maintain a custom table having variable rawstring field in SM30 transaction

[former_member199306]

hii experts,

i want to maintain a custom table in SM30 view. my table has RAWSTRING type data element and in my case it is not possible to change data element type as CHAR or LCHR . because my data not having fixed length and it will get truncated. please suggest if any alternative is possible.

[Juwin]

Rawstring type of data elements are used when there are complex data structures to be stored in the database table (Check statements IMPORT/EXPORT to database/ data buffer). Since the data in Rawstring field cannot be typed in manually, the table containing such a field shouldn't ideally be edited through SM30.

Thanks,

hi juwin,

yes u r right but is there any alternative solution is available for such problem??

I don't require RAWSTRING type field in SM30  but should remain in respective custom table

Try creating a maintenance view that does not include the RAWSTRING field.

hi Rob,

I have tried  but get no success.

Rob’s solution is the good one, which error did you get or what step was unsuccessful (creating the view, creating/executing the dialog on the new view?)

hi raymond,

when i have created maintenance view and display it in SM30 transaction it shows the dump as

""Ztable" must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables, "

"strings, references, or structures as components ."

" "

" "

So, what is the structure (including data types) of the view that you created?

hi Rob,

i just excluded the field  from maintenance view which have RAWSTING data type.

and when i execute that view it displays above short dump.

• Are there any other not-allowed fields to use maintenance dialog generator and spare a programmer
• Did you actually used the new maintenance view to generate the dialog maintenance as well as start SM30 transaction
• Did you forget to delete the previous dialog maintenance generated for the full table (same function group?)

Regards,

Raymond

• NO
• yes
• yes i have deleted the both maintenance generated dialog as well as function group.
