SE16 restricted to a pre-defined max number of hits

Hello,

our consultants use sometime Tcode SE16 for end-users support purposes.

I would like to restrict the output of SE16 on any tables to a predefined maximum number of hits (5000 or 10000 for examples) to avoid huge selections with bad performance on the server.

Do you know any way to restrict it with a standard or custom tool ?

Thank's

Hello Vincent

The global setting of this property can be found at: menu Help -> Settings -> choose tabstrip "F4 Help"

There you can define the max. number of hits to be displayed. This setting is valid for all DB selections. The users have to set this property on their own.

NOTE: The menu Help is found on any screen.

Regards

Uwe

Thank You Uwe,

but my question was how to set this value for all users, and, the most important, how to avoid users to change this parameter ?

Thanks,

Hello,

FYI information, I have done a copy of SE16N to customer specific transaction ZSE16N and limited the amount of data at 5000 rows.

It's very easy to do.
