Table maintenance generator and Change pointers

If a Ztable contains table maintenance generator, then the change pointers will not work?

Hi Saraoja,
If you want make active your change pointers for your Ztable, then in your Zfields, get into the Data element and click futher Characteristics tab, there you have one check box called Change document, Check that box and activate your data element again.Now your Zfield changes will reflect in CDHDR and CDPOS.
Thanks

first two fields are custom fields but the third custom field need to validate the standard table adrc contains the value of the field addrnumber.
i need the query of field validation query which we write in create entry events in table maintenance generator and also if we give wrong value for addrnumber in sm30 maintain table, the input field need not to be grey out for next entry...

Reg. table maintenance generator and function group

I am trying to create a table maintenance for a custom table. It is asking for a function group. Should I create a new function group for each table maintenance I generate?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Hi Krishen,
You can also assign authorization groups to tables to avoid users accessing tables using general access tools (such as transaction SE16). A user requires not only authorization to execute the tool, but must also have authorization to be permitted to access tables with the relevant group assignments. For this case, we deliver tables with predefined assignments to authorization groups. The assignments are defined in table TDDAT; the checked authorization object is S_TABU_DIS.
You can assign a table to authorization group Z000. (Use transaction SM30 for table TDDAT) A user that wants to access this table must have authorization object S_TABU_DIS in his or her profile with the value Z000 in the field DICBERCLS (authorization group for ABAP Dictionary objects).
Please check this link for more info.

Hi Abbu_sap
I am agree with Rock's answere.
go to utilities->table maintenance generator and delete it.
After it recreate it in a similar manner as you created earlier and save it.
it will work fine.
As I also do this every time I change the table and it works fine for me.

Thanks in advance,

Hi ,
Table Maintenance generator is used to maintain data in table , instead of giving access to se11 , we create a tcode for this table maintenance generator and we will give this tcode to end-user to maintain data
To generate table Maintenance generator :
click on UTILITIES in menu bar
-> table maintenance generator
-> enter Authorization Group as : &NC&
-> Enter Function Group : name of your table ( so it will create a function group , to check this function group go to tcode se80 : then select function and enter your Table name )
-> Then click on find screen numbers in Application tool bar.
-> Then click on create button in Application tool bar
if it is created successfully , then you will get a status message like table maintained generator is created successfully.

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.

What is the use of table maintance generator and how it is used ddic

hi dear friends
i would like to know about how the table maintaience generator is used in ddic .i have the step by step processor of that but i would like to know importance and advantages of it .

Nani,
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 maintenance generator events

Hi,
I have created a table maintenance generator and want to populate sy-uname and sy-datum into two fields during SAVE. So I went to Environment -> Modification -> Events and selected "01" event i.e. "Before saving the data in the database" and entered Form routine as "F_UPDATE_UNAME_UDATE". Then if I go to SM30 transaction it goes to dump.
Could you please tell whether I am missing any point?
Regards,
Balaji Viswanath.

Hi,
Pasted it below.
Runtime Error          PERFORM_NOT_FOUND
Except.                CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FORM
Date and Time          01/31/2008 09:26:52
ShrtText
     Call (PERFORM) to a non-existent routine.
What happened?
     The current program attempted to call an externally defined routine
     that does not exist.
     Error in ABAP application program.
     The current ABAP program "SAPLZTEST321" had to be terminated because one of the
     statements could not be executed.
     This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
     The current ABAP program had to be terminated because the
     ABAP processor detected an internal system error.
     The current ABAP program "SAPLZTEST321" had to be terminated because the ABAP
     processor discovered an invalid system state.
What can you do?
     Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
     and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
     error.
     To resolve the problem, contact your SAP system administrator.
     You can use transaction ST22 (ABAP Dump Analysis) to view and administer
      termination messages, especially those beyond their normal deletion
     date.
    is especially useful if you want to keep a particular message.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
    . The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FORM',
     was neither
    caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure
     "PREPARE_SAVING" "(FORM)"
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
     to occur, the running program was terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    The program "SAPLZTEST321" is meant to execute an external PERFORM,
    namely the routine "F_UPDATE_UNAME_UDATE " of the program "SAPLZTEST321 ", but
    this routine does not exist.
    This may be due to any of the following reasons:
    1. One of the programs "SAPLZTEST321" or "SAPLZTEST321 " is currently being
     developed.
    The name "F_UPDATE_UNAME_UDATE " of the called routine may be incorrect, or
    the routine "F_UPDATE_UNAME_UDATE " is not yet implemented in the program
     "SAPLZTEST321 ".
    2. If the program SAPMSSY1 is involved in the runtime error, one of
    the function modules called via RFC is not flagged as remote-capable.
    (see Transaction SE37 Goto->Administration->RFC flag)
    3. There is an inconsistency in the system. The versions of the
    programs "SAPLZTEST321" and "SAPLZTEST321 " do not match.
How to correct the error
    - Check that transports to the system are complete.
    - Conclude any developments already begun ("SAPLZTEST321" and/or "SAPLZTEST321
    - Check routine names
    You may able to find an interim solution to the problem
    in the SAP note system. If you have access to the note system yourself,
    use the following search criteria:
    "PERFORM_NOT_FOUND" CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_FORMC
    "SAPLZTEST321" or "LSVIMF14"
    "PREPARE_SAVING"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and you wish to send
    an error message to SAP, include the following documents:
    1. A printout of the problem description (short dump)
       To obtain this, select in the current display "System->List->
       Save->Local File (unconverted)".
    2. A suitable printout of the system log
       To obtain this, call the system log through transaction SM21.
       Limit the time interval to 10 minutes before and 5 minutes
       after the short dump. In the display, then select the function
       "System->List->Save->Local File (unconverted)".

Dear experts,
I hv created a TMC for customize table with field lifnr and name1. I am getting F4 for lifnr field and the requirement is
when i enter vendor code and press enter, the name field should be populated automatically from LFA1 table.
When I go in edit mode in TMC, it ask for access key. Can anyone guide me how to resolve above???

Dear Jaspal,
To fetch the NAME1 automatically, you need to write the logic in the Table Maintenance Generator.
Goto -> Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator.
Inside TMG,
Goto -> Environment -> Modification -> Events.
Click -> New Entries. Create a Form Routine.
Inside the Form Routine,
Write the select Statement as,

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!

Table Maintenance Generator : Editable Entry after validation fails

Hi,
I have created a Z table and a table maintenance generator to maintain the data.
I have to carry out certain validations when user enters data on Key and Non- key fields.
This is working fine, but the issue is with the key fields.
If validation fails, the table maintenance screen is displayed the date-field is grayed out (non-editable) as it is the key field of the table.
Now the user cannot change the data unlike the non-key fields were the user can modify the non-valid data and save again.
How can make the date field (Key Field) editable after entry in case the validation fail, so that the user can make the changes.
Please suggest the approach to handle the above scenario in events.
Thanks,
Keyur

Thanks Kiran for your inputs.
I have done the same thing what you have explained.
I have used a Form Routine as CIP_SAVE with Event Number as 01, since on event SAVE i need to validate whether dates are
overlapping the inputs dates or not.
Fields are :
Group ID (Key)
Start Date (Key)
End Date (Key)
Value (Non -Key)
Initial value in Table:
Group ID = 12345
Start Date = 01/01/2011
End Date = 01/31/2011
Value = 11.11
Now if i try to enter value:
Group ID = 12345
Start Date = 01/02/2011
End Date = 01/25/2011
Value = 99.99
& SAVE it... validation will fails because Start & End dates overlaps.
Hence, on Table Maintainance Screen all key fields will be in non-editable display mode, whereas non-key field will be in editable mode.
My requirement is that Start Date & End Date key fields must be Editable field.
Thanks.
