Can we assingn a transaction code to the table maintenance genarator

Hi Gurrus ,
Can we assign a transaction code to the table maintenance genarator code .

Hi,
refere this link,
http://fuller.mit.edu/misc/creating_sm30_transaction.htm
VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL : or SM30 is actually called u201CCall View Maintenance
In a nutshell, this program provides a simple selection screen with VKORG, radiobutton for either dollar amount or quantity, and two pushbuttons: Display and Maintain. Then the program fills in the action field and the selection table (i_sellilst) according to the useru2019s selections. When the button is pushed, the screen goes to the same screen as SM30 (sans the first selection screen, of course) and brings up the values that fit the criteria. When the user clicks u201Cbacku201D (green arrow)
reward if found useful..

What is table maintenance generator

What is table maintenance generator? how is it to create and wt is it's use?

Hi
It is used for maintaining the tables.
Process
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.

What is Table Maintenance Allowed ?

What is the Table Maintenance Allowed in Table attributes... And where it is utilized in practical environment ?

Hi,
The option Table Maintenance allowed with restrictions means -
Display/maintenance is allowed to limited extent.
Usage of standard table maintenance tools is allowed to a limited extent:
- Transaction SE16 allows the display function for this
 table/view, but no maintenance.
- Generation of a maintenance dialog for this table/view is
 possible through transaction SE54.
- Transaction SM30 does not allow maintenance and display
 functions for this table/view.
For more information about what the other two options mean, just place your cursor on that field and click on F1.
No, the maintenance is only for the table's contents (data).
If the table is allowed for maintenance, then the user will be able to go to the SE16 / SM30 transaction and change / delte the contents of the table. So, we would generally use the Authorization concept to see to it that this does not happen. But even if the user is not able to change anything in SE16, it simple doesn't make sense to make the table table with transaction data maintainable.
If you change the data element and / or domain of the table fields, then you will have to use the database utility (you can find this under the Utilities menu). The database utility takes care of any possible data truncation etc., and will tell you whether this table can be altered.
Strictly speaking, Table maintenance option is intended for the end-users. But in some cases, I have known the testing teams to enable the table maintainable and populate it with various test data to test the functionality for various cases. Finally, when they are through with testing, the table maintenance is again disallowed and the table is delivered to the production system. This might be desirable because when the table is newly created in the development environment, it would not be having any data in it. so we might have to create some data in it ourselves for testing purposes.
Hope that is clear.

Anand Mandalika.

Need information for table maintenance genarator?

HI Sir,
I have a tcode for table maintenance generator of Z table, my requirement is to add new field to that Z table.
Is it required to maintain table maintenance generator again for that table and how to assign the same tcode for that.
plz help me to solve this.
thanks and regards
syed
Basic question. Please put some effort from your side before posting here. You have already been warned against breaking the rules of this forum. Continued violations will lead to account deletion.
Edited by: kishan P on Sep 2, 2010 11:59 AM

Hi Taj,
When you add your new field in the table, the table gets partially active first, then you need to Adjust the table using Database Utility (SE14) to get the table activated.
For Database Utility see online help [Database Utility|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/EN/a4/3790360ee65840e10000009b38f839/frameset.htm]
Then You need to regenerate the table maintainence Generator.
Hope this helps.

Short dump in table maintenance genarator

hi all,
in SM30 i gave my table name and clicked on maintain it is going to short dump?
what may be the reason?
regards,
siri.

hi,
I feel that while regeneratng table maintainence after deletion you have to come out of that completely(till SE11) and then press table maintianence generator and create... hope you might have not done the same and so is the result of that dump as the changes were not reflected..
Regards,
Santosh

Reg table maintenance

what is the pre requisite for table maintenance generator

IN Se11, when you create table you can create the table maintenance generator there.
In utilities you will see table maintenance genarator. YOu have to create a function group. TO be on a safer side use the same name as the table name for the function group. and then create.
Hope this helps.

Problem with table maintenance allowed

hi,
here my problem is table is genarated and stored under local object that time i m creating function group is zabc. afterwards i m storing my table in my development class that time it is not possible to change function group in table maintenance genarator plz help me any one knows.
what is the exact use of table maintenance generator i m using this for ztables and i m going to screen painter i m adjesting the fields.what is the exact use of it.

Hi,
1) You may delete the function group assignment and re-assign another one in change mode
2) The use of table maintenance generator is to provide users with a screen to maintain data in the table. If the data is not going to be populated by any users then there is no need for it. Transactions will automatically populate the data in the background
3) One can access the maintenance screen by going to SM30 or can assign your own transaction code to access it
Hope it helps.

Problem in creating table maintenance generator for 61 fields in table

Hi Experts,
I am facing problem in creating a table maintenance genarator for a ZTABLE which has 61 fields
i am using below details whicle creating the TMG
in Maintenance screen
i am giving maintenance type as two step
Maint screen no overview screen 2
 single screen 3
Dialog Data Transport details
Recording routine standard recording routine
but it is giving following error
screen SAPL<ZTABLE NAME> 0003 could not be generated
In DYNPFIELD_ATTR mandatory field LINE has no value
please let me know how to sort out these errors.
Is there any limit on the number of fields for which we can create table maintenance generetor.
Thanks a lot in advance
Sudipto

Hi Sudipto,
There is not limit to the number of fields of the Table which can be used in TMG for generation. But, from the usability point of view this will horrible.
I created a Z table and added 64 fields and was able to generate the TMG with the screens perfectly. So, I guess there should not be any problem.
Well, have a look at the Function Group. I guess the screen numbers are already used by some other screens. You can set the system to propose freely available screen numbers from the pool.
Also, check whether proper authorization is assigned or not.
And if nothing is working, you can degenerate all the generated screens and then can have a new regeneration of it.
Hope these tips will work.
Thanks,
Samantak

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>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 28, 2008 11:42 AM

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).

How to use the table maintenance events for validating the input entries..?

Hi,
I have created a Z table with 6 fields in which all are KEY fields. All are of CHAR type. I have created the Table Maintenance Generator for the same. While maintaining the entries in the table, even though I maintain a blank entry for a field it is saving the entry. But, I don't want that way. All the fields are mandatory in my table. One should enter all the fields. Otherwise it should not allow to save the entry. So, I think it can be done using the Table Maintenance Events. can someone tell me how to use the Table Maintenance Events. and which event to use for my reuqirement and what is the logic to be written.
Or Is there any other way to solve my problem.
Please share your inputs. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
paddu.

In the table maintenance generator, Environment --> Modifications --> Events then a screen will be appear here,we need to create the Events.In the EVENTS screen, press new Entries, there give 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database) and give a name(This will become a PERFORM), then click the Editor pushbutton, this will be there at the right side of the entry, then a popup will be appear, you can create an include program, there inside of the include program write ur code.
Here is documentation for Event 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database )
Event 01: Before Saving the Data in the Database
Use
This event occurs before new, changed or deleted entries are written to the database. Other activities can be performed, for example:
hidden entry processing
fill hidden fields
flag data to be written to hidden tables after the database change.
To have the changes saved by the central maintenance dialog routines, SY-SUBRC must be set to 0 at the end of the routine.
Realization
This event has no standard routine. The following global data is available for the realization of the user routine:
internal table TOTAL
field symbols
field symbols <ACTION> and <ACTION_TEXT>
<STATUS>-UPD_FLAG
If internal table data are to be changed before saving, t he changes should be made in both the internal table TOTAL and in the internal table EXTRACT.
FORM abc.
DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX. "Index to note the lines found
LOOP AT TOTAL.
IF <ACTION> = desired constant.
READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
ELSE.
CLEAR F_INDX.
ENDIF.
(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
MODIFY TOTAL.
CHECK F_INDX GT 0.
EXTRACT = TOTAL.
MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM.

Joy.

Table maintenance events

Hello,
Does anyone has a code example of table maintenance events?
I have a custom table ( zitab ) , with a maintenance view in SM30. I would like to use the table maintenance events for some authorisation check before the data is displayed, then, depending on the authorisation, display what the user is authorised to see. After data input, perform validation, if errors occur, inform the user what the problem is, if not, save in tha z table.
Can this be done in sm30 or I need to write a new program?
Thank you!

Can someone please explain me why I have this short dump (before save event)?
Error analysis
    The statement
      "MOVE src TO dst"
    requires the operands "dst" and "src" to be comvertible.
    Since this statement occurs in a Unicode program, the special
    convertibility rules for Unicode programs apply. In this case, the
    following rules have been broken:

    8   DATA: BEGIN OF s_ytable.
    9           INCLUDE STRUCTURE ytable.
   10           INCLUDE STRUCTURE vimtbflags.
   11   DATA: END OF s_ytable.
   12
   13   LOOP AT total.
   14     CLEAR s_ytable.
>>>>>     MOVE total TO s_table.
   16
   17   ENDLOOP.
   18
   19 endform.
In all examples that i read on this forum this code works, I don't know why it fails for me.
