Problem in saving changes in hosts

Question

I am having trouble saving changes in hosts when I edit them in the terminal. So I execute the following directions:
Launch Terminal, found in /Applications/Utilities/ or launched through Spotlight
Type the following command at the prompt:
sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Enter the administrator password when requested, you will not see it typed on screen as usual with the command line
Once the hosts file is loaded within nano, use the arrow keys to navigate to the bottom of the hosts file to make your modifications
When finished, hit Control+O followed by ENTER/RETURN to save changes to /private/etc/hosts, then hit Control+X to exit out of nano
Once I try to save my changes, the usual window opens where you can choose you file directory. I cant save it anywhere because there is no suitable file or folder that allows me to do that. I searched a bit about that and saw that I can try entering the /private/etc/hosts directory. There I can see the file of the terminal named "Terminal Saved Output" but still cant save my changes there.
Any idea what might be wrong and what I can do?

Hi,
If your using internal table to update use syntax
Update <ztable name> from table <internal table>.
if work area
update <ztable name> from <wa>.
since you want to update just zhof try using
update <ztable name> set zhof = wa-zhof where <some primary key condition>
Also check your code here:
update zco_hoff2 from it_zco_hoff2.
where as you have said earlier that your z table name is zcho_hoff2.
Just use COMMIT WORK instead of addition WAIT.
For more info write UPDATE/MODIFY in ur abap editor and do F1 on it.
Regards,
Amit
