How to implement a two step maintainance?

Question

Hi,
I am trying to implement a two step maintainance , in the sense I have a table-control on the screen .
I will have one push button called new entries on the application toolbar .
If i click on new entries , it should take me to another screen and after i enter the entries and save it , it should get saved in the table control and the table control should be in non-editable mode .
Please can someone help me out with this .

Hi,
Do the following:
1. Mark all table control columns as Output Only, so that user cannot make entry directly in tabel control.
2. In PBO of screen where table control is shown code the following:
tabcon-lines = lines( itab ).
Where tabcon is the table control name and itab is the internal table which contains the records. This way no additional (blank) rows will be shown in the table control
3. Create a new screen and define in the screen all the fields (columns) of your table control. Program a button (maybe the save button) so that in PAI
CASE OKCODE.
WHEN 'SAVE'.
APPEND wa TO itab.
LEAVE TO SCREEN 0.
ENDCASE.
Assuming the screen fields are stored in a work area WA or type of internal table itab.
What thsi will do after clicking SAVE button, the itnernal table record will be added and control will return to table control screen and the new record will be displayed.
