Deleted table entry appears in Sm30 again but not in debug delete for Table

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have a Z table and a tabel maintenance generator for the same .

There is a default entry with junk characters created in my Sm30 . Even when i delete this entry this entry reappears again and again .

This entry is also found in Se16 for the table entry.

Whereas when i debug using /h and use the code = 'DELE' in debug mode , this entry gets deleted .

Why does this happen ?

Thanks

Hi Swarna,

Delete your current Table Maintenance Generator and recreate the Table Maintenance Generator as per your requirement.

Hi All,

Thanks for your responses . yes that would solve the issue but im curious to know why this happens .

It can happen may be you have changed some data type or added some fields and existing values got converted to junk characters

Hi ,

Thanks for the clarification.

Just a final question on this.

When you delete in sm30 and save this reappears whereas in debug mode of se16 and using code = 'dele' it gets permanently deleted.

Can you please let me know why this occurs as this is strange and both do the same function.

Thanks

Hi,

Looks like the problem is with your table maintenance generator. The reason why the junk record is getting created can be that every time you access sm30 to create or maintain or delete records this corrupt record is getting generated. even though u delete it still it gets created as you have used the delete option of the generator.

Check if there is any code written over there...
