Hi Nirmala,

Hope this will posible with the table events, where we need to write the peace of code to default the field. As of my knolodge there is no other process to default the field in the table maintenence.

You want to set default during table maintenance either thru SE16 or SM30? or you want it done during table entry update in program?

Please try it this way:

1. Goto SE54

2. Use menupath: Environment-> Events

3. Click <b>New Entries</b> from application toolbar.

4. Select 05 entry, while creating a new entry.

5. Define a routine and code to make the default value.

Hope this helps.

Kind Regards
