Using an event in table maintenance view to populate a field

I have a table maintenance view, and I would like to populate one field of the table with derived data. I am trying to do this by coding a routine for one of the events, but so far no luck. I have been able to chege the data in the TOTAL table, but still it does not populate the field on the screen.
Note this is not for one row as it is entered, but I want all rows of the table displayed to show this field with derived data.
So the question is: what is the correct event to use, and what is the correct internal table to update? Can I make changes to EXTRACT or TOTAL to do this?
Kind Regards,
Tony.

Hi Rob,
Sorry for being lazy; I'll close this and off and search :-}

How to use table maintenance view in module pool screen

hi ,
want to use table maintenance view in a module pool screen so that i can edit, insert, delete and update date in to the ztable.please help.

You can simply call it via SM30.   Or you can call the table maintence view from any program(report or module pool) using a function module.
call function 'VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL'
       exporting
            action                       = 'U'
            view_name                    = 'Z_Table_Name'
       exceptions
            client_reference             = 1
            foreign_lock                 = 2
            invalid_action               = 3

Table maintenance view Events

Hi
In My Z Table maintenance view i had implemented a new event 01- Before save. But my table entry's are not getting saved now and also i am not getting any error message.
Please help me on this.
Regards,
Naidu Vecahalapu.

Hi Naidu,
In the event code of the table maintenance view, please ensure that the SY-SUBRC is ZERO before exiting the sub-routine. Otherwise your changes (insert, update or delete) won't get updated and also you won't get any error message.

Events in a maintenance view

Hi,
I am doing some validations in the "Before Save to Database" event of a maintenance view. I am accessing the <viewname>_total table in the event and it works fine.
Now I am using this view in a view cluster. When I maintain the data through view cluster, this event gets triggered but the
<viewname>_total comes empty. What could be the reason for this? Is there any other alternative?
Thanks and regards,
Pankaj
Edited by: Pankaj on May 12, 2008 11:12 AM

Hello Pankaj,
In a View cluster, there are more than one view program being called by a common program. Hence, there is not a single TOTAL or EXTRACT structure for a single view, at any given point of time.
Instead, you can make use of the form routine vcl_set_table_access_for_obj in your event calls, and read the TOTAL and global variables for your current view. The method interface is like -
PERFORM vcl_set_table_access_for_obj USING '(name of your view)'
CHANGING lv_error_flag.
You can further define local variables/internal tables of relevant structures to read the data into, and proceed to implement your logic.

Aotu numbering in table maintenance view

Hi experts,
Can anybody help me in auto genereating serial number in table maintenance view. I have created table maintanance view for a z table for which first field is serial no. The requirement is this serial number should be auto genereted. increment by 1. I have writeen the code for the same in PAI event, but it getting incremented by number of rows. e.g for secind row counter is incremented by +2. for thrid row it is +3 and so on....
plz help to achieve consistency .
Thnks n regards,
Ashmita Singh

What happens if the user deletes a recird from the table?
Suhas,
Happy New Year
Disable delete function and provide a deletion indicator. This should be fine right.
The problem would be when the maintenance dialog is regenerated.
@OP - So as suggesgted use events.
Similar threads were discussed before many times. May be you culd search it once.

Table Maintenance & View Clusters

Hi,
I am trying to generate table maintenance views and group them using a view cluster. The following is what I have done so far.
I created 2 tables. TAB_A is the primary table with TAB_B the description by language table. They are not linked to each other in any way (even though they probably should).
TAB_A - FLD_A (key, char2)
              FLD_B (date)
              FLD_C (time)
              FLD_D (fltp16)
TAB_B - FLD_E (key, char2, same type as FLD_A)
              FLD_F (key, char3, language field)
              FLD_G (char50)
              FLD_H (date)
              FLD_I (time)
              FLD_J (fltp16)
I then created 2 maintenance views based on the tables above.
VIEW_A - FLD_A
          FLD_B (hidden)
          FLD_C (hidden)
          FLD_D (hidden)
VIEW_B - FLD_E
          FLD_F (hidden)
          FLD_G
          FLD_H (hidden)
          FLD_I (hidden)
          FLD_J (hidden)
I've then used the table maintenance generator to create the screens as well as the unique events to populate the hidden fields.
Using SE54, I've created a view cluster. I have added both of my views to the view cluster as follows:
View/table       TAB_A          TAB_B
Predecess.       TAB_A          TAB_B
Dep              R              R
Pos              1              2
Start            true
I have clicked the field-dependence button and generated the dependencies successfully.
So far everything is okay.
I now need to change the hierarchy in the cluster, so that TAB_B is dependent on TAB_A.
What I have tried so far is to add a foriegn key to TAB_B (this worked but is not an ideal solution).
I also changed the dependency type in the cluster to 'S' (only worked in conjunction with FK)
The documentation indicates that what I am trying to do is possible, but I'm not sure how.
So do any of you bright people out there have any ideas?
Be gentle I'm new to both the forum and SAP in general (hence being given table maintenance).
Kind regards
Chris

In my experience, cluster maintenance view Table 1 keys where always used as foreign keys in Table 2. Then these common fields were used in dependencies and subset.
- Creation of maintenance view on table 1
- Then generation of maintenance dialog on Table 1
- Creation of maintenance view on table 2 defining the keys of Table 1 as subset fields (test the dialog, a popup should appear with the subset fields)
- Then generation of maintenance dialog on Table 2
- Creation of the cluster generating the dependency between Table 1 and itself (without specifying any field) and between Table 1 and table 2 using the subset fields (should work automatically)

How to hide a field from table maintenance view?

Hi,
How to hide a field from table maintenance view?
The field is used for data created date. I need to hide it from display.
Thanks

Maintenance Attributes
You can assign a maintenance attribute P to individual fields in the maintenance view definition in the Dictionary (SE11). It can be H (hidden)
H (hidden)
A field flagged H is not displayed on the screen. This field must also be filled in the background by a routine at an event.
The system writes R and H fields to the database like all other fields when a new data record is saved.

Refresh data in Table Maintenance view

Hi,
I have created a table maintenance view for db table A and added my function button to this view. When I click the button I append a few records to the table A from table B. But this recoreds are not displaied in the view.
If I rerun the view I can see added records.
How I have to refresh the view to display added records?
Regards,
Ilya

Hi Jesus,
COMMIT WORK isn't help me.
I found that I have to use TOTAL and EXTRACT structures to modify data in maintenance view.
It's fine. I do something like this in my FM
MODULE 9CUSTOM_PF_BUTTON INPUT.
lt_total[] = total[].
lt_extract[] = extract[].
CASE function.
      WHEN '9DOWNSH'.
         modify lt_total from wa_total.
         modify lt_extract from wa_extract
ENDCASE.
total[]   = lt_total[].
extract[] = lt_extract[].
ENDMODULE.                 " 9CUSTOM_PF_BUTTON INPUT
But TOTL and EXTRACT tables contain data of the current maintenance view.
I work with a view cluster and I have to append or delete records from one view if I do something in other view.
How I can modify data one view from another maintenance view?
If I have modified database tables directly I don't see changes in the view cluster.

Malnor

Reg :-maintain a table maintenance view for the z table.suggest me the code

i have question.i have created a z table related to pp module.the requirement is to maintain {table maintenance view} for this z table.how could this be done.can any one suggest me the code for this?

Hi ,
We have a lots of queries on table maintainance creation in the forum posted and replied to.Pls have a look at it first.
In se11 -> change mode of the ztable -> goto -> utilities -> table maintainance generator -> click on it...
it will give a new screen-> enter the required details like function group , authorisation(use &NC& or leave it blank if you dont know) and screens
2 step and 1 step means=> number of screens displayed in maintainace
if step1 is selected then we have a screen which will be like a table control for data entry.........
for step2 we have a table control screen and a more detailed individual field display as second screen
click on the button 'find screen numbers' so that system automatically proposes the screen numbers
after which click on the "create" button and follow the required instructions/messages
once done go to SM30 enter the table name to check if maintainance has been created properly
Hope it helps,Pls check and revert
Regards

Table maintenance view - tcode

Hi experts,
We have a tcode (already in production) created for table maintenace view of z-table.
Everything is working fine.
Now I added one new field to the z-table and changed the table maintenance view accordingly. In SM30 I can maintain the table without difficulties - the new field is visible and maintenable. However, when I call the transaction code created for this view, it doesn't have the new field yet. I tried a lot but without success to update the tcode accordingly.
How can I get the tcode adjusted with the new field?
Thanks for your advise and help in advance!
Your feedback will be << appreciated >>.
Regards,
Sally

It's about one week you asked the question, but I answer in case you didn't understand what happened:
First, screens 1000-1010 can't be used in a table maintenance dialog (an error is mentioned by SAP when you try to use these numbers). So, I really don't understand how you can get 1000 in your table view!
So, I think that your transaction is linked to a custom program (not the SM30 view). So you just need to adapt manually the custom program. Note: maybe the program is a partial copy of the SM30 function group, so maybe you may just copy the dynpro 1000 of the SM30 function group to the dynpro 1001 of your custom program...
Note: when you want to create a transaction which is linked to a table maintenance view (SM30), you must define a Z* transaction of type parameter, with reference to SM30 transaction, select "skip initial screen", do not choose any dynpro, and choose VIEWNAME = your view and UPDATE = X as parameter values.

Table maintenance view -user exit

Hello, as you all know, there is a program generated behind the table maintenance view. I want to add certain validation on the values entered in the table maintenance.
I know that modifying the program is not the best practice.
Is there any user exit which will permit me to do this?
thx.

Hi Antish,
Try to go with the table events. For this goto the Table Maintenance Generator Screen --> Environment --> Modification --> Events. Here you can handle some events according to your requirement. Validations can be done only in this way.

Table Maintenance View Transport Request

Hello everybody,
I need to use the table maintenance view for a customizing table without prompting for transport request is there a way to do this????, the customizing table is a Z table, the table was defined before like this because of the data in it, thanks in advance.

Julio Cesar

Hi Julio,
Sure: use SE11 for the Z-table, in menu Utilities->Table Maintenance generator and switch off the recording routine option.

Table maintenance view problem

Hi. I'm trying to generate a table maintenance view for a custom table, and I keep getting an error message. I go into the table maintenance view generator and fill out the fields. I'm selecting a function group that has ZHR0 as the development class (which is correct). Then when I click on the create button a screen pops up with the workbench request number. When I click on the continue button, I get the following error message: "The maintenance object description has no transportable class." If I click for more information, this is what it says to do: "Either assign the maintenance object description for object ZTS_ADJST_REAS to acorrectable development class, or assign the table forthe generation of the maintenance module to a function group with non-correctable development classes." Apparently the maintenance object description somehow got assigned to temporary class $TMP. Where do I go to change this?
Thanks,
April King

Hi April,
You can use standard program <b>RSWBO052</b> to change the package. Enter the object and mark the checkbox -> Execute -> Place the cursor in the object -> Right click mouse -> Reassign -> Enter new package -> Save.
or you can go to transaction SE80 -> Select Package -> Enter &TMP -> Hit Enter -> Find your object -> put the cursor and right click -> Other functions -> Object Directory Entry -> Change -> Change the package -> Save.
Hope this will help.
