Can any 1 help me in this regard?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
column is not visible
This may be because of additioni of a new field in the table after you have generated the TMG.
Delete and re-create the object in TMG again.

Yes, you can write.

Select the event ..eg.

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!

'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

About table maintenance generator

hi,
1. why we have to give a function group name while creating table maintenance generator for a ztable.
2. while creating tmg we have to check one of the radio button under recording routine. wht does recording routine means?

Hi,
Function Group - this will create a default main program where you can store the
events for the table maintainence.( where you can write the code for the table
maitainece)
standard recording - when the changes in the table maitainence automatically it will create request for the data to transport.
no recording - this will not create request(when you don't require the data in
Development server to transported to testing or Testing - to -Production.
atthat time you can select the radio button foe NO RECORDING.

Table maintenance generator - + symbol instead of field label

Hi All,
I have created the table maintenance generator for the table and I have created theh transaction code the same as like SM30 and if I execute that transaction ocde, I can see all the fields with the correct description at the initial screen level. If I say New entries... Here I could not able to see the field description for the table fields for which the data element is not maintained.
Is there any solution to resolve this problem without maitaining the data elements for that fields.
Thanks in advance.

Ramesh.

By far the easiest way of doing this is to maintain the description on the data elements. Why don't you want to do this?

Table maintenance Generator + Tcode for SM30

Hi,
I have created a table maintenance generator for a Z table. Then I created a transaction from SE93 for SM30 and passing table name as parameter.
My requirement is that the user should only be able to delete records from the Z table. It should not allow to insert or modify records.
When I execute the transaction created above it is allowing to insert, modify and delete records from Z table.
How to solve this issue? Please help.
Thanks in advance....
Regards,
Sriram

Hi Sriram,
I don't know why your language has changed to German. When I change status ZULG, the language remains English.
To see what happens I have created new maintenance screens and I went into the Modification --> User Interface.
On the next screen I pressed Copy User Interface and after that I got a warning about diferent languages. I just pressed enter. Now the popup screen gives me the possibility to change the interface. I went straight into change mode, without switching to individual interface. I changed status ZULG (everything is in German), activated the status and returned to SE55.
When I start SM30 , all texts are in German.
Because this is not what you and I want, I started again, I deleted my table maintance and created it again. Went into the modification of user interface again and again copied the user interface. Now I went into change mode and I looked at my user interface (in display mode) and all texts are in German. Went back to the strat screen of the menu painter, ACTIVATED THE USER INTERFACE and now, when I change the status ZULG, all texts are in English.
So, all you need to do is activate the user interface before you change it.
When you have a 2-screen table maintenance (an overview and a detail screen), you might want to change status ZUDG as well.
Kind regards, I hope you succeed this time around.
Tom.

Table maintenance generator for a custom table

Hi All,
I have a requirement.
I had created a custom table with 5 fields with partner_id as the key field.
I had generated the table maintenance for this.
But, when i maintain via sm30, the maintenance screen should display 7 fields, i.e
for the partnerid, the firstname and the lastname has to be display as the second and third column.
So, in the maintnenace screen sm30, i should have 7 fields display... but actually in real custom table, there will be only five fields (except firstname and lastname of partner).
Please guide me how to do this development.
Do i need to change the code generated via table maintenance and add these two fields in the table control and code to retreive the values for the firstname and lastname.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Jaffer ali.S

it is not a wise idea to add your custom fields in standard sap table maintenance generator screens..
each time you do a re - generate, (in case you added a new field in the table, or changed a data element, ) you will have to regenerate your tabe maintenance generator, and you will lose your code...
in this case, it will be better to create a custom screen with these fields and write code to populate the table..
or to make it easy, create a maintenance view with all fields required,

What is the purpose of TABLE MAINTENANCE GENERATOR IN ABAP DDIC

CAN ANY EXPLAIN ME
1.what is the purpose of TABLE MAINTENANCE GENERATOR IN ABAP DDIC?
2. AND THE CONTENTS IN ITS TABS.
KINDLY LET ME KNOW.IT IS URGENT
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

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.
Why we have to go for Table maintenance generator, when we can edit the table by SE16 or SE11, utilities->create entries?
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:
1. When we choose one step, we have to give the screen number in Overview Screen field.
2. 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.
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).

Table Maintenance Generator via program using ALV OO concept

Hi All,
I have a requriement to update the table using OO ALV i.e table maintenance generator program.
My Z table have three fields say.. NEW status, old status and flag.
I have to dispaly the records of the Z table in Matrix format.
for example the records of the Z table is
New status
Old status
Flag
N1
O11
F11
N1
O12
F12
N1
O13
F13
N2
O21
F21
N2
O22
F22
N2
O23
F23
N3
O31
F31
N3
O32
F32
N3
O33
F33
My program have to display the records of the table in matrix format i.e
|   .....       |    O11    | O12 | O13   | O21 | O22   |   O23 | O31   |   O32 | O33 | ..
|     N1    |     F11     |    F12     | F13     |    .....   | .....       | ....        | .....      |   .......     |   ....    | ..   ____________________________________________________________________________________
|    N2     |     .....     | ......      | .......      |   F21   |   F22     | F23      |   ...        |   .....       | ......   | .
|     N3    |     ......   |   .....      | .......   . | .......   | .......     | ....         |   F31     |    F32      | F33   |
The ALV display is dynamic i.e it depends upon the no. of records in the table...
My headings( Row heading and Column heading ) will be the value from table... and the user should be able to change the Flag ... For example when the user change the Flag 'F21' to say 'X',
|   .....       |    O11    | O12 | O13   | O21 | O22   |   O23 | O31   |   O32 | O33 | ..
|     N1    |     F11     |    F12     | F13     |    .....   | .....       | ....        | .....      |   .......     |   ....    | ..   ____________________________________________________________________________________
|    N2     |     .....     | ......      | .......      |   X       |   F22     | F23      |   ...       |   .....       | ......    | .
|     N3    |     ......   |   .....      | .......   .   | ....... | .......     | ....       |   F31      |    F32     |   F33    | .
In the Z table the record is
                 N2          O21        F21
should be changed to
                N2          O21        X
I tried using ALV oo concept....but I can able to display the output as like it is in table ....Not like the one above format....
Can you please help me to resolve it?
Thanx in advance

Two table maintenance generator for one table

Can we created two table maintenance generator for one ztable. if yes then what will be the steps.

Hi Prem,
Why you need two table maintenance generator for a single table?
We can generate only single table maintenance generator for a single table.
you can add modification event in inside table maintenance if you need anything to change or validate in insde your table maintenance generator.

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?
