Validation on table maintenance

While creating the tables, sometimes we may need to update the table fields in the background. For example, if we create a table with 10
fields and in those 10 fields there are 2 fields which are User name and the Date, these 2 fields should update automatically when a record
Inserted/Updated in the table. It also can be used when we want provide various validations on creating, changing or saving entries in a table.

Event Handling
When we provide event handling on table maintenance, table fields will be updated automatically when a new record inserted into the table or
an existed record changes through the table maintenance generator.

To achieve the event handling in table maintenance, we need to create a table maintenance generator and then create events. Process is as
follows:

Create a table ZTAB with the following fields:

Authorization Group: &NC&

Function group: Any suitable FC Eg: ZBC420XX

Maintenance type: Two Step

Maint. screen no: Overview screen 8005

List of events available:

Choose maintenance event 05-Creating New Entry and provide a name of the event (This will become perform/subroutine).

Click on Editor Button to provide event handling code.

A popup will be appear, It will ask to create an include program, in which we'll write the event handling code.
Click on continue.

Write the following code in include for this event.

FORM new_entry.
DATA: v_nchar TYPE i.

CONSTANTS: c_conlimit TYPE i VALUE 3.

ztab-changed_by = sy-uname. " current user

ztab-create_date = sy-datum. " current date
ztab-create_time = sy-uzeit. " current time

* Validation on Country Field

v_nchar = STRLEN( ztab-country ).
IF v_nchar NE c_conlimit.
MESSAGE i536.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM. "New_Entry

Create Transaction Code:

Create a transaction code to run the table maintenance generator.
Go to Tcode SE93
Transaction code: ZTAB
Short text: Test Table Maintenance Events
Start Object: Transaction with parameters (Parameter Transaction)

Transaction: SM30
Skip first Screen: Check ON
Default Values:

Hi Sumit,

I also tried the same and it is working fine. I have an issue with the same. When you regenerate the view, the subroutine is getting deleted and the program dumps. Any idea how to keep the
validation on the field even after regeneration?
