As what i understood is that the table needed to be maintained by users. so just create a transaction for the table, follow these steps

1. Go to transaction SE93 ,

2. Give the name of ur tcode say zxxxx, for maintaining your ztable.

3. Click on create button,now a page opens.

4. Choose the radio button Transaction with parameters (PARAMETER TRANSACTION).

5. In the next screen enter transaction as : SM30

7. Also check all the three check boxes for the GUI support.

8. Scroll down you will find a table control for default values

Name of the screen field | value

___________________________________

VIEWNAME | your ztable name

UPDATE | X

Have you created the table maintenance? The error meant that the table maintenance has not been generated or maintained.

In order to maintain the table maintenance follow these steps

1) Go to SE11 and check table maintanance check box under attributes tab.

2) Go to menu Utilities -> Table Maintanance Generator ->

Create function group and assign it under function group input box. You can enter same as table name for function group. Also assign authorization group default &NC& .

3) Select standard recording routine radio in table table mainitainence generator to move table contents to quality and production by assigning it to request.

4) Select maintenance type as single step.

5) Maintainence screen as system generated numbers this dialog box appears when you click on create button.

6) Save and activate table.

The reason why you give SM30 as the tcode is because you maintain the table records using SM30 transaction and give the View name as the table name.

If you run the tcode SM30, you need to give the table name and then you can maintain entries, right? this is what you are stating while creating a tcode for a table

Hi Arora,

Its just

VIEWNAME | <your tablename>

 "let VIEWNAME remain as it is

Name of the screen field | value 
___________________________________

VIEWNAME | ztesttable  " Which is ur table name
UPDATE | X 

dont give your view name at the VIEWNAME.

It means you are mentionnig the View name as the table name VIEWNAME = <table view name>

Hi Arora,

It is easy task to perform by using table maintaince.

You get everything in table maintaince i mean deleting entries ,inserting entries ,modifying entries.

Only thing is validation against with standard table.

Check the below link for validation against on standard table,here you need to maintain events.

/people/sudheer.cheedella/blog/2006/02/20/extracting-data-in-table-maintenance

email id validation is important -

keep the validation like user@companyname.com

authrization part - once you created transaction code ,then basis or security guy will give the auth to users.

When you see your requirement ,no need to have module pool program.

I guess you got it.

Thanks
