The function module calls the extended table maintenance(View maintenance).
If the required maintenance modules do not yet exist, they can becreated for you. Modules created in this way, in contrast to'regulär' modules, which were created by the transaction SE54,can not be extended, and can not be transported into other systems.
Selection conditions for the data to be processed, andfunction codes of the standard functions which are not required, can bepassed.
Exceptions are raised with MESSAGE...RAISING, and therefore need not beprocessed by the caller.
With the parameter ACTION, you specify the processing action to beperformed. Possible actions are:
  • S = Display

  • U = Change

  • T = Transport

    • You can pass a correction number with the parameter CORR_NUMBER.This correction number is only required in connection with thetransport action (parameter ACTION).
    If you have passed a correction number, the user is prompted for acorrection number in a dialog box when he or she calls the transportfunction.
    Do not use any more
    You can either create a maintenance dialog with the table maintenancegenerator (transaction SE54) or use the transaction SE16 for quick,temporary access to a table.

    Description
    Information about the possible effects in other clients is normalllydisplayed when data in client-independent tables or views is to bemaintained.
    If this is not desired in particular cases, this flag can suppress theinformation.

    Value range
    SPACE - the information is displayed (default)
    <> SPACE - the information is not displayed

    Default
    SPACE - the information is displayed
    If the flag is not set (' ') during the call, the user may no
    The table DBA_SELLIST contains the database access selectionconditions. The following fields must be filled:
    Field name Contents
    NEGATION NOT, if the condition is to be negated
    SPACE otherwise
    VIEWFIELD Name of the field for which the condition is to apply
    OPERATOR logical operator of the condition (e.g. 'EQ','NE',...)
    VALUE comparison value of the condition in external format
    AND_OR AND, if the next line in the condition is to be linked
    with the current one by a logical AND
    OR , if the next line in the condition is to be linked
    with the current one by a logical OR
    SPACE, if no line follows
    Notes:
    Allowed operators are: (see also ABAP doc.)
    EQ - equals
    NE - not equal
    GT - greater than
    GE - greater than or equal to
    LT - less than
    LE - less than or equal to
    CA - only for strings: contains at least one character of thecomparison string
    CN - only for strings: negation of CA
    CO - only for strings: contains only characters from the comparisonstring
    NA - only for strings: negation of CO
    CP - only for strings: contains the pattern in the comparison string
    NP - only for strings: negation of CP
    CS - only for strings: contains the string in the comparison string
    NS - only for strings: negation of CS
    LK - corresponds to the LIKE operator in a SELECT ... WHERE clause
    No check is (yet) made in the function module, whether the selectionconditions pased here are compatible with conditions which may bespecified in the view definition in the Data Dictionary. It is thus theresponsibility of the caller only to pass conditions which arecompatible with the Data Dictionary.
    When the table EXCL_CUA_FUNCT is called, it must contain all thefunctions which should not be able to be executed during the dataprocessing, i.e. which should be dynamically deactivated in the GUIinterface at run time. This is the case, e.g. for the followingfunctions, which can not be performed unambiguously in clustermaintenance:
    - 'ANZG' --> Change processing mode from 'Change' to 'Display', which
    is meaningless in a maintenance cluster
    - 'AEND' --> Change processing mode from 'Display' to 'Change', which
    is meaningless in a display cluster
    - 'xxxx' --> other functions identified by the caller.
    The table must have the structure VIMEXCLFUN, as follows:
    FUNCTION(4) TYPE C, ---> contains the function codes which are to bedynamically deactivated
    MESSAGE(3) TYPE C. ---> Online help auxiliary field (not yetsupported)
