Data Dictionary auto-entry

Former Member — Wed, 20 Jul 2005 16:39:01 GMT

I've created a database table and table maintenance screen with SE11. The table contains User, Date and Time fields.

I'd like these fields to be automatically filled when transaction SM30 is used to create table entries.

Has anyone in the forum done this?

Can anyone direct me to the SAP documentation on this?

I would assume you can achieve this by hacking the generated table maintenance program.

It could be as easy as updating the EXTRACT internal table found in the flow logic of the screen.

Thanks, Rich.

I thought that might be the only way.

I was hoping it could be done without 'registering' the object.

Thanks for your reply.

Ed - you don't have to go into the code. On the table maintenance screen:

Environment->Modification->Events

I've used '1 - Before saving the data in the database'

To do exactly what you are doing.

I should have added that if you press the "I" button at that point, you'll see what documentation SAP has.
