ABAP TIP Customize Table Maintenance

If you define the attribute of table column by using predefined type like below screen, you can’t set the column description in table maintenance.

For test, let’s create Table maintenance Dialog via Menu :  Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator.

 

Move to T-CODE:SM30, the description of URL column will be displayed as ‘+’ without no specific description.

 

In order to change the description for URL column, execute T-CODE:SE80을 and input the Function Group name that you entered when you created table maintenance. Choose the screen and push the layout out button.

 

Now, you can change the description .

 

After activating the screen, you can see the description is changed the value you entered.

 

Like this, there is room for customizing the other attribute of the table maintenance.
