Modifying a Z table and 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLE'

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am updating/modifying/deleting the records from a Z table. I am thinking to use the standard FMs 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLE' and 'DEQUEUE_E_TABLE' while am working with it.

Or do i need to create a lock object and use that lock object, while am working with this Z table in my prog.?

When i have to use 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLE' and 'DEQUEUE_E_TABLE' FMs and when i have to use a lock object?

Thank you

Hello,

You do not to create lock object. You can lock the table with 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLE' and unlock with 'DEQUEUE_E_TABLE'.

CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLE'

EXPORTING

MODE_RSTABLE = W_MODE

TABNAME = W_TABLE

VARKEY = W_VARKEY

_SCOPE = '3'

EXCEPTIONS

FOREIGN_LOCK = 1

SYSTEM_FAILURE = 2.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes, there is no need to go for Lock object. Just check this code:

call function 'ENQUEUE_E_TABLE'
        EXPORTING
          mode_rstable   = 'E'
          tabname        = 'ZTABLE'
        EXCEPTIONS
          foreign_lock   = 1
          system_failure = 2
          others         = 3.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
        modify ZTABLE from table itab.
        if sy-subrc = 0.
          commit work.
        endif.
        call function 'DEQUEUE_E_TABLE'
          EXPORTING
            mode_rstable = 'E'
            tabname      = 'ZTABLE'.
      endif.
