Want to validate field in Table Maintenance Generator Events Dec 6, 2010 10:15 AM
Hi:

While maintaining entries in custom table through SM30, I want to check if couple fields(they are not part of
primary keys) has any value. If user has not entered any value in them then I have to show them a message
and doesn't allow to save. I tried below methods to achieve it.

1. I used Event 05 and gave an error message if the field values are empty. The problem is that the fields
got greyed out and doesn't allow to input any value.
2. I used combination of events 21 and 01 (with the same code in both of them). In both the events I am
checking if field values are initial, then I am giving information message and before the information message
I am setting VIM_ABORT_SAVING = 'X'. The problem is that the entry is getting saved though the the fields I
am checking for are empty.

I want to show the user an E or I or S message (which ever is suitable in this scenario) if couple of fields are
empty and not allow them to save and also allow them to enter some value in those fields with out getting them
greyed out.

Is there any better way to achieve it other than the ones I tried above?

Thanks.

Use the event '01'.

HI,

If you set vim_abort_saving = 'X' then the record wont save in the table.

Hi Praveen,

Unfortunatley the entry is getting saved. Am I missing anything here. Am I using the wrong event?

Hi,
Use the event -01 - Before save and also 05-Create new entry.
If you dont want the user to save entries, use an Error message so that the record will not be saved in case of
validation failure.

Thanks,
Shiva

I am giving the error message in EVENT05 if the field value is empty and once the error message is triggered
the field is getting greyed out (since it is not a primary key) and is not allowing to enter any value. I want to give
the user the flexibility to enter the value after the message on the same screen.

Any idea how to do it?

Thanks.

Try following code in EVENT05.

form field_validation.
if ztest-saknr is initial.
message e003(zmessage).
LEAVE TO CURRENT TRANSACTION.
endif.
endform.

Hi Vamshi,

Go to table maintainance generator then screen flow logic , Then

PROCESS AFTER INPUT.

MODULE liste_exit_command AT EXIT-COMMAND.
MODULE liste_before_loop.
LOOP AT extract.
MODULE liste_init_workarea.
CHAIN.

Hi,

Go to the Table Maintenance Generator Function group in SE80.

Go to the Screen flow logic .

Write your Code in PAI event

e.g
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE LISTE_EXIT_COMMAND AT EXIT-COMMAND.
MODULE LISTE_BEFORE_LOOP.
LOOP AT EXTRACT.
MODULE LISTE_INIT_WORKAREA.
CHAIN.

MODULE SET_UPDATE_FLAG ON CHAIN-REQUEST.

ENDCHAIN.
FIELD VIM_MARKED MODULE LISTE_MARK_CHECKBOX.

By this way you can achieve your requirement.

I forgot to close the thread. The solution to write logic in PAI worked for me. Thanks for the responses.

Hi Vamshi,

Kindly let me know how to validate the fields in the table control which I created by using table maintenance
generator.

For Example I have 2 fields one is deptno and deptname. I want to validate the Deptname which should not be
blank.The above screens I created via Table Maintenance generator.

Hi Vamshi,

In order to make the input Ready, the thumb rule in ABAP screen programming is writing the code in Chain and
Endchain.

so in the Function Group in the table maintenance generator screen, write the logic of your validation by
creating modules for the corresponding fields.

Thanks,
Vinayaka SJ

VIM_ABORT_SAVING has to work . Make sure you are setting this at the right place. You could also try
setting sy-subrc explcitly.

if condition not satisfied.

message S(000) with 'Enter values for field xxx'.
VIM_ABORT_SAVING = 'X'.
sy-subrc = 4.
EXIT.
endif.

Deepthi

I managed to use event 01 and stay in screen with an error message.
This worked for me:
