Hi Kiran,

Please follow the steps to put validations in the Table maintenance screen program:

1->go to se11,<b> display</b> your table

2->navigate to <b>Utilities->Table Maintenance Generator</b>

3->double click on the <b>maintenance screen number (overview screen)</b>

4->Now you are in the flow logic .

5->define a module inside the LOOP AT EXTRACT...ENDLOOP in the

PAI (Process after input event).

6->double click the newly defined module and navigate to the abap editor;

write the validation logic in your module.

Hope this helps,

There is an elegant method using events, you can use pre-defined events (SE11 -> table maintenance generator -> environment -> modification -> events). You can put your validation code in the events.

For more information on events, refer this nice document
