The SETTAB <table name> function changes customizing tables (other database tables cannot be changed). The previous values are saved in an internal backup table, and can be restored with RESTAB.

SETTAB can:

Note

SETTAB changes table contents at test case runtime, but it does not lock the table.
  1. Enter SETTAB in the Funct. field and the table name in the Object field.
  2. Double-click on the line. You go to the detail maintenance. All table key fields are listed.
  3. Enter the complete keys (arguments) in the ARG table fields.

    4. Note

    The client table field always contains the current client.

  4. Choose Display all fields.
  5. If you want to change particular fields, enter the new value in the function parts of these fields (FKT) only.

Note

After entering the complete key, the function part field contents can be read in automatically with the Edit ® Tables ® Read table entries function. You can edit these values.

Caution

RESTAB * is automatically called after the test or if an error occurs.

To prevent the SETTAB settings being reset, enter the RESTAB% function. This deletes all reset data for the previous SETTAB settings. Subsequent SETTABs are logged again and can be reset with RESTAB.

Sort table fields

You can sort the function part (FKT) table fields for detail maintenance. Three sort criteria can be used consecutively with the same function:

  1. Dictionary definition sequence
  2. Alphabetic by field name (Field name column)
  3. Alphabetic by keywords (Description column)

By default, the table fields are in their Dictionary definition sequence. The Sort function sorts the function part fields by the next sort criterion.

Maintaining a function in a remote system

You can specify a parameter for remote maintenance after recording with this function, as described under Create a remote call in REF – Refer to test case.

If a parameter with the remote access target is defined, this function is performed remote when the procedure is called. The destination is the current contents of the parameters.
