Hello Madan

Create a maintenance <b>view</b> for your z-table. Then you can generate two screens without any problems.

I tried it and it worked whereas I got a short dump when I created a table maintenance.

i created a maintainence view... then i generated the table maintainence... when i tried to maintain it in SM30, i went to dump...

msg :

In program "SAPLZ_V_BIOCATALOG ", the following syntax error occurred

in the Include "LZ_V_BIOCATALOGT00 " in line 38:

""ZVLAYOUT_MASTER" must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal ta"

"bles, strings, references, or structures as components ."

" "

this is the error...

Hello Madan

My test table contained three fields:

- MANDT, BUKRS, and TEXT255

Apparently there are fields in structure ZVLAYOUT_MASTER that are not compatible with a maintenance view.

Hi,

Please go to the table maintenace screen ":

1) Go to System---> Status and identify the program name and screen number.

2)Go to SE51 witht the program name and screen number identified.

3) Go to the field with field length 225. Give the visible field length as 30 or the value you require. It will make sure that the visible length of the field will be reduced to the length supplied by you.

Thanks,

Rajesh
