Change Column Headings in ALV Report Using OO

Question

Hi Friends,
I am using OO to display a report with ALV Grid
I tried to change the column names but it still takes the column names from the DDIC.
My declaration is as  follows
Data: num type dmbtr.
TRY.
            lr_column ?= lr_columns->get_column( columnname = 'NUM' ).
            lr_column->set_output_length('7').
            lr_column->set_long_text( ' Value' ).
           lr_column->set_short_text( ''() ).
            lr_column->set_medium_text( 'Value' ).
          CATCH cx_salv_not_found INTO gr_error.
            gr_msg = gr_error->get_text( ).
            MESSAGE gr_msg TYPE 'I'.
        ENDTRY.
*--- display report
        gr_table->display( ).
      CATCH cx_salv_msg.
        WRITE: 'Error displaying grid! - cx_salv_msg'(044).
      CATCH cx_salv_not_found.
        WRITE: 'Error displaying grid! - cx_salv_not_found'(004).
      CATCH cx_salv_data_error.
        WRITE: 'Error displaying grid! - cx_salv_data_error'(005).
      CATCH cx_salv_existing.
        WRITE: 'Error displaying grid! - cx_salv_existing'(006).
I need the column name as VALUE but it displays as Amount LC in the alv report.
Thanks

Hey hello,
you have to change short medium and log text
look at this:
gr_columns = (Table got from factory)->get_columns( ).
  gr_column = gr_columns->get_column('NAme').
  gr_column->set_long_text('new name long').
  gr_column->set_medium_text('new name medium').
  gr_column->set_short_text('new name short ).
it will help
thanks
