Hi Santo,

I believe what you are referring to is a "Maintenance View".

When you create a table and need to update data manually, i.e. not through any program or transaction, then you create a table maintenance view for the database table, and you can maintain (insert/edit/delete) entries from transaction SM30.

A table maintenance view can be created from SE11 ... in change mode of the table, goto Utilities->Table Maintenance Generator.

Follow the subsequent steps. You would need a function group and assign a screen number for the table maintenance view. A function group pool (main program) would hold the generated code of the maintenance view, and hence it is required.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Aditya

Hi,

To generate the maintenance modules for a table or view, proceed as follows:

Choose Tools ® ABAP/4 Workbench ® Development ® Other tools ® Gen.tab. maint.dialog. You arrive in the maintenance transaction initial screen.

Enter the name of the table or view.

Alternatively to steps 1 and 2, you can call the function Utilities ® Gener. maint.dialog for the table or view in question in the Dictionary ( Tools ® ABAP/4 Workbench ® Development ® Dictionary). You arrive directly in the maintenance screen for the current table’s generated objects.

Choose the option "Generated objects".

Choose Create/Change.

Confirm that the maintenance modules are to be created in the next dialog window.

Enter the data required for the generation:

– Function group to which the maintenance modules are to belong

One function group can contain maintenance modules for several tables or views.

– Authorization group

– Maintenance type (one or two-step)

– Maintenance screen(s) (one or two-step maintenance type, resp.) numbers

– Recording routine (Standard/individual or none)

Choose Create. All required maintenance modules are now generated.

If you want to make changes later, you must call the function Change, to regenerate the maintenance modules in question.

Then you can process the table with the extended table maintenance.
