Want a magnifying glass button in table maintenance

How can I get a magnifying glass button in the table maintenance ??
help me out in this ASAP
thanks in advance

Hi Naval,
While creating the table maintanance , User 'two screen' Option button and specify two screens. The system will creates magnifying glass butoon automatically (Used for showning details of a record).
If you want your own functionality define a user defined module in PAI of maintanance screen and you can add your own button. It is little bit tricky.

'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

Additional buttons in Table Maintenance generated program

Hello all,
I'm looking for a way to add additional buttons on the generated table maintenance program. Such a program is generated via Dictionary transaction SE11 and then the Menu choice Utillities --> Table Maintenance generator (or use transactiob SE54).
The program generated is based on the standard SAP function group SVIM (of which components are copied to the table maintenance program). In the function group SVIM the STATUS objects are located (but they are standard SAP). In order to modify them (add some additional buttons) i am seeking a method for this.
Thanks in advance,
Rob.

Hi Rob,
Use transaction SE54, enter the name of your table, choose radiobutton 'Generated Objects' and choose 'Create/Change'. In the next screen there is an option in the menu Environment -> Modification -> User Interface. Here you can choose to use an Individual Interface where you can add the buttons you need.
Regards,
John.

How change Gui Status of a Table maintenance

Could you tell me how can do it.

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.

I want to change the width of table maintenance screen in sm30 of a view. I am trying to change it through screen painter.
But its giving me error - screen or window limit reached. I want to increase the widht to show all the fields at once.

Also, earlier in table maintenance generator of view, there was one step selected. I changed it to two steps and re-generated the TMG. But again Its showing only one screen in sm30.

Using a change document for Z table maintenance generatro to log changes

Hi Forum,
I have created a a change document for one of the Z tables now I want to use it in the table maintenance generator of this table so that any changes made to this table using maintenance generator are logged in table CDHDR and CDPOS.
I am using the event 02 After saving the data in the database
and have created a new FORM..ENDFORM for this event and it is working fine till here.
But I am unable to find any table or structure where the information of the action performed in maintenance generator is kept for eg. what action was performed like add, delete or change and on how many records and contents of those records.
I can update the tables CDHDR and CDPOS only if I have the above information.
Please guide me as to where can I find all this information within the maintenenace generator program?
Thank you,
Anubhav

Hello Anubhav,
Are you calling the change document function module in your save event ? The function module needs to be first created using SCDO for your Z table, select the fields on which you want to track the changes. Auto generate the programs for this change object. Once the FM is generated, you will have to call this FM in your SM30 event.
The change document tracking also needs to be enabled at the data element level..

Jay

How to make a magnifying glass link to a look up table ?

Dear Friends,
Hello. I am developing the accounting application of journal entry. In journal line, I use the image "magnifying glass" next to each chart field. When we click on the magnifying glass, it's supposed to come up a look up table( a chart and name mapping table), and we select the proper chart to input into the chart field.
I understand to create another record and page for the look up table. But I don't understand how to make a magnifying glass link to a look up table. Can anybody tell me how to do that ? Thanks.
Lucy

This is how it works,
Table A (which stores chart fields). You have used fields from table A on a page so that users can input data.
You don't need to put a magnifying glass image or create a new page to achieve look up page.
all you need to do is create another table say Table B which should have the chart field and corresponding description you want to show on lookup page. Then open record-field property of the chart field on Table A and mention Table B as prompt table.

Table Maintenance Object - Hide New Entries button

Hello,
Does anyone know how to hide the "New Entries" button in a table maintenance object?
I want to allow editing of the table, but I don't want to allow new lines to be inserted.
The generated screens do not have a gui status. I guess the gui status is part of SM30 and not part of the maintnenance object itself.
Thanks
Doug

Reward properly.

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.
