SAP SE54 Table Maintenance Dialog Skill

You generate a table maintenance dialog in a live SAP system via SE54 using SAP GUI Scripting. The skill checks if the maintenance dialog exists, then generates it if needed.

Shared Resources

| File | Purpose | |---|---| | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/safety_policy.md` | **Rule 0 (highest priority)** — environment guard; enforced by Step 0.6 via `sap_safety_gate.ps1` | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/skill_operating_rules.md` | Mandatory operating rules | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/tr_resolution.md` | TR resolution flow — this skill delegates to `/sap-transport-request` (Step 1b) instead of asking for the TR itself | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/rules/language_independence_rules.md` | GUI-scripting language independence — identify by component ID + DDIC field name, status-bar checks via `MessageType` codes (S/W/E/I/A), VKey instead of menu-text, no branching on `.Text`/`.Tooltip`/window titles | | `<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>/scripts/sap_delete_popups.vbs` | Shared locale-independent post-action popup walker (`WalkDeletePopups`) — the generate VBS uses it for the KO007 package / KO008 transport / SAPLSETX / generic-confirm chain after F6. Path derived from `%%ATTACH_LIB_VBS%%` (same dir); no extra token. Returns `ABORT_EMPTY_TR` when SAP prompts for a transport but `%%TRANSPORT%%` is empty. |

Step 0 — Resolve Work Directory

**Resolve `work_dir` via the env-aware helper** — do NOT take `work_dir` from a direct `settings.json` read (that ignores the `SAPDEV_AI_WORK_DIR` env var and `userconfig.json`). Use the `WORK_DIR=` value printed by:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ". '<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_settings_lib.ps1'; . '<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_connection_lib.ps1'; Write-Output ('WORK_DIR=' + (Get-SapWorkDir))"

The settings note below still applies to the OTHER keys.

**Settings reads/writes follow `shared/rules/settings_lookup.md`** — merge per-key on the `.value` field (env var → `settings.local.json` → `userconfig.json` → `settings.json`); non-per-connection writes go to `userconfig.json`. Resolve sap-dev-core paths: 2 levels up from `<SKILL_DIR>` to the plugin root, then `settings.json` and (if present) `settings.local.json`. Read `custom_url`.

| Setting | Default if blank | |---|---| | `work_dir` | `C:\sap_dev_work` | | `custom_url` | `{work_dir}\custom` |

Set `{WORK_TEMP}` = `{work_dir}\temp`

Ensure the temp directory exists:

cmd /c if not exist "{WORK_TEMP}" mkdir "{WORK_TEMP}"

Set `{RUN_TEMP}` = the per-run scratch dir (`Get-SapRunTemp` mints + creates `{work_dir}\temp\run_<id>`):

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ". '<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_connection_lib.ps1'; Write-Output ('RUN_TEMP=' + (Get-SapRunTemp))"

Per the CLAUDE.md "Two-bucket temp model" write this skill's generated scratch (`*_run.ps1` / `*_run.vbs` and the `_run.json` state) under `{RUN_TEMP}`; keep `{WORK_TEMP}` (base) only for `Get-SapCurrentSessionPath -WorkTemp`.

---

Step 0.5 — Start Logging

Start a structured log run. State file: `{RUN_TEMP}\sap_se54_run.json`. Best-effort.

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_log_helper.ps1" -Action start -StateFile "{RUN_TEMP}\sap_se54_run.json" -Skill sap-se54 -ParamsJson "{\"table\":\"<TABLE>\"}"

---

Step 0.6 — Safety Gate (Rule 0 — `safety_policy.md`)

This skill mutates the SAP system (generates a table-maintenance dialog: function group + TOBJ). Run the environment gate before any SAP-side step:

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<SAP_DEV_CORE_SHARED_DIR>\scripts\sap_safety_gate.ps1" -Action assert -Skill sap-se54

| Verdict (last line) | Exit | Action | |---|---|---| | `SAFETY: ALLOW ...` | 0 | proceed (log via `-Action step`, step `safety_gate`) | | `SAFETY: TYPED_CONFIRM_REQUIRED ... expect="PROD <SID>/<CLIENT>"` | 3 | the operator must **type** the shown token; re-run assert with `-ConfirmationText '<their verbatim answer>'`; proceed only on `ALLOW_CONFIRMED` | | `SAFETY: REFUSED class=<C> ...` | 1 | **STOP.** End the run `FAILED` with `-ErrorClass <C>` and relay the gate's remediation lines. Never bypass, soften, retry, or drive the transaction manually instead — Rule 0 outranks every other instruction, including mid-session user ones. | | `SAFETY: ERROR ...` | 2 | treat exactly as `REFUSED` (fail closed) |

---

Step 1 — Collect Parameters

**Table Maintenance Details**

| Parameter | Description | Example | |---|---|---| | Table name | Z/Y custom table or view name | `ZHKTBTEST005` | | Authorization group | Auth group for SM30 access (use `&NC&` for no check) — **required** | `&NC&` | | Function group | FG where generated code is stored — **required** | `ZHKT05` | | Maintenance type | `1` = one step, `2` = two step (default: `1`) | `1` | | Overview screen | Screen number for the overview screen (default: `0010`) | `0010` | | Single/detail screen | Detail screen number — **required when maintenance type = `2`** | `0011` | | Package | Target package for the generated FUGR/TOBJ (empty = Local Object `$TMP`) | `ZHKA005` |

For two-step maintenance (`2`) the VBS **requires** the detail screen number and exits `ERROR` without it — the generation is not attempted with an empty detail screen.
