Hello Kaki

The field is 255 char long, yet the table maintenance shortens the visible length to about 40 chars.

If you want to see the full length or at least a larger part of the field you have to modify the display dynpro.

When you are in the table maintenance generator, call menu "Environment" -> "Modifications" -> "Maintenance screens".

There you can modify the table control that has been generated automatically.

HI,

Modify the table maintenance to have two screens.

So when you select 'New Entries' it will display the second screen to accept the values.

You can modify the second screen's display by modifying the screen layout.

Hi,

In table maintenance generator, For maintenance type, select the two step . When you ask teh system to propose screen numbers, it does for both. Save and activate teh table.

As it is two step maintenance type now, we get the list of records displayedin table format int the first screen. If you want to create new entries, click on NEW ENTRIES buttons on application toolbar. If you want to view the existing records, just double click on the record.
