Hi Mainak ,

Use can use the command

Update <Table_Name>
 Set <field_name> <value>
 where <condition>.

This will update the field in your table with the set value.

HI,

IF this updation is not going to affect any other data in other tables, then go ahead and write your own program with UPDATE stmt to update the field in this table.

This is the simplest way.

Hi Mainak,

Go ahead you can write query to update the table field in SAP.

The thing is ..it is a hectic task to find out a function module through which you can update the particular field.

And the other thing is every field in a SAP table has a specific meaning and sometimes interdependencies attached to other fields.

Try your update code and check whether it helps ur concerns.

Thanks

Hi Mainak ,

SAP does not prevent you from updating a table directly , but it does not recommend it , the reason being that it may result in inconsistency in some cases , because based on this value some other fields must already been populated , now if you change it inconsistency may occure.

but in some cases you have no other alternative but this
