Need help !- Table maintenance generator

Dear Experts,
I have created a custom table and all created a table maintenance generator for that. How do I make sure I am able to maintain the table using SM30 in the other clients of the system?
I created the table in client 125 and now need to insert records in110 for testing. But when I click on maintain button in SM30, I get a pop up which says "Client 110 has status 'not modifiable'"
Weird thing is all the other custom tables can be modifed and I also tried comparing the properties of my table with those and they are all exactly the same. Kindly help!!
Regards
Veena

Hi Veena,
While generating the table maintenance generator, Please check what radio button you choose for recording routine. I think you have selected 'Standard recording routine'. Change it to 'no, or user, recording routine' . Then this error will go away.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Two table maintenance generator for one table

Can we created two table maintenance generator for one ztable. if yes then what will be the steps.

Why you need two table maintenance generator for a single table?
We can generate only single table maintenance generator for a single table.
you can add modification event in inside table maintenance if you need anything to change or validate in insde your table maintenance generator.

Table maintenance generator : EVENTS : please help me

I need to use table maintenance generator to maintain a custom table through a custom transaction.
I am using event BEFORE SAVE (01). It is working fine but small issues.
1)After entering new entries for some fields(KEY FIELDS), when I press save button, remaining fields values to be populated. Seletion statements have written in FORM of the EVENT 01 (BEFORE SAVE).
But the values for remaining fieldsare not populating immediately and but populating when I press BACK (F3). My requirement is with out presssing BACK or F3 , fields to be populated.
(note: SAP internal code..values are coming into TOTAL structure..then I manipulated this internal table)
PLEASE GUIDE ME, WHICH EVENT TO BE USED. importantly, which internal table/structure (like TOTAL we used for this requirement ) to be used for the proposed new EVENT? (Because lot of R&D to be done to find SAP structure)
2) second requirement is: even after entering new entries, if we press ENTER, then also it should behave like SAVE like in the previous requirement. Please help me to find the EVENT and Internal SAP generated structure (like TOTAL we used for this requirement ).

Hi Glen Anthony,
Thanks for replay,
I used foreign key relationship between those 2 internal tables....
I used event 05: When creating a new entry. I want to know the custom logic by which my 2nd Internal table gets automatically updated when i update my 1st Internal table
Thanks Glen.

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.

Search help in table maintenance generator

Hello,
I have the following problem with the table maintenance generator:
I created a maintenance view and generated a maintenance dialog using the generator.
Some of the fields in this view are marked to be used as selection criteria in an additional dialog box which appears just before the system displays the data to be maintained (fields used for subsets).
The problem is that I cannot attach my own serach help for the fields displayed in this additional dialog window.
I created a search help, attached it to the data element of that field, reactivated the view, the maintenance dialog - and the result is nothing: my search help does not appear for that field, instead of it there's still a list of values stored in a table defined as a table of values for the domain asociated with the data element.
Has anyone solved that somehow ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks but it would be very nice if it was so easy.
The screen on which I want the search help to appear is not a screen created by the generator which I could just modify.
This is a standard dialog box window which appears <u>before</u> the system displays the screen created by the generator. It is screen number 0100 of program SAPLSVIX.
This screen is used in all transactions created with the generator (see for example OMJJ) so it cannot be modified this way.

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.

Addition of a new column in Table Maintenance Generator

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I have to include a new field in Table Maintenance Generator . This field is not present in the table but its data will be fetched from another table . Pls help me in this regard.
I have little idea of Table control .
Regards,
Nibha

Hi Nibha,
Table maintenance generator screen is an automatically generated screen. You cannot to any changes in that and neither can you do the changes in the PBO and/or PAI.
You can do it but it will ask you for SAP key etc. So there's not need to do it that way.
What you could do is;
1. Go to the table maintenence generator from SE11, in Change Mode.
2. Click on change icon. The system will show the 'Change Generation Elements' screen where it sill ask you the resson
    for change.
3. Click on the New Field/Sec. table in struction (or whichever is appropriate/applicable in your case)
4. Press Ok (Tick sign).
5. Then it will show you the ''Change Generation Elements: Detail' screen.Here;
       => You will select the maintenance screen that you wish to change( Overview/Single).
       =>   And the Field Type. Whether it is a key field or normal field.
              Select which ever is applicable.
6. The system will then re-generate the screen for you and - You'll Smile! - that you got the answer!
Cheers!

Disabling fields in table Maintenance generator

Hi Experts,
I would like to restrict some fields in table maintenance generator dynamically/ statically.
Here is the situation.
I have generated table maintenance for the table ZMARA and I have created three transactions for the above single table maintenance generator.
i.e .. Transaction      ---        Table
          ZT1                  ---         ZMARA
          ZT2                  ---          ZMARA
          ZT3                  ---          ZMARA
I am using above three transactions in my module pool program. Based on the certain conditions I am calling different transactions i.e ZT1, ZT2, etc
Here is my requirement:
Suppose if I call ZT1 transaction, I need to display only few fields. i.e ZMATNR, ZMTART, ZPRODH.
or remaining fields should disable. User should not allow to change the content, even if it is new entries/existing entries. only ZMATNR, ZMTART, ZPRODH.
Suppose if I call ZT2 transaction, I need to display only few fields. i.e ZMATNR, ZMTART, ZHTSCODE
How can we restrict dynamically when you call table maintenance generator table through transaction
or
How can we generate table maintenance for few fields?

Hi ,
go to Se11->Table maintenace generation. Double click on screen to edit and assign the field you want to display/hide to groups. In PBO , after the following lines..
LOOP AT EXTRACT WITH CONTROL
TCTRL_ZMARA                         CURSOR NEXTLINE.
   MODULE LISTE_SHOW_LISTE.
ENDLOOP.
Write a new module in PBO and edit the SCREEN as per the Tcode, you are calling,,'

Event code in table maintenance generator

Hi All, Need to call event in Table maintenance generator of the z table. I have to use 1st event (Select ’01’ – Before saving data in the database). Need to do fallowing job: Table cleaning : Delete all records with value year =< 2011 -New rule : No save can be done with value (Pst Var, PA,PSA, Cost = ‘ *,*,*,*’). I am attaching table entry with this mail, I have written the code for this but not sure please suggest me modification if required for this.Because i have never done this before. Thanks and Regards Sankil

hi Sankil
Some variable is not available in your code and you did not modify EXTRACT table.
Try to modify your code as blow:
This event has no standard routine. The following global data is available for the realization of the user routine:
•internal table TOTAL
•field symbols
•field symbols <ACTION> and <ACTION_TEXT>
•<STATUS>-UPD_FLAG
If internal table data are to be changed before saving, t he changes should be made in both the internal table
TOTAL and in the internal table EXTRACT.
FORM abc.
DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX. "Index to note the lines found
LOOP AT TOTAL.
IF <ACTION> = desired constant.
READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
ELSE.
CLEAR F_INDX.
ENDIF.
(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
MODIFY TOTAL.
CHECK F_INDX GT 0.
EXTRACT = TOTAL.
MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM

Issue in table maintenance generator

Hi,
We have tranported a new table to Q from devlopement.
But the table maintenance generator is not tranported.
How can we tranport it again form the devlopement.

Hello,
In this case you need to generate table maintenance object for the required table again.
Save that object in new transport request.
Now, You can either directly release this new request and import it in Q system or
merge the new request with existing released request and import new created request into Q system.
Check if this help,
Thanks,

Table maintenance generator

Hi All,
I have created a table maintenance generator and maintained data in that.
After that I added one more field in that table, but when I goto SM30 to add entries I cannot find that field.
Please suggest,
Thanks ,
Salman Zahir

Hi,
Whenever you do any changes in a database table, and then activate it, you need to create a new maintenance genrator for your table, else no changes would be reflect in SM30.
As you have added a new field in your ztable, activate it, and delete the old maintenance generator and create a new maintenance generator in the similar way as created initially.
Now execute SM30 and all the modification would be displayed to the user.
Hope this helps you.

Table maintenance Generator + Tcode for SM30

Hi,
I have created a table maintenance generator for a Z table. Then I created a transaction from SE93 for SM30 and passing table name as parameter.
My requirement is that the user should only be able to delete records from the Z table. It should not allow to insert or modify records.
When I execute the transaction created above it is allowing to insert, modify and delete records from Z table.
How to solve this issue? Please help.
Thanks in advance....
Regards,
Sriram

Hi Sriram,
I don't know why your language has changed to German. When I change status ZULG, the language remains English.
To see what happens I have created new maintenance screens and I went into the Modification --> User Interface.
On the next screen I pressed Copy User Interface and after that I got a warning about diferent languages. I just pressed enter. Now the popup screen gives me the possibility to change the interface. I went straight into change mode, without switching to individual interface. I changed status ZULG (everything is in German), activated the status and returned to SE55.
When I start SM30 , all texts are in German.
Because this is not what you and I want, I started again, I deleted my table maintance and created it again. Went into the modification of user interface again and again copied the user interface. Now I went into change mode and I looked at my user interface (in display mode) and all texts are in German. Went back to the strat screen of the menu painter, ACTIVATED THE USER INTERFACE and now, when I change the status ZULG, all texts are in English.
So, all you need to do is activate the user interface before you change it.
When you have a 2-screen table maintenance (an overview and a detail screen), you might want to change status ZUDG as well.
Kind regards, I hope you succeed this time around.
Tom.
