HI,

Hi,

Table maintainence is used to maintain the custom tables.

Using table maintenence you can insert, modify, delete and perform all other tasks related to tables.

You can create the table maintenence using se11--> zXXX(table name) >utilities> table maintenence generatot. and create your table maintenece for your custom table.

If you want to validate the fields of the table[for eg., employee no. should start with 'E'],you can write your own validations in the program if you generated table maintenance.

Please check the following links

Have a look at SAP help on generating a table maintenance dialog.

u can go to se54 and do the same.

with this we are generating a maintanance dialog (screen)

which is an interface to mainatain (update) tables using sm30.

single step:Only one maintenance screen is processed during extended table maintenance. The entries are displayed in list form on this screen.

two step:Two maintenance screens are processed during the extended table maintenance:

On the Overview screen the entries are displayed in list form.

On the Single screen one entry is displayed. The single screen can be called from the overview screen, by function key, for every entry.

Reward points if this Helps.
