Se16 is used to create entries and display table conents

SE11 = ABAP dictionary

To see the structures and the types of the fields

SE16 = Data browser

You can only see the content of the tables

Hi alex,

SE11 shows the definition of a table.

se16 (also se16n, i prefer) shows the content.

in SE11, you can create,change,display any DDIC elements.

like Table,view,dataelement,domain etc..

but in SE16 you can see the entries of a table.

SE11 is used to create Dictionary objects like tables, views,domain, data element, search help, lock object, match code objects and table pools.

While SE16 is used maintaining data stored in tables .

Hi Alex,

I think you got most of the differences from the earlier threads.I also want to share one more difference.In SE16 transaction you have option to display the table contents in three formats

1.SE16 Standard List

2.ALV List

3.Alv Grid Display.

Hi,

SE11 -- DATABASE REPORISOTORY, this transaction is used for maintainence of several dictionary objects like tables, structures, views, domains, dataelements, search helps and lock objects.

SE16 -- DATABASE BROWSER, this transaction is mainly used to identify, browse value corresponding to ur selection from a table.

Hope this should help you, if so reward points.

Regards

SE11 is basically used to data dictionary objects.

here u create the data elements, structures, domains, database tables, lock objects, views, etc.

the data dictionary objects like tables and views can be created using different other data dictionary objects. but if we need to maintain the data in the table we have created, we can do that thru SE16.

in this t-code, we can create, modify, delete the entries of a database table.

but this works on specific condition.

in the data base table, we have the delivery/maintenance tabstrip. in that we have 3 options of maintenance:

1. maintenance allowed

2. maintenance not allowed

3. maintenance allowed with restrictions

out of the above 3, se16 is helpful only for the first option. and if we select the second one, the data can be maintained, but not thru se16. we need to go for table maintenance generator.

thanks
