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.

Button "Position" can't work in sm30 when use Table maintenance generator

Hello guys,
i have created a table and use 'Table Maintenance Generator' to generate the code. When i run sm30 and click the button 'Position', it can not work.
i enter '/h' to debug it and find the value'POSI' is not assigned to ok_code.
Some tables created before are OK. What's the matter with it?
Many Thanks

hello daniel,
there is very possibility that some inconsistency might be occured while generating table maintenance generator. So i would advice u to create ur table maintenance generator once more after deleting the current one.

Excel download functionality in Table maintenance generator

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement.
I have to create a custom table and should have a table maintenance for that.
I can do this via table maintenance generator.
But after creating this, in the maintenance screen, i should have a button. On clicking the button, a popup should ask for excel file name and after specifying the file name all the data in the maintenance screen has to get downloaded to a excel file.
So, my idea to implement is, change the code generated by table maintenance generator, to accomplish this.
In the menu painter, create a button. and have a ok code for that.
In the screen painter, design a screen with filename field and have a ok button. Accept the filename input and close the screen and then for that ok code in the PAI module, use GUI_DOWNLOAD function to download the excel file to the specified location.
Please review this and please let me know if there is any alternative solution for this requirement.
Thanks,
Jaffer Ali.S

Hi,
After maintaining table maintenence generator maintain one push button in pai of the table program .
in that when 'download'.
call function module f4_filename it will ask file name enter that value.
after using gui_download you can down load to excel file.
To download from SAP to Excel:
Transaction SE16N allows you to access any sap table and download result to Excel
no other alternative for this.

Validating non key fields in table maintenance generator

Hi,
I ma using events for table maintenance generator event 05 ,there i want to validate non key fields ......i am throwing error message ....all the non key fields are getting in display mode ...i need them to enable to enter values ....
please suggest
Thanks,
Shailaja Ainala.

Hi Shailaja,
Its property of error message, which makes it as non-editable.
You can display either status or info message after validation check.
And finally before saving (before save event) display error message, so that it invalid entries doesnt get saved.
Thanks,

Table maintenance generator is not saving entries.

Hi All,
I am facing problem in table maintenance generator.
I created a table maintenance for Z-Table.
In my table last 2 fields are a checkbox.
When we go to Sm30 and check/uncheck the boxes then save , message comes tht data saved , but when we come out and go back to maintenance generator , it's not saved.
while table maintenance in 2 step , then on detail screen it is working perfectly but on primary screen it's not.
when TM is single step , it's show entries saved but not saving in data.
I tried to delete and regenerate table maintenance but still not working .
Please guide me to ractify this.
Thanks in advance,
Ashish Gautam

Hello Friend,
Check with th etechnical settings of the ztable:
see if your buffereing is allowed, and log data chnages is checked.
If so :
Then select buffereing is not allowed and uncheck the Log Data Changes:
Also go to TMG:
Check if standard recording routine is selected, then select the no, or user recording routine.
After making these changes, delete the TMG and create a new one once again. You can check it will work fine now.
Thanks and regards,

Event for input validation in custom table (table maintenance generator)

Hello all,
I look for a solution to execute an event after the modification of a table field of a custom table to validate the user's input.
I already tried event 07 (Execution : Before correcting the contents of a selected field) of the table maintenance generator but it will be executed after some modification made by the Edit -> Change field action.
I could use the event 01 but in my opinion this event happens to late and errors are very uncomfortable for the user at that time.
Editing the dynpro events is not a solution for me because it should be easy to maintain the table structure at any time.
Thank you in advance
Robert

Thank you!
Event 08 just starts after the saving process after Event 07.
Event 18 gets executed when I click on the save button.
I want to check the data after the enter button was pressed as you can see it in several transactions.

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.

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.

Table Maintenance Generator - Lock of entries from different user

Hi there,
It looks like that there are a lot of threads about table maintenance generators, but none related with this one. The case is when I created a customer table Ztable and using table maintenace generator to get the Tcode Ztcode. My questions is how can 2 different user at the same time running this Ztocde without locking with each other?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
From what I know it can be done through customer ABAP program transaction code but not from Table maintenance generator generated Tcode.
Any suggestion?

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.

Disabling fields in table Maintenance generator

Hi Experts,
I would like to restrict some fields in table maintenance generator dynamically/ statically.
Here is the situation.
I have generated table maintenance for the table ZMARA and I have created three transactions for the above single table maintenance generator.
i.e .. Transaction      ---        Table
          ZT1                  ---         ZMARA
          ZT2                  ---          ZMARA
          ZT3                  ---          ZMARA
I am using above three transactions in my module pool program. Based on the certain conditions I am calling different transactions i.e ZT1, ZT2, etc
Here is my requirement:
Suppose if I call ZT1 transaction, I need to display only few fields. i.e ZMATNR, ZMTART, ZPRODH.
or remaining fields should disable. User should not allow to change the content, even if it is new entries/existing entries. only ZMATNR, ZMTART, ZPRODH.
Suppose if I call ZT2 transaction, I need to display only few fields. i.e ZMATNR, ZMTART, ZHTSCODE
How can we restrict dynamically when you call table maintenance generator table through transaction
or
How can we generate table maintenance for few fields?

Hi ,
go to Se11->Table maintenace generation. Double click on screen to edit and assign the field you want to display/hide to groups. In PBO , after the following lines..
LOOP AT EXTRACT WITH CONTROL
TCTRL_ZMARA                         CURSOR NEXTLINE.
   MODULE LISTE_SHOW_LISTE.
ENDLOOP.
Write a new module in PBO and edit the SCREEN as per the Tcode, you are calling,,'
Hope this helps you

Recreate table maintenance generator

Hi,
I've created one Z table ,generated table maintenance also and moved to quality.But after that we changed the table structure by making few fieds as key fields.Will it be a problem if we dont recreate the table maintenance?
thanks in advance,
poornima

Hello Poornima,
Yes you need to recreate the Table maintenance generator once again.
When you create the Table Maintenance internally in a Function Group a Include will be created and
If you write any validations for the fields in the table that you have created then it will store that code in that Include in Function group so when you make any changes you always have to check whether it is activated or not..
To check this go to SE37 and click on Go to on the top of the Toolbar, Click on Function groups, click on Display Function group and provide your Function group name there in that you can find whether it is activate or not.
Also you need to adjust the Database as specified above.
Hope this helps.

Kittu

'Position' Button in Table Maintenance Generator

Hi,
i am using 'Position' button to navigate to particular entry in the table in table maintenance generator.
as far as i know this will correctly when we provide 'left part' of key in the pop up provided by position button.
however in my case where i changed the column positions in the table maintenance generator which includes key fields.
does it going to affect 'Position' functionality? because position button is not taking me to correct positions now.
please suggest....

Did you change the key field order in the table structure in SE11 or did you manipulate the table maintenance screens by changing the key column order?
In either case, you can regenerate table maintenance by clicking the change button in SE55 and selecting all check boxes. This will correct the issue. However, check if you have any custom events written or modified screens, as those changes will have to be restored after regeneration
