unable to edit validated field in table maintance

[Former Member]

Hi all,

my requirement is to show an warning message on non key field if validation is not correct and edit on the same screen.

solution: I have created an event new-entry in table maintance and tried to validate that field field (email)

form new_entry.

if table-email na '@'.

message w001(incorrect email id)

endif.

enfdform.

- In this way it show the warning correctly but i am not able to edit that email field on the same screen.

do i need to validate in chain endchain. If yes how ??

Can anyone suggest the solution with demo code .

Thanks,

Aisha

Simple set sy-subrc some value after message statement and change message type as 'S' like below.

FORM new_entry.
  IF table-email NA '@'.
    MESSAGE s001(incorrect email id).  " Message type 'S' to stay in same screen
        sy-subrc = 1.  " Set some value other than zero to abort saving
  ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                    "new_entry

this isssue is resolved . we need to valididate the field in chain endchain with module modulename and write the logic inside that.

not in the event new-entry.

no....never never put logic in a table maintance screen....if you make changes in your table y regenerate the table maintenance you will loose all the validations....

always use events..

Sebastian is correct. Have a look at: [Custom Validation on Table Maintenance Generator (SM30)|http://musicodez.wordpress.com/2010/09/13/custom-validation-on-table-maintenance-generator-sm30/] to see how to handle this with events.
