Regarding Table maintanence generator

Hi,
I have a requirement were in i need to upload data in to this customisizing table using table maintanenece gen....My requirement is to hide the primary key which is of no use to end user instead when he enters data into this the i should generate the primary key by means of some FM which wud be unique for each record of the entry created in the table.....but the user should not see the first key which is primary key here in my case should be hidden in the table maintanence generator......Please response quickly its urgent...............
Thanking you in Advance......

here is the   code for that

Reg : Table Maintanence Generator

hi friends,
After creating a Z-Table,,we can create entries and diaplay the entries.
But then Why do we go for Table Maintanence Generator.
waiting for your answers
Reagrds
Vaja

Hi,
With the help of the table maintenance generator, you are able to maintain the ENTRIES of the table in SM30 transaction.
It can be set in transaction SE11 - Tools - Table maintenance generator.
Table maintanance Generator is used to manually input values using transaction sm30
follow below steps
1) go to se11 check table maintanance check box under attributes tab
2) utilities-table maintanance Generator-> create function group and assign it under
function group input box. Also assign authorization group default &NC& .
3) select standard recording routine radio in table table mainitainence generator to move table
contents to quality and production by assigning it to request.
4) select maintaience type as single step.
5) maintainence screen as system generated numbers this dialog box appears when you click on create button
6) save and activate table
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.
SM30 is used for table maintenance(addition or deletion of records),
For all the tables in SE11 for which Table maintenance is selected , they can be maintained in SM30
Sm30 is used to maintain the table ,i.e to delete ,insert or modify the field values and all..
It creates the maintenance screen for u for the aprticular table as the maintenance is not allowed for the table..
In the SE11 delivery and maintenance tab, keep the maintenance allowed..
Then come to the SM30 and then enter the table name and press maintain..,
Give the authorization group if necessary and give the function group and then select maintenance type as one step and give the screen numbers as system specified..
Then create,,,
Then u will able to see the maintenance view for the table in which u can able to insert and delete the table values...
We use SM30 transaction for entering values into any DB table.
First we create a table in SE11 and create the table maintenance generator for that Table using (utilities-> table maintenance generator) and create it.
Then it will create a View.
After that from SM30, enter the table name and Maintain, create new entries, change the existing entries for that table.

Table maintanence generator Events and BADI

hi,
We are in middle of creating technical design. The scenario is given below.
A BADI is implemented and the we are writing code for saving data in a table and we are writing events in table maintanence generator for this table to validate the data before saving.
So if error occurs, we can't populate it as error message as this is done in between of BADI. So how to capture these error messages and give to BADI.
I am thinking to use EXPORT and IMPORT to memory. Will this work? Or is there any other method for this? I am not able to check in SAP as the client doesnt want to create anything before signing off the TD.

I answered the exact same question a few minutes back in another thread. Hope this works.
read table new entry
For the others who have answered this question:
I tried referencing the table directly and whenever i enter multiple entries the validations where failing. I could not do a loop at table. My validations were supposed to be triggered only at the time of saving the entries and not at the time of entry. Anybody has a workaround besides what i have described in the post??

'Z' table maintanence generator

Hi,
I am having a 'Z' table with 7 fields. In this 'Z' table I also have a field whose data type is STRING, for which I've created a 'Z' data type and a 'Z' domain.
I am not able to create:
1) Maintainence view using Tale maintanence generator for this table.
Error is get is 'Data type STRING not supported in field SMS'.
2) Neither am I able to maintain/modify entries in table using SE16N and check maintain entries, even after changing attributes as 'Display/Maintenance Allowed'.
Even if I change some entries and click SAVE I get a dump saying
Runtime errors         ASSIGN_CASTING_ILLEGAL_CAST
Exception              CX_SY_ASSIGN_CAST_ILLEGAL_CAST
       Occurred on     10.09.2009 at   11:34:41
Error in an ASSIGN ... CASTING statement in program "SAPLSE16N".
Is it because of my data elemene string or something else?
Please help.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
Yes. You are right. Table maintenance generator does not support fields of type with string, raw, rawstring, internal table, object reference etc...
One solution I think is to create a maintenance transaction on your own.

Deepika.

Hi regarding table maintance generator

Hi

You can add that table as checktable aginast those fields for which you need to check those values.

Here is the steps for making table maintaince generator ...
Creating Maintenance Views
Procedure
1.Enter an explanatory short text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the view at a later time using this short text.
2.Enter the primary table of the view under Tables in the Tables/Join conditions tab page.
Only those tables that are linked with the primary table (indirectly) with a foreign key can be included in the maintenance view.
3.If required, include more tables in the view. In a maintenance view you can only insert tables that are linked to one another with foreign keys.
Place the cursor on the primary table and choose Relationships. All existing foreign key relationships of the primary table are displayed. Select the required foreign key and choose Copy. The secondary table used in such a foreign key is included in the view. The join conditions derived from the foreign keys (see Foreign Key Relationship and Join Condition) are displayed.
You can also insert tables that are linked by foreign key with one of the secondary tables that was already inserted. To do this, place the cursor on the secondary table and choose Relationships. Then proceed as described above.
For maintenance and help views, there are certain restrictions on the foreign keys with which the tables can be included in the view (see Restrictions for Maintenance and Help Views). The foreign keys violating these conditions are displayed at the end of the list under the header Relationships with unsuitable cardinality.
4.On the View fields tab page, select the fields that you want to copy to the view.
Choose Table fields. All the tables contained in the view are displayed in a dialog box. Select a table. The fields of the table are now displayed in a dialog box. You can copy fields by selecting them in the first column and choosing Copy.
All key fields of the primary table must be included in a maintenance view. In addition, all key fields of secondary tables that are not involved in the foreign key (that is, which are not linked via a join condition to a key field already included in the view) must be included in the view.
This ensures that the records inserted with a maintenance view can be written correctly in the tables contained in the view.
5.On the Selection conditions tab page, you can (optionally) formulate restrictions for the data records that can be displayed with the view (see Maintaining Selection Conditions for Views).
The selection conditions define the data records that can be selected with the view.
6.In the Maintenance status tab page, define the maintenance status of the view.
The maintenance status defines how you can access the view data with the standard maintenance transaction (SM30).
7.Choose   activate
8.Go to Transaction SE54 with Environment ® Tab.maint.generator.
From the view definition you can generate maintenance modules and maintenance interfaces that distribute the data entered with the view to the base tables of the view. You can find more information in Creating a Maintenance Dialog.

But in Quality and Production It is not allowing to create the entries. It is saying non modfiable.
Please reply.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi again,
1. But when i am saving it asking for request.
Yes, u are right. It will ask for a request.
2. Create a request.
3. Also do not forget to re-generate the table maintenance.
(At that time also it will ask for request)
4. Transport the request to QA and PRD. It will work fine then.

Regarding Table Maintenance Generator of a Database Table.

Hi,
I have two DB tables (These tables were developed previously) i am asked to maintain entries in these tables.
The delivery class of both tables is 'C' and in the table maintenace generator both have the "Recording routine" as "STANDARD RECORDING ROUTINE". But one of the tables is prompting for Work Bench request and the other for Customizing Request.
Could anyone please guide me when a table asks for a Customizing Request and WorkBench request.
Thanks in Advance for your esteemed replies.
Regards,
Raghavendra Goutham P.

Hi Raghavendra,
this is from help.sap.com
The delivery class controls the transport of table data for installation, upgrade, client copy and when transporting between customer systems. The delivery class is also used in the extended table maintenance.
The delivery class is also used in the Extended Table Maintenance (SM30).
It is not possible to transport the entered data using the transport connection of the generated maintenance interface for tables having delivery classes W and L.
Data that is entered is checked to see if it violates the namespace defined in table TRESC. If the data violates the namespace, the input is rejected.

Regarding table maintenance generator

hi
i have one scenario . supppose there are 4 fields in a table. user enters data into it using table maintenance generator. he enters data only for 2 fields remaining 2 fields should get populated automatically.
is it possible?

Go to SE11->Table Maintenance generator -> Environment->Modification-> Events
Here you can define events and the form routines that will be invoked on that particular event.
Say for example you want to populate details for the user who created the records, define the form FRM_CR_DATE (any form routine name) for populating the Create Details using event 05.
Event 05 is fired for "Creating a new entry".
Click on the EDITOR Button and write the following code for saving the user details while creating a new record.
*       FORM FRM_CR_DATE                                              *
form frm_cr_date .
ztablename-created_by      = sy-uname .
ztablename-created_on      = sy-datum .
ztablename-create_time     = sy-uzeit.
endform .
The current username, system date and time will be moved to the table work area for each record created.
