What is the need of Costum T-code ZSE16N.?

[Former Member]

Hi,

What is the purpose of costum t-code of table view(ZSE16N)..? SE16N itself is a display t-code and the table restrications are done through S_TABU_DIS and S_TABU_NAM configeration..

[Former Member]

It is useful to "duck under the radar" - same program, different tcode...

100% correct -> you should rely on S_TABU* for those programs which use it, not S_TCODE.

I have seen in one of the client, they are using custom t-code ZSE16N to restrict the critical table..

Which option is better for the table restriction..?S_TABU* or ABAP custon t-codes..?

[Former Member]

The better option is one which is consistent with the authorization concept, auditable and lower in cost of maintenance -> standard SE16N with S_TABU* authorization control and SM30 views in the case of changes being allowed.
