what is the difference between se16 and se16n ?..

Answer / prabhuganesh

Hi,

SE16 - SAPLSETB - Data Browser
SE16N - RK_SE16N - General Table Display

SE16:
** SE16 is a data browse and it is used to view the
contents of the table and we cannot change or append new
fields to the existing structure of the table as we cannot
view the structure level display using the SE16 .

SE16N:
** The transaction code SE16N (general table display) is an
improved version of the old data browser (SE16). It has
been around for some time, but is not widely known amongst
consultants and end users of SAP. It looks a bit different
to the old “data browser” functionality (SE16).

** Once you have entered your table name, type "&SAP_EDIT"
without the quotation marks into the transaction code. This
enables editing functionality on SE16N and allows you to
make table changes. This allows you to access both
configuration and data tables which may be otherwise locked
in a production environment.

** Whilst this may appear to be a short cut and allow you
to access a back door which is normally shut, this hidden
feature should be used with caution in any SAP client -
especially a live or production system.

New Features of SE16N:
** The new transaction has a number of distinct advantages
over SE16.
** You no longer have a maximum of 40 fields to select in
the output.
** There are fewer steps involved in executing a number of
functions, whether it be outputting the results,
maintaining the values in a table etc.
** Exporting the data into Excel is far easier and quicker
** ALV functionality is available as standard
** The user is not restricted by having a maximum width of
1023 saved as a default in the user settings.

Limitations of SE16N:
**You can only output one table at a time. If you wish to
output more than one table you can use the available
reporting tools or the QuickViewer (transaction code SQVI)
functionality within SAP.

Cheers Friends,
