Function Group is ambiguous error - Table Maintenance Generator

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I am trying to create a TMG for the maintenance view /GICOM/VM_BO_AFE.

I provided the following details for creating TMG:

• Authorization Group: &NC&
• Function Group name: /GICOM/01BASIS02
• Maintenance Type: One Step
• Maint. Screen No. Overview screen: 2
• Recording Routine: no, or user, recording routine

And clicked on button to create TMG.

Then, it displayed the following errors:

On the other hand, I can see that the screen 2 (overview screen) is generated in the Function Group and Function Module VIEWPROC_/GICOM/VM_BO_AFE is also generated in it.
But VIEWFRAME function module is not generated for this.

And when I try to Maintain the view in SM30 transaction, it was showing the following error

I didn't find the exact reason for these errors. Can someone help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks & Regards,
Vasu Attaluri

In the function group is there more than just the table maintenance you have used? It is possible that when the system is creating the data it needs for the table maintenance that it is running into an issue with adding a field that is already there.

Hi Michelle,

Yes.
Already there is a TMG in the Function Group, and that was created for a different view. Both the views do not share any similar/common fields.

How about running a syntax check on that function group?

I did that, but I didn't find any syntax errors in the Function Group.

[mmcisme1]

OK - that's enough to drive me crazy. Did you try activating the function group?

[mmcisme1]

Also - did you use 1 and 2 a second time? Different screens are needed. I'm guessing you didn't but it doesn't hurt to check.

Just read Raymond's answer. Did you follow all the steps in the long text of the message? Click on the question or transaction SE91 - SV 652 - then click long text.

Hi,
Yes, I tried activating the FG. It successfully activated. 🙂

I didn't used the same screen number multiple times.

Great news!!! Very strange error.

[mmcisme1]

I didn't think you did 🙂 But I had to ask.

Hi Michelle,

Finally, Raymond's answer helped me to resolve the issue.
Thank you so much for your support.

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm glad he did. This one was a hard one with a very strange error. I love SAP, it keeps my job so very interesting. (And makes me want to pull my hair out some days) Celebrate your win!

Hi Raymond,

I deleted the TMG and tried to create it again, but it was displaying same errors whenever I try to create a TMG.
The following correction steps suggested:

But I didn't find the Function Group OM/S.

[raymond_giuseppi]

Delete your TMG, then with SE80 look for inactive objects and activate those before start recreate the TMG.Perform some checks

• With SE80/SE38, look for a program like SAPL*OM*S* or includes like LOM*S* or suchg 'remnants' in tadir table.
• With SE16n, Look also for the table/view in tables like TVDIR or OBJH.
• with SE80/SE37 look for FM like VIEW[FRAME,PROC]_/GICOM/VM_BO_AFE.

Hi Raymond,

1. I didn't find any input help for Function Group by searching with SAPL*OM*S*.
2. And I found the following programs for LOM*S*:
   LOM_ARRAYCLS

   LOM_GEN_OVERVIEWCLS
   LOM_NAVFRAMEWORK_OO_OBJCLS
   LOM_NAVIGATIONFRAMEWORKCLS
   LOM_OBJECTMANAGERCLS
   LOM_PEOPLELISTCLS

   But none of the above programs resolved my issue.

3. Then at last, I looked for FM VIEWFRAME_/GICOM/VM_BO_AFE and I found it. Deleted this one and tried to create TMG again.
   And this time, the TMG created successfully without any errors.

   

   
   

Thank you so much Raymond. You made my day.

TMG = Table Maintenance Generator

So instead of saying "I am trying to create a TMG", you should say "I am trying to create a TM Dialog". Unless you're really trying to create at new TMG... 😉
