CUTE, the Custom Table Editor, sets out to replace SM30's generated maintenance views by editing a custom table's rows in an editable ALV grid over a dynamically created internal table.

Table maintenance in SAP systems, the README says, is mainly done through generated maintenance views and transaction SM30, and those views have 'some annoying limitations'. CUTE states the aim of offering an alternative, and its chosen technique is an editable ALV grid over an internal table created dynamically, which the README says 'already provides the main features for editing'. The capabilities are written as planned rather than shipped: use without any generation, authorisation settings, foreign-key checks, search helps read from the check table or the domain, locking on key values instead of the whole table, and the assigned text table maintained in several languages at once. The same page lists what the grid costs: it loads only the lines currently on screen, so a change to a row scrolled out of view can be missed on a table with many rows, and a generated internal table can show the wrong F4 value help. One dependency is named, dodo, which displays the documentation of the edited table in a docking container.

Where it sits

Lives in
ABAP
Provides
Maintaining table entriesABAPMaintaining table entriescapabilityEditing the rows of a data or configuration table through a generic or generated screen, with value helps, checks and a managed change package, so that no maintenance application is written per table. Looking at what a table holds is [browsing table data](capability:abap-data-browsing), even where one transaction does both.

Custom Table Editor - Alternative to SM30

cute Logo

abstract

Table maintenance in SAP systems is mainly done via generated table maintenance views and transaction SM30. These generated maintenance views have some annoying limitations. The project CUTE - CUstom Table Editor wants to offer an alternative to this.

dependencies

project dodo for displaying the documentation of edited table in docking container

planned features

  • simple use without any generations needed
    • customizing entry or kind of marker interface that a table can be used for editing
    • Authorizations settings
    • automatic check for foreign key definitions
    • automatic search help for table or data element
    • automatic descriptive text for fields if check table or domain values exist
  • custom checks and data manipulation with table specific code
  • locking for key values not the complete table
  • visualizing edited, deleted and inserted lines/ values
  • transportation function for changed lines (customizing)
  • display of all input errors at once without limiting the correction to the one false entry
  • as in SM30 maintain also the description of the assigned text table.
    • this gives the chance to maintain different languages at once (each language in a different column).
  • ...

technique

An ALV-grid seems to be the best tool for most common SAP systems. Dynamic creation for internal tables plus editable ALV-grid already provides the main features for editing.

known challenges

  • the grid control only loads the lines into the frontend which are displayed on the screen. With many table lines there might be some issues that only the displayed entries are copied/ changed
  • changing / copying key values might be some work...
  • there are some issues with wrong F4 value help in a grid when using generated internal tables
  • SM30 automatically generated the maintenance of the assigned text table. Might be okay for a simple table but eventually complex for views.
