR
updating file and also updating previous category instance values..

Default value for a table field?

Hi,
I have a table which contains the fields USER_NAME and DATE_CHANGED_AT.
here's what i want to do:
When we use se16 to enter data into the table, i want these fields to have default values .
user_name should contain the currently logged in user.
date_changed_at should contain todays date.
The aim is to eventually have these fields contain the person who last changed the row and the date when it was changed.
It doesnt matter if se16 doesnt contain it and we have a way of defaulting these values thru the table creation process.
something similar to the mandt field. When we create the table data, MANDT field is pre-populated.
Any thoughts?
Regards
Vandana

Entering data using SE16 is not a good practice .
YOu have to use table maintenance generator to maintable the table entries.
This also provides with options to write your own code to meet requirements like this.
EVENTS in table maintenance generator

How to get column default value define on table?

Hi,
I am trying to get a table column default value with no success. I am using the Oracle Data Provider for .NET 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.2)
1). OracleConnection.GetSchema( "Columns", New System.String() {"<Owner>", "<Table_Name>"} returns everything BUT default value.
2). I tried querying oracle directly (sample below) but the default value comes back blank even though the column has one defined.
Dim oracleConnection As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection = factory.CreateConnection
Dim oracleCommand As New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand( _
"SELECT data_default FROM DBA_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE OWNER = 'TEST_SCHEMA' AND UPPER( TABLE_NAME ) = 'TEST' AND UPPER(COLUMN_NAM) = 'TESTCOL'")
oracleConnection.Open()
oracleCommand.Connection = oracleConnection
Dim oracleReader As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataReader = oracleCommand.ExecuteReader
oracleReader.GetValue(0) 'This will return blank rather than default value for the column.
oracleReader.Read()
oracleReader.Close()
oracleConnection.Close()
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Rob,
I just ran up a quick test and I can't duplicate the behavior you describe.
I created a simple table as "scott":
SQL> create table def_test(c varchar2(32) default 'hello, world');
Table created.In my simple test I used the following C# code:
NOTE: There is an error in this code if using ODP.NET (see my post below for details on this)
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OracleClient;
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
 string constr = "user id=scott;" +
 "password=tiger;" +
 "data source=orademo;" +
 "pooling=false;" +
 "enlist=false";
 OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(constr);
 con.Open();
 OracleCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand();
 cmd.CommandText = "select data_default " +
 "from all_tab_columns " +
 "where owner='SCOTT' " +
 "and table_name='DEF_TEST' " +
 "and column_name='C'";
 OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
 dr.Read();
 string defaultValue = (string) dr.GetValue(0);
 Console.WriteLine("Default value is: {0}", defaultValue);
 dr.Dispose();
 cmd.Dispose();
 con.Dispose();
}Since the GetValue method returns an "object" I cast the value to a string and got the correct result.
However, I don't have a 10.2 ODP.NET environment right now so I was using 11.1 for this.
In your real code I suspect that you assign "oracleReader.GetValue(0)" to something - when you say "blank" do you mean zero length or a space or something else?
Regards,
Mark
