Problem while creating table maintenance generator using two step

I355602 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 09:34:13 GMT

Hello All,

I have created a Z table in which I have 7 fields, out of which 6 are character fields and 7th field is of type INT4

Now when I create the maintenance generator using TWO STEP approach, the 7th field i.e., of type INT4 is not available in the first screen (the table control screen). This screen only has 6 fields for display.

But when I click NEW ENTRIES button, I get the next screen which has all the 7 fields.

But if I create the maintenance generator using SINGLE STEP, all 7 fields are displayed in the first screen.

Please suggest. Let me know if you require some more explaination.

Thanks & Regards,

Tarun

Thanks for your reply.

But I can't find anything useful as mentioned in previous reply. There is nothing hidden in the screen.

Although I can a new column in the table control on the screen. But I don't want to proceed that way.

Still waiting for useful pointers...

"With two-step dialogs, only the key fields and text fields with a length

of more than 20 characters are displayed in the overview screen. All fields

are offered in the detailed screen."

Hi,

I have text fields with length of <20 characters, but still I can see them in my overview screen.

My problem is when the field is INT4, then it is not displayed, but if I change it to CHAR (no matter what size) it is displayed on overview screen.

Hope you got exact problem.

For two step dialog, key fields and text/char fields are displayed in overview screen and all fields in detailed screen. You can check the same by making the INT4 field as key field and it should be displayed on overview screen.

Hope it helps.

Hi Tarun,

Go to the layout and increase the size of the Screen. or at the screen attributes change the length and width values.

You know that initially the screen occupies default size only.

Hope this would serve your purpose.

Thanks for the reply...

I can't see any field that is either hidden or set to a default size in the screen layout.

All I can see is the fields with datatype as CHARACTER.

Still looking for useful pointers...

Before you generate screen, just tick 7th field as a key.

Also use data type CHAR4 for temporary.

Then generate screen.

Once screen is generated, back to your table and change data type back to INT4.

Don't forget to tick out key field of 7th field as well.

Note: We can not control automated SAP procedure by 100%.

Use a trick instead

Thanks for the tricky approach.

Even I can use screen painter to add a new field in the overview screen for the INT4 field.

But I want to keep it as the last option.

Please if some one has faced this same issue, suggest why this is so?

Solved..!!

Created the maintenance generator with the datatype as CHAR for field.

After that changed the datatype as INT4 for the same field and no generator created.
