1) what is the use of TABLE maintenance generator?

Table Maintenance is used to maintain the values of a custom table. Based on the requirements, one can change or add/delete the contents of the custom table.

Table Maintenance generator is required to do Manual entries in the Table. If the requirement is to update the table only programmatically and not manually then table maintenance generator is not required. Manual entries in table can be maintained (New record can be inserted / existing can be modified) using transaction SM 30, if the table maintenance for the table is generated.

2) why help view is needed?

3) What is the difference b/w help and maintenance views?

- Help View ( SE54)

Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called.

When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view.

- Maintenance View ( SE54 )

Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system.

Please have a look at below link. It will help you.

4) After creating maintenance view why we need to maintain the table using sm30.

We use SM30 transaction for entering values into any DB table.

First we create a table in SE11 and create the table maintenance generator for that Table using (utilities-> table maintenance generator) and create it.

Then it will create a View.

After that from SM30, enter the table name and Maintain, create new entries, change the existing entries for that table.

Amazing how you can read the mind of "mohan"

Very nice answer for a totally crap question.

And you are able to repeat it !<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/j/jawdrop.gif" alt="Jaw Drop 4" />

like:

/message/4081679#4081679 [original link is broken]

and I do not want to continue looking, I think that 4 from 4 checks is enough.

This forums are suposed to exist to help people.

I think the point are useless, and should not be the primary focus of the people here.

What you do has no name, ( I'd prefer to say some other things, but that would go down to your level and I do not think it is worth )

I wonder where are the moderators, I do not see any button to report this kind of behaviour.

Hi,

thanks for the info.

I've seen some thinks simlar to this but not sooooo obvious.

I didn't know how to report.

Now I know.

If they want a t-shirt ( I think that is the first thing you can get ) they can make one themselves, and probably is cheaper/easier
