Pre Database Insert / Update Validation

[former_member998274]

Hi,

I have a maintenance view that allow user to insert / update.

Let's say, z_my_table is my table

key1

key2

field1

field2

field3

I want to validate whether field1, field2, field3 whether exist in my table before insert / update.

However, due to some restriction, I cannot make it as part of the key.

My question is, how can I capture OR validate it before the data get inserted into the table ?

I checked some online help, and found that suggestion is to write a function module OR enhancement point.

Just wonder what is the common practice and how should I do it ? Thanks.

I don't agree with the design but if you want to do it anyway it can be done using Events in the Maintenance View.

After you've generated the Maintenance View of your Z table, within SE11 pull out menubar Utilities->Table Maintenance Generator, then menubar Environment->Modifcation->Events. Create New Entries and I think for your requirement you would need 2 entries - one at event 05 and another at event 18. Input the name of your routine and write the code by clicking its corresponding button.

The following is an example of a scenario where text of an object is retrieved and filled into the view display-only column according to user input of its related object id - for your requirement you would validate the user input after checking the input values in your existing table:

form fill_text_05.

  data begin of w_total.
          include structure zfv_fbt_acct_rel.
  data: action,
        mark,
  end of w_total.
  data: w_extract type zfv_fbt_acct_rel.

  clear: zfv_fbt_acct_rel-fbt_rel_acc_txt,
         zfv_fbt_acct_rel-fbt_cost_grp_txt.

* populate GL a/c text
  select txt50 up to 1 rows
         from skat
         into zfv_fbt_acct_rel-fbt_rel_acc_txt
         where spras = sy-langu
         and   saknr = zfv_fbt_acct_rel-fbt_rel_acc.
  endselect.

* populate Cost Group text
  select single fbt_cost_grp_txt
         from  zft_fbt_cost_grp
         into  zfv_fbt_acct_rel-fbt_cost_grp_txt
         where company_code = zfv_fbt_acct_rel-company_code
         and   fbt_cost_grp = zfv_fbt_acct_rel-fbt_cost_grp.

  if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message e074(zf_enhancements) with zfv_fbt_acct_rel-company_code.
  endif.

endform.                    "fill_text_05

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Sougata.

Thanks ... I will try it out and let you know.

My initial thought is, if i do it in enhancement point, my code will be gone once I generated the objects.

[former_member998274]

I got an information like :

Do Not Make Any Changes ( SAP data )

I press Ok and presented a screen like ALV with 3 columns.

FORM routines to be called from view maintenance

T , FORM routine, Editor.

When I press the drop down for T, I saw what you mean by 05. It is an event for - Creating New Entry.

I pressed the Editor and presented a list of options for INCLUDE to create the SUBROUTINE.

Do I need that ?
