Table maintenance - parameter transaction

Former Member — Tue, 04 Jul 2006 09:02:56 GMT

Hi friends,

I am maintaining a z-table through parameter transaction. When I execute the transaction, I didn't get the headings for the fields which are Built in types. So, I changed them to Data element and have given the heading in Field label. Even then it is not getting displayed. Instead it is showing a '+' mark. Also, I've added three new fields to the table. These fields are not at all getting displayed. But, they are there in the Fields for selection of the transaction. Can anyone plz help me with this issue..?

Thanks & Regards,

Sharmila

Hai

Check the following Document

1. specially function group.. what is its significance

When we generate table maintenance,

the system , based upon the table fields,

automatically,

generates

PROGRAM CODE, SCREEN FOR ENTERING DATA,

LOGIC FOR SAVING DATA, LOGIC FOR DISPLAYING DATA

ETC.

2. All this are BUNCHED under

a FUNCTION GROUP

(if you open that function group in se80, after

creatting table maintenacne,

u will see the program code, screens, gui status etc)

3. Hence, to BUNCH all these various objects,

SAP uses the concept of function group.

*----

4. And also why do we need to give two screens there

Its not necessary to have to screens.

5. ONE SCREEN MEANS:

only one screen with table control to enter data

TWO SCREEN means :

first screen : only primary key fields will appear

second screen : rest of the fields will appear to enter data

6. When the table consists of many fields,

its practically more convenient to have two screens,

so that all fields come vertically downwards.

(instead of scrolling horizontally in the table

control, in case of one screen concept)

The use of the FG is only this the Table Maintainance Generator part. Neednt be declared anywhere else.

yes u need to create a FG and the use it in Table maint. gen.

1. Headings for columns are not coming becuase the descriptions for the data elements that you are using as a part of the table are not maintained. Maintain the descriptions for the data elements and they will show up in SM30.

2. For the new columns to show up, regenerated the table maintenance and the new ones will show up.

Hi,

Easier way is to regenerate the table maintenance.

In SE11 take the table and go in Change mode.

Then go to Utilities->Table Maintenance Generator.

In the next screen press the Change button. In the resulting screen check the boxes which are relevant and press enter.

Cheers

Vinod
