ng Transaction se16
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a way to change entries of a table with SE16 even if you don't have the
authorization:
1. Go into SE16.
2. Enter the Table Name (ex: USR02) and then press Enter.
3. Filter the fields to create a select list that contains the row which needs t
o be edited.
4. In the Select Entries list, turn "on" the checkbox at the beginning of the ro
w you need to edit. Then click the Details button.
5. Type /h in the command field and press Enter. Then press Enter a second time.
You should now be in debug mode.
6. If the title ABAP Debugger Controls Session (1) appears at the top of your sc
reen, click Debugger -> Switch to Classic Debugger. Otherwise go to the next ste
p.
7. At the bottom of the screen under the heading Field names, type the word code
and press the Enter button. The value of Field contents should now show to the
right of your field name, it would normally appear as the value SHOW.
8. Change the value SHOW to EDIT. Then click on the Chge fld contents button. It
is the little yellow pencil icon at the end of the same line.
9. Press the F8 button. Your row should not show as editable.
The same process pretty much works for all rows modification command. If you wan
t to delete a row, simply change the SHOW value to DELE. And if you want to add
a row, simply pull up the details for any existing row and change the SHOW to IN
SR. It won't change the row you are displaying but it will give you a blank temp
late so you can create a new row.
