Maintenance Views

Former Member — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:41:16 GMT

I'm currently calling the maintenance view for a table with the followning code:

CALL FUNCTION 'VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL'
    EXPORTING
      action    = p_action
      view_name = p_tabname
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS    = 1.

However I would like to disable the user from creating new entries, allowing them only to modify existing records. Is there any standard functionality to acheive this or will it require a bespoke solution?

With the parameter ACTION, you specify the processing action to be performed. Possible actions are:

S = Display

U = Change

T = Transport

However even from SM30 Maintain allows you to Create new entries and the same is true theough this FM also.

You may have to have a little workaround to tackle this probably.

Chris,

Use a select statement for your table to check the existance of a particular record and call function module only if a records exists in system .

Thanks ,

Hello Chris,

One of the tables passed to you FM is EXCL_CUA_FUNCT.

You can pass the value DELE and NEWL to prevent the addition of new lines and the deletion

of existing ones.

Hope that helps a bit.
