Hi Moni,
The problem as I had replied in your earlier post is with the MODIFY statement.
MODIFY TABLE ITAB FROM ITAB. This statement will do the modifications based on the table key. When you have character fields as editable, then some problems are to be anticipated. In such a scenario, you must update the internal table based on the index, rather than based on key.
So consider using
MODIFY ITAB FROM ITAB INDEX TCL-CURRENT_LINE.
Where TCL is the name of the Table Control. Also observe the difference in syntax here, don't use the TABLE keyword for the MODIFY statement.
Please try it out and let me know.
Regards,
Anand Mandalika.

Nokia 5220 WHITE SCREEN PROBLEM *Help plz*

hello guys ... my phone's (5220) screen has gone White ... !! i have absolutely no idea what the problem is ! i took out the battery and put it back again .. but when i turn it on ..after the nokia logo the screen goes white again !! i cant do anything except for looking at the white screen...! the phone doesnt even turn off until you take out the battery !
I tried to connect it to my PC (via data cable) but the phone does not get connected with the PC suite !! PLZ HELP ME !!

Jimmyireland is right - anything that you could do yourself requires the phone to at least boot up properly, at the moment your phone is like PC with no Windows involved, it can't find its OS to start.
The 5220 is a series 40 phone, there is facility for a forced reboot, it needs its software to be reflashed which is why you need the Nokia service point.

Annoying iphone problems, help plz?

well, I'm having two annoying problems with my iphone, the first is that when I record a video or a photo, it does not save and the second is that it does not appear as a removable drive on the pc, SOMEBODY HELP ME PLZ :/

You should try to restore the iPhone using iTunes make sure you back up, see if it helps.
iPhones won't show as removable device if you are referring to be able to copy/transfer files similar to a usb flash drive. It is restricted based on Apple's specification altho it should appear as "Digital Camera Device" having access to your captured photo's or "camera roll" you should unlock your iPhone first before connecting to PC or Mac if you do have a password.
As of saving issues, try to restore the firmware by itunes or resetting through iPhone settings as reset or restore.
It should fix and work as normal, if it doesnt you can always go back from where you purchased it but it will. Goodluck.

Annoying podcast problem help plz

hi guys,
first if this is in the wrong place, i apologise, as you can see a new user.
anyway, heres my problem,
i just got hold of an ipod mini, and i use my itunes extensively for podcast listening,and i have a problem regarding when it comes to syncing them with my ipod.
basically i would like my ipod to put any podcast that is listed as new in itunes on my ipod when i connect it.
and yes it does that fine.
but what problem i have is, when i come to syncing again, it will get the new ones ok, but it will remove all the ones previously put on there, and its annoying, as there are some i have not listened to yet.
is there a setting were i can get my ipod/itunes to put all new podcasts on automatically, but leave them on until i decide to remove them.
i have tried all the settings in the ipod/podcast settings, but none do that.
so any help guys appreciated.
is there a way to get my new podcasts on my ipod, but leave the others on.(and then what would be the easiest way to remove them when i do want them off??)

Hello OZ1989,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
With the iPod hooked up, I would try putting the iPod into [Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363] to help the iPod stay powered on and mounted in Windows "My Computer" as an external drive. If you are able to get it to stay mounted, I would attempt to reformat the iPod using the tools provided by Windows, and then [Restoring|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339] the iPod via iTunes.
Here are instructions on how to reformat your iPod.

MSI Neo2-FR Raid problems help plz

ok well me and msi are not getting along...well i'm tring to install a raid-0 ...in the bios i changed it to boot raid instead of ide....then i went and made a raid 0 array...well i go to try to install windows and i press f6...then when its time to install the drivers from the floppy, it dont see the dam drivers on the floppy so i can get no further...and its weird because from the time i boot up the comp the floppy light stays lit the whole time whether there is a floppy in or not...it did not do that on my other motherboard...msi is a weird board...im ready to break it....can anyone help here

If you can't get your floppy drive/disk to work properly with Windows Setup, you can integrate the ICH9R RAID drivers into a self-made install CD using NLITE or XP ISO BUILDER. Both tools are easy to use and the procedure shouldn't take longer than 15-20 Minutes.

Big problems help plz

Since upgrading to a MSI K8N Neo Platinum nForce3 250 (Socket 754) and a A64 3000..the rest of my system is in sig
i didnt think it was running that fast..and when i did a benchmark with 3d mark 01 it showed up with 17700...and that was with the gfx card overclcoked
i tried messing about with memory timings and overclocking the rig a bit but was still far from impressed....anyway
i bought a new heatsink/fan and a raptor grive to use for my O/S after i had put it all together and switched on the comp it just didnt boot ....all i got was one longish beep the a pause followed by another and so on .
i tried reseating the cpu and heatsink tried the memory in different slots checked gfx card etc still nothing...
anyway i went back to my n/force 2 and barton 2500@3200 with the same memory and gfx card i used on the A64 and it works fine....i benchmarked it with 3d mark 01 and got a score of about 16700...without the gfx card overclocked.....
so have i got a borked mobo or borked chip the new system should be a lot faster than a barton 2500..can anyone tell me what the beep means off this mobo....
cheers in advance for any replies Bram

You can find BIOS beep codes at: http://bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm
It's not clear to me whether any of those apply to you...are you having a repeating long beep or is it long then short?
Does your CPU fan appear to be running at its full speed? Did you make sure to clean off the old thermal compound fully? Is the new thermal compound applied properly? (don't use too much!)
Have you tried clearing the CMOS? Unplug, and remove the battery for a minute or two. Try also to startup with nothing connected but the CPU, graphics card, and 1 stick of RAM. Before anyone else says it, as it seems to be the answer to end all answers for any problems in this forum, what is your power supply rated at? Not just watts but each rail...for example my PSU: 3.3v 30A 5v 38a 12V1 18A 12v2 15A
Finally, you're not going to see much of an increase in 3dMark tests just because you're on a faster CPU. It's almost completely based off your graphics card. I have a 9800PRO that tests at about 2% faster going from 200mhz to 220mhz for example on my A64 3200+.
Just some general ideas to try based on my recent experiences...in the last month or so I've built 3 PCs, 2 for relatives and 1 for myself. I think about every problem you can have I encountered but it was a great learning experience and a lot of fun!

Please have a read the following, very likely your iPod can be solved by connecting it with a Mac computer
Hello,
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For old and other versions of iPod updater for window you can get here
http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=501330&tstart=0
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2364921&#2364921
Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)

2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.
2. Do a search on Google and some topics on this discussion forum about “Sad iPod”

I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
Finally, I read a fair comments from dwb, regarding of slapping the back of the iPod multiple times
Quote “This has been discussed numerous times as a 'fix'. It does work, at least for a while. In fact I remember using the same basic trick to revive Seagate and Quantam drives back in the mid to late 1980's. Why these tiny hard drives go bad I don't know - could be the actuator gets stuck in place or misaligned. Could be the platter gets stuck or the motor gets stuck. 'Stiction' was a problem for drives back in the 80's. Unfortunately the fix can cause damage to the platter so we temporarily fix one problem by creating another. But I know of two instances where a little slap onto the table revived the iPods and they are still worked a year or more later.”UnQuote
