SM30 - position button

Former Member — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:19:34 GMT

Hello,

I have a custom table with 2 key fields and in SM30 when I go with the position button, I get a popup with these two key fields. Now I would like to make these two key fields in my table non-key fields and I think by doing this I would not get any popup when I go with the position button in SM30. Is it possible to still get a popup with desired fields when I go with position button even when my custom table has no key fields? Please let me know. Thanks.

ABAP dictionary requires that there is a primary key on every transparent table. So, when you create a table using SE11, it should have a primary key.

As for changing the behavior of position button in SM30, it is not recommended. The problem is that when someone regenerates table maintenance screens, you will lose all the changes.

yes, as Sudhi said, its correct.

So, still, (knowing the danger of loosing ur custom code in the process of re-generation of TMG by some one else) if u want to hv ur functionalty, pls. check the TABLE EVENTS, like AE, it may b guide u some extnet......sorry, i dont know exact answer. Last week some one asked like the same(not exactly) question,so, pl search with key words of POSITION, SM30

thanq
