Function Group is where your list of maintainance programs are to be stored/ grouped under. You can give give a new function goup name there.

Authorization objects : are for restricting users from maintaining the tables. Allowing only specific users.

One-step dialogs only have an overview screen containing all fields. In two-step dialogs, the overview screen contains only the key fields and text fields longer than 20 characters. The detail screen contains all fields.

Jak,

Function Group - Give a new one, it will create.

Aut Group - Depends on whom you want to access this table via SM30.

Screens - Depending on that it will either create 1 / 2 step process to create data . Its just a matter user friendliness.

Hi Jak,

Function Group (Name of the function group, to which the generated maintenance modules will belong.)

Table maintenance dialog maintenance type

Table/view maintenance type key.

Use

In one-step maintenance only one maintenance screen (overview screen) is processed at run time. Entries are displayed here in the form of lists. An entry should be able to be displayed in one line of the screen.

In two-step maintenance an additional maintenance screen (single screen) is processed at run time, as well as the overview screen. A single entry is displayed on the single screen. The single screen can be called from the overview screen by function key, for every entry.

maintenance screen umbers.

Table content recording routine

Indicator which recording routine should be used for changes to table contents.

Dependencies

Changes to a task can be recorded. This can be done either automatically or manually, depending on the client settings.

A standard routine or an individual routine can be used as the recording routine. It is also possible to enhance the standard routine with individual routines.

The individual routines must be defined as events. The definition is made via the menu function Environment -> Events and concerns the events 10, 11 and 12.

The recording depends upon the client setting. The following settings are possible:

1. Changes without automatic recording

Changes are not automatically recorded. It is, however, possible to make manual recordings.

2. Automatic recoding of changes

All changes are automatically recorded.

3. No changes allowed

Changes can not be made, it is, however, possible to record table contents manually for the transport.

4. No transport allowed

Changes can be made here, but they can be neither automatically nor manually recorded for the transport.

hi,

We use table maintainance generator to create new entries through SM30. We can as well do some validations by clicking on Source Code button after generating Table maintainance.

Just create a new function group and give it in table maintaince generator. You can create it in SM37->Go To-> Function group -> Create Function group.

From F4 help list, select authorization group with description that says similar to "Without authorization".

Hope this helps you a bit.

Sailaja.

Jak,

These are the descriptions for the field.

When you have this data element on a report, depending on the space avaialable, it will automatically choose one of these descriptions.

You can give what it should read as.

hi jak,

length--Length of the short keyword (number of chars.) which can be assigned to a data element as field name.

short-- A maximum of 10 characters is permitted.

for MEDIUM-- 20 CHARACTERS

LONG--40 CHARACTERS

HEADING--55 CHARACTERS

FIELD LABEL:

One of the following:

- Short field label

- Medium field label

- Long field label

Can be assigned as prefixed text to a screen field referring to the ABAP Dictonary. The text is displayed on the screen in the logon language of the user (if the text was translated into this language).

A heading can be defined to output the field values in lists. This heading is automatically included in the list header row, in the logon language.

The short medium and long headings are those texts that are displayed when this data element or any field referring this data elemene is used in a screen where there is not enought place to display the field label.

If you are using this field to be displayed in a report with column heading size very short, then the coulmn heading will be the text you give in Short.

If you resize the column in the report, then the column heading will change to either medium text or long text.

Ravi

Hi Jak,

Short , medium , long and heading are the headings which are displayed for that particular field.

say for example if the description of the field is Material No

short     Mat no
Medium    Material Num
Long      Material Number
Heading   Material Number

if that particular field is displayed on a screen , then in that attributes u can display the text accordingly
