Text Tables

[former_member209703]

I've got a doubt with text tables.

This is it

If i have a table with its text-table and i need to insert one record on it, do i have to write two insert sentences, one for the main table and another for the text-table???

Is there another way to do this?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, you have to create an entry in both the table if you are creating an entry programatically.

The other option you have is to create a "Maintainance View" for Table and Text table using SE11. Then you can miantain both table field and the field descirption. The underlying table and text table will be automatically updated.

Check out this link for more information on View.

If you want to see how SAP maintains table and text table using "maintainance view", Check out transaction <b>WE81</b>. This is to maintain "IDOC Message typ". The underlying 'maintainance view" for this is <b>VEDI_EDMSG</b>. This is maintainance view of tables EDMSG ( table for - Logical message types ) and EDIMSGT ( table for -Short description of SAP message types )

Let me know if you need any other information.
