Table Maintenance Generator

Former Member — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 16:49:53 GMT

Hi Folks!

I've created a table maintenance. However when I'm accesing the TCODE SM30 to modify the table contents I'm getting 2 columns without their description. The particularity of these 2 columns are that they aren't from the abap dictionary they are a direct type, although they have their description in the sm30 it doesn't get showed, only a '+' get showed as the column header, can anyone can help me with this. I'm pretty new to this matter.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind Regards,

Gilberto Li

Hi,

Always u have to remember that if a table as table manintanence, whenever a new field is added to that table or any changes made to that table, then the table maintanence generator should be changed. Ie. Go to table main. gen screen press the change button check all the checkboxes and press enter--> In the next pop-up select the overview check box and press enter.

Regards,

Prakash.

Hi,

You can directly modify the column text using the screen painter SE51.

Refer to a data element for that particular field and populate the headings accordingly..

And then re-generate the screens.

THanks,

I believe the best thing is to assign data elements to those fields if you need to see a description:

remember if you change the screen generated for SM30 you can lose your modification every time you need to update the Table Maintenance
