INTRODUCTION:
I got the requirement to capture the Created by
Created on and Updated by Updated on logs for the
custom table using Table Maintenance Generator
events.
Here is the step by step process to capture the table
change logs.
Step 1:
Create a custom table.
Step 2:
Click on utilities, go to table maintenance generator.
Step 3:
Enter the details of the function group, propose
screen numbers and click on save, we will provide
the package name.
There are two different maintenance screen types
1. one step and
2. Two step
one step
In one step we will have only overview screen.
Will able to see and maintain only through the
overview screen.
Two step
We will have two screens. overview screen
and Single/Detail screen.
overview screen will contain key fields and
Single screen will contain all the other fields.
Step 4:
For TMG events, In menu Click on Environment--
>Modifications-->Events
Following screen will be displayed. From the below
list i have used Update and Create Events.
Update Event
Select the Update event and press enter, the
following screen will appear.
Source Code
1 ------------------------------------------
2 ***INCLUDE LZTEMP_DTLSF01.
3 ------------------------------------------
FORM update.
4
** -- Data Declarations
5
DATA: lv_timestamp TYPE tzonref-tstamps
6 *-- Time stamp conversion
7 CALL FUNCTION 'ABI_TIMESTAMP_CONVERT_INTO'
8 EXPORTING
9 iv_date = sy-datum
10 iv_time = sy-uzeit
11 IMPORTING
12 ev_timestamp = lv_timestamp
13 EXCEPTIONS
conversion_error = 1
14
OTHERS = 2.
15
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> TYPE any .
16 LOOP AT total.
17 CHECK <action> EQ aendern.
18 ** -- Updated By
19 ASSIGN COMPONENT 'UPDTD_BY' OF STRUCTURE
20 IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
21 <fs_field> = sy-uname.
22 ENDIF.
** -- Updated On
23
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'UPDTD_ON' OF STRUCTURE
24
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
25
<fs_field> = lv_timestamp.
26 ENDIF.
27 READ TABLE extract WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_ke
28 IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
29 extract = total.
30 MODIFY extract INDEX sy-tabix.
31 ENDIF.
32 IF total IS NOT INITIAL.
MODIFY total.
33
ENDIF.
34
ENDLOOP.
35 ENDFORM.
36
Once the code is completed then we need check and
activate the include.Here we need to activate the
below two objects.
Create Event
Select the Create event and press enter, the
following screen will appear.
Same process we have to go for the Create event.
Source Code
1 ------------------------------------------
2 ***INCLUDE LZTEMP_DTLSF02.
3 ------------------------------------------
4 FORM create.
5 ** -- Data Declarations
6 DATA: lv_timestamp TYPE tzonref-tstamps.
7 *-- Time stamp conversion
8 CALL FUNCTION 'ABI_TIMESTAMP_CONVERT_INTO'
9 EXPORTING
10 iv_date = sy-datum
11 iv_time = sy-uzeit
12 IMPORTING
13 ev_timestamp = lv_timestamp
14 EXCEPTIONS
15 conversion_error = 1
16 OTHERS = 2.
17 ** -- Created On & Created By
18 ztemp_dtls-crtd_by = sy-uname.
19 ztemp_dtls-crtd_on = lv_timestamp.
20 ENDFORM.
Check and activate it.
Step 5:
Now To test the Update and Create events Go to
Table maintenance generator ( SM30 Tcode) and
Click on maintain button as per shown below.
Next, Create the data by clicking on new entries and
click on save then we will able to see the Create
logs.
Update the existing data then click on save, then we
will able to see the Update logs.
Conclusion:
By following the above steps,we are able to see the
table create and update logs for a custom table,
which contains the fields "Date on which record was
created" and "Name of the person who created the
object".
Thanks for reading.

Note that there are some nice explanations in
the SAP documentation "Event 01: Before
Saving the Data in the Database".

Hey Roja, thanks for sharing!
In this special requirement you should create a
separate view for the table and mark the log
fields as "read-only" so they cannot be
changed by the user. Also it makes clear that
the user does not has to enter values here.
Also check event "21 - fill hidden fields" for this
case.
btw: I am sure that below code does not work
correctly!
1 LOOP AT total.
2 CHECK <action> EQ aendern.
3 ** -- Updated By
4 ASSIGN COMPONENT 'UPDTD_BY' OF STRUCTURE
<vim_total_struc> seems to have the first
changed line in the view but not the one you
loop at!

<vim_total_struc> is a global field symbol
which is assigned by SAP, at the very
beginning of the initialization of the dialog
program, via ASSIGN total TO
<vim_total_struc>, so it should work.

This works perfectly!! Thank you!
I only use sy-datum instead of
'ABI_TIMESTAMP_CONVERT_INTO' function.
It is more clear and efficient.
