Lock and Unlock a table:AFVU

[Former Member]

Hi Folks.

I want to modify a standard table (AFVU ) with new user dates from User.For this,First I need to lock and unlock the table.

When I am trying for the standard table lock object (EAFVU) ,it was not there in the system.

Is there any way to find out the lock object for a particular table?

How to proceed for this?

Any Pointers are much helpful.

Hi,

Go to SE11 and display your table - do a where used list and select lock objects.

I really hope when you say you are modifying a standard table you are only updating custom appends on that table, and not directly updating standard SAP fields...

The standard SAP fileds(USR08 and USR09) are modifying .( not appending )

Hi,

Modifying the data in standard SAP fields is not good. Can you 100% guarantee that you won't get any referential integrity problems if you perform a direct update against that table?

It is often better to find a BAPI to update data.

Hi Majid,

Have you actually read the thread or just seen the words Lock and Unlock and cut and paste your stuff on table locking?! The OP knows how to use locks and just wants to know how to find a specific lock - please read a thread before adding random answers to it.
