Forcing user to enter values at table level

Question

Hi,
I have created a table ztest. How to force user to enter the values for certain fields in the table which are not keys, similar to not null in RDBMS. selecting the initial values filed in SE11 populates with some default value, but it doesnt force the user to enter the value.

Hi,
Just check out transaction code SE54 for events.
Go in SE54.
Give your table name.
Go in Environment --> Events.
Here add the Event '01' i.e. Before saving the data.
Give the name for event eg 'BEFORE_SAVE'.
Click on Editor to create an include program.
In the include program write
form before_save.
  data: f_index like sy-tabix. "Index to note the lines
  loop at total.
    if <action> = 'N' or <action> = 'U'.
      read table extract with key <vim_xtotal_key>.
      if sy-subrc eq 0.
        f_index = sy-tabix.
      else.
        clear f_index.
      endif.
      "(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
      "End of Modification.
      modify total.
      check f_index gt 0.
      extract = total.
      modify extract index f_index.
    endif.
  endloop.
  sy-subrc = 0.
endform.
Note here in field symbol 'Total' your workarea will be their. You can make necessary checks here.
Or else you can go for making a custom transaction for your requirement.
