problem with table maintenance and screen

[Former Member]

Hi,

I modified the screen for a maintenance view table and added new fields. I went to SE11 to add the new fields in the table and then to SE51 to change the layout. My problem is when I edit the new field that I added, a message(Data was saved) at the bottom of the screen will appear but the value that I put in the field is gone. When i checked the contents of the table, the values were not also updated. Please let me know if there are other things that I forgot to activate or change.

Thanks in advance,

HI Eric,

If you add new fields to an existing table, you need to re generate the table maintenance. Did you re genrate the table after you have added the field?

Hi

Its the other way.

First you modify the table to add new fields. Goto sm30, delete the already generated maintenance screens and then regenerate them.

I see.. After I changed the screen and add the table fields, I just click on the activate button on se11. So you guys mean that I should regenerate by deleting first the first maintenance table then regenerate it again?
