How to edit table data

Sometimes all you need to have is debugging privileges in your environment and you can do anything you want.

The easiest way to modify table data when the table doesn’t have generated maintenance form is via transaction SE16N. Type the table name in the Table field and then type “/h” and hit enter in the command field (highlighted in yellow on the screenshot below) and execute the transaction (click F8)

The debugger is going to stop in the beginning of the transaction execution and you will have to change the values of two attributes of the structure GD – EDIT and SAPEDIT to ‘X’.

Then continue the execution of the transaction (click F8) and you’ll notice that the data is in edit mode, you can create, update and delete lines as well as save the changes.
