Hi

I have a ztable with date & uname as last two fields. My requirement is whenever user maintains new entry in the table ( thru SM30 - we are giving tcode for Sm30 screen ) , system date & user name should be added along with this record automatically.
We will not display these two fields as input to user. These values should be updated directly.
Somebody told me to write code in module pool for the screen which is generated by table maintainance generator. But I could not proceed.
Pls let me know how this can be acheived.
Regards
Harshada

Hi Harshada,
You need to write a code in table Maintenance Events.
Refer the similar issue below.
Requirement:
1. Table Name: ZORDER_RESTRICT.
2. Contains many custom fields + Changed By and Changed
On fields.
3. When any user changes an existing record, I need to populate the Changed By and Changed On fields.
Issue:
1. I have coded the events on SE54 as follows:
FORM Z_MODIFY_USER_INFO_GENERATION.
DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX.
DATA: WA_ZORDER_RESTRICT TYPE ZORDER_RESTRICT.
BREAK-POINT.
LOOP AT TOTAL.
IF <ACTION> = AENDERN.
READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <VIM_XTOTAL_KEY>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
ELSE.
CLEAR F_INDEX.
ENDIF.
WA_ZORDER_RESTRICT = TOTAL.
WA_ZORDER_RESTRICT-CHANGED_BY = SY-UNAME.
WA_ZORDER_RESTRICT-CHANGE_DATE = SY-DATUM.
TOTAL = WA_ZORDER_RESTRICT.
MODIFY TOTAL.
CHECK F_INDEX GT 0.
EXTRACT = TOTAL.
MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDEX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM. "Z_MODIFY_USER_INFO_GENERATION
2. The event is "01 = Before saving the data in the database".
Extended Table Maintenance Events : Event 01 Before Saving the Data in the Database . I add one Form uoutine as follows code:
FORM change_field_vaule.
DATA: f_index LIKE sy-tabix. "Index to note the lines found
LOOP AT total.
IF <action> = aendern.
READ TABLE extract WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
f_index = sy-tabix.
ELSE.
CLEAR f_index.
ENDIF.
*Custom code
<b> total-upd_date = sy-datum.
total-uname = sy-uname</b>
modify total.
CHECK f_index GT 0.
extract = total.
MODIFY extract INDEX f_index.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
sy-subrc = 0.

ENDFORM.

Hi Harshada,
Goto the table maintenance generator of the Table.
On this screen.
Environment -> Modification -> Events
Create New entry in the table with T = 05 and Z* <any name>
Save it.
An editor button appears next to the from name.
Click on it and create an include.
Write statements.
Tabname-ChangedBy = sy-uname.
Tabname-ChangedOn = sy-datum.
Hope it helps.
Lokesh
