Table maintanence generator with events

Hi ,
I am having a custom table for which 2 new fields were added .
Now the data for the two fields shold be populated depending on conditions using table maintanence generator .
the two fields are : date and time.
for every existing and new record the date and time shold be populated once the action is taken plae using SM30.
can you please provide the sufficient info to achive the same .
which events to be used and how the code should be ...
thanks

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??

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.

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.

For this i have created table maintenace generator but when i open it in sm30 blnak screen is coming.
Here my question is can we create a table maintenace generator with out key field other than MANDT.
If it's possible please let me know.

But the table could hold at most a single record (per client). The design is lacking.

'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.

Table maintenance generator with radiobuttons

Hello,
how can I automatically (via se11: table maintenance generator) generate from a DDIC-structure the radiobtton-fields on a dynpro?
If I use the domaine 'X' or 'XFELD', I only get checkboxes....
kind regards

Hi,
Table Maintenance Generator will create the Z Screens.
In order modify those Z screens go to SE80 and give the
Function group for that table maintenance generator.
Then to find the function group go to sm30, give the table name and click on display. It show a screen with table control. Click on System -> Status .
It gives you the Z screen information.
Give that Z screen in SE80 and do the changes accordingly.
I hope it helps you.

TABLE Maintanence generator

I have a problem in the above stated context.
when i check the second last columns check box all other column & rows gets deactivated getting the message that an entry alredy exists can someone trouble shoot this.and can someone provide me with module code that unless i check the checkbos of the column the adjacent column should be deactivated.

Check if there is an EVENT associated with your table maintenance that is having any check.
Or
The other case may be your Checkbox is also a part of the key. When you are creating a new entry and try to select the checkbox, an entry with the same key already exists. Thats why sap raises an error message.

Upgrade- Table maintanence

Hi all,
In Upgrading 4.7 to ECC 6 we are replacing the obsolete function modules.
When we create a table maintanence generator, it creates function group.
in that function group there are lot of obsolete function modules are there. (in 4.7)
for ex: popup_to_confirm_step. now i need to replace to popup_to_confirm.
As it is in SAP Name space. we can not do any changes.
will it be any problem in ECC 6 for these table maintanence.
Thanks in advance.

Include a field in the table maintenance generator

Hi All,
There is a Z table with MATNR and another numeric field and the table maintenance generator exists for the table. The requirement is to include another field for MAKTX ( Material description) in the table maintenance generator with input disabled. Is it possible to do the same in the table maintenance generator else please suggest me the best solution.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Srinivasa,
This is quite simple, first add the field MAKTX into the Table and activate it .
Now again generate the Table maintainence for the table.
from Table maintainence generator go to the main program
there click the screen maintained for Table maintainence generator .
in the Pbo of the screen write the following code.
assume table name is table1.
Loop at screen.
if screen-name = table1-maktx.
screen-input = '0'.
modify screen.
endif.
endloop.
this will automatically disable the material description field in the Table Maintainence Generator.
This is will solve your problem

Hi,
Table Maintenance generator is required to do Manual entries in the Table. If the requirement is to update the table only programmatically and not manually then table maint. generator is not required.
Manual entries in table can be maintained ( New record can be inserted / existing can be modified ) using transaction SM 30, if the table maintenance for the table is generated.
How to activate Table maint.
