Foreign Keys

[Former Member]

Hi all,

A standard message is output if the value check by the foreign key on the screen field results in an invalid input. You can replace this standard message with any message. To do this, you must enter the message class of the message in the field AArea and the message number in the field MsgNo.

I created a messgae class in se91 and I have supplied the values 000 and ZMV to the specified fields. But I did not get the expected output. Can anyone please help me out with this.

Varun,

This is a bit difficult question to answer with out looking at the code.

Had you modified the code in PAI event?? We need to debug in order to figure out why you message statement is not getting executed. Paste your code if possible.

Hi Naren,

I did not write any code for this. I said I am creating a ztable. IN the fields I placed my cursor and I clicked the key icon next to search help.In the pop up screen There I have specified the check table and entered the values for Msgno and AArea as 000 and zvm.

This is the output I got.

Varun,

Message number

Message number of the error message to be output.

Use

If an attempt is made to enter a value in a foreign key field of the dependent table which is not in the check table, a standard message is output. This standard message can be replaced by any message from table T100.

Procedure

To replace the standard message, you must enter the message class of the message to be output in field 'AGeb' and its message number in field 'MsgNr'.

Hi,

The problem is solved. But what is the reason ? Why 000 did not work and why 001 worked ??

i think ..somewhere in sap code they might be checking "is initial" for the message number...and 000 is initial....

thanks,
