Excel download functionality in Table maintenance generator

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement.
I have to create a custom table and should have a table maintenance for that.
I can do this via table maintenance generator.
But after creating this, in the maintenance screen, i should have a button. On clicking the button, a popup should ask for excel file name and after specifying the file name all the data in the maintenance screen has to get downloaded to a excel file.
So, my idea to implement is, change the code generated by table maintenance generator, to accomplish this.
In the menu painter, create a button. and have a ok code for that.
In the screen painter, design a screen with filename field and have a ok button. Accept the filename input and close the screen and then for that ok code in the PAI module, use GUI_DOWNLOAD function to download the excel file to the specified location.
Please review this and please let me know if there is any alternative solution for this requirement.
Thanks,
Jaffer Ali.S

Hi,
After maintaining table maintenence generator maintain one push button in pai of the table program .
in that when 'download'.
call function module f4_filename it will ask file name enter that value.
after using gui_download you can down load to excel file.
To download from SAP to Excel:
Transaction SE16N allows you to access any sap table and download result to Excel
no other alternative for this.

Can we say that Table Maintenance Generator is Function Group?

Can we say that Table Maintenance Generator is Function Group?

Hi Naresh,
I think as you said it is a function group only..
When we generate a TMG, a function group with two function modules, two screens and some includes will get generated.
This function modules and screens get called dynamically through SM30.

Download contents from Table Maintainance Generator screen.

Hi,
We have a Z table in our SAP system.
Recently a Table maintenance generator has been created for this table so that we could add entries to this table.
The user wants to be able to download the information on the Table Maintenance generator to excel.
In the menu bar - > System - > List - > Save -> The option Local Folder, Report tree and local file are grayed out. How can they be made available.
Thanks,
Rohit

Dear
The way it is defined in the above post is right .
You can do one more thing modify the program which have been generated in as SAPZTABLE .

Upload excel data in a table maintenance view

Hi,
I have a requirement to add a button in the application toolbar of the table maintenance screen of a custom table. This button should upload the excel sheet data into the maintenance screen online.
I have created the button in the table maintenance generator. Also, uploaded the data into the internal table from the excel sheet.
The problem is I am unable to populate the data from the internal table to the maintenance screen online.
Any pointers in this regards will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Ajith

Hi,
I think you have to use BDC call transaction (SM30) and use that table control to upload the data. Try and see..
Cheers,

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.
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.

Validation after Excel File Upload in Table Maintenance

Hello All,
I've done extensive research on this topic and still have yet to find the answer. I have created a custom button in the TMG to upload an Excel file to the table maintenance using the FM CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD. I updated the EXTRACT and TOTAL table so it will show up in the TMG interface, but no validations occur. So, I am now trying to do the validations of this file upload. I would like to validate each record and allow the user to modify the error record then continue validating the rest. Essentially I would like to mimic the functionality that occurs when multiple records are copied to the table maintenance and validated one by one. Updating the EXTRACT table through ABAP, does not reach the PAI where the validations occur.
Is this approach possible? If not, what would be the best way to do validations, inform the user of the error record, and allow modification in the table maintenance interface?
Thanks,
Justin

Or just a report program - have the file name on the selection screen.
1) Upload the file
2) Validate the file and produce error messages.
3) Based on the validations, update the table.

'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

Fields update on Table maintenance generator screen

HI All..
I have a custom table with five fields. I did table maintenance generator on it. It has Screen 1 as overview screen and scree 2 as single screen.
Now of the five fields two fields are user name and date. When i enter data on the other three fields and save it on the second screen - iam able to update the two fields for username and date and display on the screen two itself.
But if iam not saving the data on the screen 2 and going back to screen 1 and then save it - iam not able to update the user name and date and also to display the username and date on the screen.
Any suggestions are helpful..
Thanks and will reward helpful answers.

In this case..
Iam having the functionality of SM30 through table maintenance generator.
On Screen 2- single screen - user name and date is working as i had written the logic in the relevant PBO and PAI module.
But if user is not saving the data in screen screen2 and coming back to screen 1- which is overview screen and then try to save it-- all other fields are getting saved except the username and date..
Thanks.

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.
Difference Between Select Single and Select UpTo One Rows
According to SAP Performance course the SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS is faster than SELECT SINGLE because you are not using all the primary key fields.
select single is a construct designed to read database records with primary key. In the absence of the primary key, it might end up doing a sequential search, whereas the select up to 1 rows may assume that there is no primary key supplied and will try to find most suitable index.
The best way to find out is through sql trace or runtime analysis.
Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
The 'SELECT SINGLE' statement selects the first row in the database that it finds that fulfils the 'WHERE' clause If this results in multiple records then only the first one will be returned and therefore may not be unique.
Mainly: to read data from
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.
Mainly: to check if entries exist.

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.

Hi,
Table Maintenance Generator will create the Z Screens.
In order modify those Z screens go to SE80 and give the
Function group for that table maintenance generator.
Then to find the function group go to sm30, give the table name and click on display. It show a screen with table control. Click on System -> Status .
It gives you the Z screen information.
Give that Z screen in SE80 and do the changes accordingly.
I hope it helps you.

Table maintenance generator events

Hi,
I have created a table maintenance generator and want to populate sy-uname and sy-datum into two fields during SAVE. So I went to Environment -> Modification -> Events and selected "01" event i.e. "Before saving the data in the database" and entered Form routine as "F_UPDATE_UNAME_UDATE". Then if I go to SM30 transaction it goes to dump.
Could you please tell whether I am missing any point?

Hi,
Pasted it below.
Runtime Error          PERFORM_NOT_FOUND
Except.                CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FORM
Date and Time          01/31/2008 09:26:52
ShrtText
     Call (PERFORM) to a non-existent routine.
What happened?
     The current program attempted to call an externally defined routine
     that does not exist.
     Error in ABAP application program.
     The current ABAP program "SAPLZTEST321" had to be terminated because one of the
     statements could not be executed.
     This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
     The current ABAP program had to be terminated because the
     ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
     The current ABAP program "SAPLZTEST321" had to be terminated because the ABAP
     processor discovered an invalid system state.
What can you do?
     Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
     and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
     error.
     To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
     You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
      termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
     date.
    is especially useful if you want to keep a particular message.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
    . The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FORM',
     was neither
    caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure
     "PREPARE_SAVING" "(FORM)"
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
     to occur, the running program was terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    The program "SAPLZTEST321" is meant to execute an external PERFORM,
    namely the routine "F_UPDATE_UNAME_UDATE " of the program "SAPLZTEST321 ", but
    this routine does not exist.
    This may be due to any of the following reasons:
    1. One of the programs "SAPLZTEST321" or "SAPLZTEST321 " is currently being
     developed.
    The name "F_UPDATE_UNAME_UDATE " of the called routine may be incorrect, or
    the routine "F_UPDATE_UNAME_UDATE " is not yet implemented in the program
     "SAPLZTEST321 ".
    2. If the program SAPMSSY1 is involved in the runtime error, one of
    the function modules called via RFC is not flagged as remote-capable.
    (see Transaction SE37 Goto->Administration->RFC flag)
    3. There is an inconsistency in the system. The versions of the
    programs "SAPLZTEST321" and "SAPLZTEST321 " do not match.
How to correct the error
    - Check that transports to the system are complete.
    - Conclude any developments already begun ("SAPLZTEST321" and/or "SAPLZTEST321
    - Check routine names
    You may able to find an interim solution to the problem
    in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,
    use the following search criteria:
    "PERFORM_NOT_FOUND" CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FORMC
    "SAPLZTEST321" or "LSVIMF14"
    "PREPARE_SAVING"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and you wish to send
    an error message to SAP, include the following documents:
    1. A printout of the problem description (short dump)
       To obtain this, select in the current display "System->List->
       Save->Local File (unconverted)".
    2. A suitable printout of the system log
       To obtain this, call the system log through transaction SM21.
       Limit the time interval to 10 minutes before and 5 minutes
       after the short dump. In the display, then select the function
       "System->List->Save->Local File (unconverted)".
