calling a program when a table is updated

[prabhu_s2]

hi all

i need to run a program whenever <b>a table</b> is updated. Say it might be a customized table or a std table. anymean we can achieve this? if yes, let me know more in detail.

i though of having the report program specific to the table which will run for every 5 mins and check if the table is updated. but internaly this might be bit complicated i believe. anyother suggestion?

Hi Prabhu,

If you are updating the table through any transaction then you can create a workflow with triggered events or check if Table CDHDR or CDPOS is updated to find the tables that were changed and trigger your program accordingly.

Thanks,

Hi,

The below code demonstrates how to create a simple report which automatically updates itself every 10

seconds and displays the new results on screen. This is without any intervention from the user.

• Automatic refresh report

Hi Prabhu,

I hope it will work since customized tabele will also be update through any transaction so you can check it out by manually entering values in it.
