Hi,

I have created a custom table and there is a field with numc 4. I changed that field to decimal with 2 decimal points. using SE14 i'm going to adjust the table but error occured and stop with error log. then I re enter SE14 and then "unlock table" button clicked and activated my table. After that my table can add duplicate entries to key fields. How to disable adding duplicate entries to key fields of my table??

How could it be possible that the database let you add 2 records with same primary key? I can't imagine it could just be a bug! Please give more information about what happens exactly.

You should get the key fields and compare them via the debugger (compare tool).

Moreover, make sure the primary index (named ~0) is still there in the database (SE14, index), and create it if it's not there.
