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.

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

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.

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.

Can you please help me with validation logic for Events in Table maintenance generator

Can you please help me with validation logic for Events in Table maintenance generator,i.e if i enter record in 1st internal table then automatically 2nd internal table should be updated.

Objects created when creating table maintenance generator

Hi guru's,
I heard that when we creating a table maintenance generator for a table, it will create view,search help and some else.Is it true?
Please tell me what objects will be created when we create table maintenance generator for a table and why? what is the exact use of creating table maintenance generator for a
table other than reduces the time for entering large volume of data.
Regards,
Rakesh.

Hello Rakesh,
TMG is a tool meant and designed to maintain Customizing table/views. Customizing essentially means, that the data should be transportable across clients/systems.
All this, and the facility to maintain data (display, edit, create, delete, translate) is provided by the TMG. When you make the changes like above, the TMG also provides you features to automatically also enter the changes into transport requests.
Coming to what objects are created when you generate a maintenance dialogue -
1) A Customizing Object (merely a class C/G table or view does not become a
                                    customizing object)
2) A function group (as entered in SE54 details, if the function group does not already
                              exist)
3) Lot of coding within the function group (Func modules, subroutines, includes)
4) Screen(s) (1 or 2, depending on a setting in the TMG)
5) An automatic recording of all these objects into a transport request, for you to conveniently ship them to other systems in your landscape (this, if automatic recording is
switched ON in your system)
Authorization group - It is not created automatically (unlike function group). You need to specify an existing Auth group, or use a different functionality to create on of your requirements.
Does this answer most of your questions? Please revert if you need more clarifications.
Regards
Rekha
PS: Actually, why dont you try generating a maintenance dialogue for a sample z-table and see what all gets generated?

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.

Error while creating table maintenance generator

Hi,
I am getting below error while creating table maintenance generator.
Screen SAPLZtest 0002 could not be generated. In DYNPFIELD_ATTR field LENGTH has the invalid value 241.
Reason for that error might be:
In the table I have a field with a dataelement(customized) of type Char and length 241.
But in the other table Iam using the standard data element(standard) of same type(241 char).In this table Iam able to create table maintenance generator without any errors.
And the domain Iam using is same for both the tables.
Please help me to solve this.
Thanks in advance,
Sravanthi

Hi,
you can go to transaction se51 and go your screen. active it.. you can find thesolution.

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!

EVENT problem in Table maintenance generator

Hello all
             I m working on 4.6C sytem. I m facing 2 problems in events in table maintenance generator
(1) I am using 04 event (After deleting records from table)   I have written BREAK-POINT in the Form .....ENDFORM... But the control doesnt stop there , when i select an existing record and press delete record button? not able to understand this
(2) When i implement even t 03( Before deleting records from table) , and select an existing record and press delete record button . Control successfully Go to corresponding FORM ...   BREAK-POINT ENDFORM .
But now the problem is.. in debuggin i can see the contents in TOTAL table but when i try to code LOOP at TOTAL ..ENDLOOP...it gives me syntax error saying " table TOTAL doesnot exists or not defined..but similar field TOTAL_S , TOTAL_M , TOTAL_L exists.. ???
how come i can see the same during debugging but cannot code it ?
Plese help
Nilesh

Hi Nilesh,
(1) I think the control will stop there after you delete AND save. Not sure about that but give it a try.
(2) I believe you are trying to access fields inside table TOTAL, is that right?
Actually you have to declare a work area with your Z table type.
DATA: w_workarea type ztable.
LOOP at total.
w_workarea = total.
endoop.
Then you can work with w_workarea.
Best regards.
