Unable to edit table in debug mode.

Former Member — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 01:36:56 GMT

I am unable to edit table (having display/maintenance not allowed) entries while debugging in Se16 or in SE16N. Is any way to do so as i already tried the suggested steps of changing the code to edit but while debugging its not going to sap report.

As the table have display/maintenance not allowed i cannot se the entries as well.

You can't do anything with such a table in SE16. That's the whole point. if you need to edit it, then you'll have to write some kind of program to do that.

There is a way to do it and as Matthew Billingham said it is not recommended. Go to debugger mode before transaction se16n, enter the table name and execute command '/h'. Then click on enter. This will take you to debugger. There should be a structure with 'GD'. Edit the fields. 'SAPEDIT' and 'EDIT' to 'X'. Continue execution and hopefully it will open the editable table list for you.

If that's not possible then go to SE11 get table row where you want to edit by giving the key values. Click on display row. Go to debugger mode using '/H' and Enter press. Change the code variable to 'EDIT'. It will take you to edit screen.

And I repeat again do not use this to edit any tables unless it is essential and even if you make the change revert it. Best use it only for testing purpose in developer system. Because editing by this method might cause inconsistencies.

He knows how to edit a table from SE16 using debugger. His problem is that the table is marked in tab Delivery and Maintenance as Display/Maintenance not allowed.

The means in SE16, he enters the name of the table, and that raises error message MO408.

You cannot display <table_name> with the standard tools

In SE11, the contents button for such tables are greyed out and disabled.

Hello Ankit,

You can ask to your basis team, may be you assigned with the roles which is having only the value for Debug Display!

Thanks,

Won't help. See my comment to Sooraj D's answer.

Hi,

You should be able to fix this with a transport. Or if this table needs te be editable once in a while change the delivery/maintenance of it.

Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
