How to maintain a new field from Table.Maint.Gen?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your response!

I have created a DATE field(ZDATE) in the DB table with dataelement as SYDATUM.

My requirement is when a new entry comes into this DB table or any record is changed (for a change in few fields not all infact but for time being let us take for all fields), this DATE field should be populated with SY-DATUM.

I have created a Maint.View(ZCOST_DATE) and have written the following code in TMG-->Events.

FORM CREATE_ENTRY.

zcost_date-zdate = SY-DATUM.

ENDFORM.

Still the date field is not getting populated.This is giving me blank in the date field.

I have taken only the DB table(COST) in the 'Table join' tabstrip because I have already the DATE field.

*Please tell me what wrong in this?

Hi Suman,

Try putting

MODIFY

code in your code after setting the field to SY-DATUM.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Can we MODIFY a view? I have tried but it is giving an error stating that the corresponding view is not defined as a table.

Then how to do it? Please let me know

Hi Suman,

Modify the DB table.

Hope this helps.
