customizing table

Former Member — Wed, 24 May 2006 04:06:55 GMT

we have a customizing table where we have 5 key fields.

eg. f1,f2,f3,f4,f5.

there are 5 allowed combinations of the key fields to read entries of the table in my report. for eg.

(f1,f2,f3)

(f1,f2,{f3 filled with space}),

(f1,f4),

(f1,f5),

(f1,f2,f3,f4,f5)

when the user makes entries in the table using SM30, can i restrict him to enter only one of the allowed combinations.

please give ur ideas.

thanks for the response.

but i feel this restriction is regarding entering allowed values. not valid combinations.

my requirement is if someother combination is entered may be an error message is to be issued so he can know this is not a valid combination.

can u please tell me if this is possible.

What you can do is to activate the events of the Table maintenance and write the code there. However, I don't think its going to be simple.

It might be easy to quickly write a custom program to do all this.

Hi,

If this is your own Y or Z table then you can get into the program generated by the Table Maintenance generator and then put your checks in the PAI event.

Sunitha,

Yes when generate the table maintenance, there is a function group that gets created. You activate the events where you can write the code to validate the values / populate the default values etc.

In fact you will have to mention the name of the function group.

Hi,

As Ravi has mentioned, you can do all validations in a table using the events in Table maintenance.

Please refer the below link for a tech article on implementing this:
