ALV column with variable number of decimals to be displayed

Hi,
I've an ALV where I need to display a numeric column with a variable number of decimal row-by-row, from 0 (no decimals) to 4.
I've declared the numeric field as TYPE P DECIMALS 4.
I've tried with DECMLFIELD in ALV catalog, and this works for 1 to n decimals, but when I leave the field indicated in DECMLFIELD equal to 0, ALV shows the default number of decimals of the field (4 in that case).
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks.
Jordi

No, I didn't try EDIT_MASK.
How should I use it to format output to display decimals or not depending on the row?
I have 2 kinds of values, all stored in a TYPE P DECIMALS 4: Those that really are an integer (decimals should not be displayed for that ones) and the values that really have 4 decimals (which should be displayed with decimals in ALV).
Example:
13,0000 should be displayed as 13
0,4567 should be displayed as 0,4567
With EDIT_MASK could I do that?
Thank you very much.

Add column with preq number to ALV grid in me53n

hi all,
i am trying to add column with preq number (BANFN) to ALV with preq items in ME53N. it is not available in column set, when trying to add by "change layout" button - i dont understand why, when the strcucture MEREQ3211GRID contains it :-(
i also tried to add new field ZZBANFN into the structure CI_EBANMEM and after that, i could add the new field to ALV through change layout, but it was empty of course. so i implemented EXIT_SAPLMEREQ_001 from MEREQ001, but ZZBANFN is still empty, because this exit is not called when opening ME53N, but when clicking on tab "customer data" in preq item detail.
how to solve this? is there any exit that is called before displaying the ALV grid?

Here is some more detail. I included my code from the Enhancement.
ENHANCEMENT-POINT MM06EFPO_POT_AUFBAUEN_02 SPOTS ES_MM06EFPO_POT_AUFBAUEN INCLUDE BOUND.
   ENHANCEMENT 1 Z_MM06EFPO_POT_AUFBAUEN_1.    "active version

You will also need to change the layout in Item Overview to bring your field in.

Display table with variable number of columns

Hello Forum,
I'm trying to build an export view of User Management Engine data. I would like to output a table with one row for every user with yes / no fields indicating membership in each of the available groups. Because the number of available groups might change in the future, I can't hardcode the column names for the groups.
That is, I call a webservice to compute a table, and I get back a table with a variable number of columns.
When I try to insert the webservice into my VC model, it complains:
"Port 'Response' was omitted because it includes nested tables, which are not presently supported by Visual Composer"
You might be interested to know that the business method of my webservice (for testing purposes) looks as follows:
public String[][] getVariableSizeArray() {
 String[][] ret = new String[10][];
 for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
 ret = new String[10];
 for (int j = 1; j <= 10; j++) {
 ret[j] = Integer.toString(i * j);
 return ret;
Any help is appreciated, and points will be awarded for helpful answers,
Sincerely,
Florian

Hi Florian,
dynamic data structures are not supported. You can do this with a workaround. If you know the maximum count of your columns then you can add them to the table and hide/unhide them dynamicly via a formula in the hidden condition. Of course in your WS you als need a fix structure of your columns.
This is not the best solution, I know so far, but it works. This is just one limit of VC.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Procedure with variable number of columns

Hi, I have a procedure that looks like this:
PROCEDURE PROC(p_cursor OUT sys_refcursor)
And in the procedure, I build up QUERY dynamically and the number of columns varies at runtime.
At the end I do
OPEN p_cursor for QUERY
Then to call this, I'm doing
call PROC(?)
My question is, how would I go about running the query from this procedure, then adding rows or modifying the existing results, then returning the modified data?
What I want to do is add a new row based on some condition, so I still need to return a variable number of columns, but I need to modify the results before I return them.
Is there any way of doing this? I need to do some calculations on the columns (the variable columns), create a new row, insert into result set, and return this new result set.

A sys_refcursor is ideally suited to pass back to a front end gui like .NET or Java which can then use that cursor to retrieve the data.
In PL/SQL there is no point in using a sys_refcursor unless you know, at design/compile time what the returned columns are going to be.
If the resultant columns are dynamic, then you have no choice but to use the DBMS_SQL package, where you can parse and execute any SQL statement you like and then use the DBMS_SQL package to describe what the resultant columns are and how many there are. From that you can reference the columns by position rather than by name.
e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE run_query(p_sql IN VARCHAR2) IS

v_n_val     NUMBER;
v_d_val     DATE;

However_ before any of that, you should really ask yourself if there is a real need to dynamically be creating queries. There is rarely any real need to do that and if you're finding it's common in your application then this is often a sign of poor design or poorly defined business requirements (leaving the technical side to try and be "flexible" and hence leading to unmaintainable code etc.).

How create table with variable number of columns?

I am creating table data in Java. Number of columns is variable. How I can write <table> in UIX.
Here is code of one of my unsuccessful attempt:
<provider>
<!- get table data like DataObjectList-->
<data name="ReportTableData">
<method class="app.ReportTableData" method="getTableData"/>
</data>
<!- get names of columns like DataObjectList-->
<data name="ColumnNames">
<method class="app.ReportTableData" method="getColumnNames"/>
</data>
</provider>
<table data:tableData="@ReportTableData">
<contents data:childData="@ColumnNames">
<text data:text="nameColumn"/>
</contents>
</table>
I hoped that I can get cell data by key, where key is name of column. But cells of table contain only names of columns.
Please help me, where I mistaken?
Thank you.

Hi Sergey,
The UIX table implementation relies on a childData like mechanism internally to iterate over the rows. For instance, when you databind the text attribute of the UINode used to stamp out each column, you are relying on the uix:table iterating over the table data using the data object for the current row when evaluating your column stamp.
Setting the data:childData attribute on the table's contents element conflicts with UIX's internal iteration over the tableData. For this reason, we don't support specifying a dynamic number of table columns in UIX XML.
This doesn't mean that you can't do it, there are different strategies. If you've got a finite and known set of columns, you can specify each possible column and then databind the rendered attribute of each one to hide and show it as appropriate. Another, often cleaner approach, is to build this subtree of UINodes in Java code.

Add column with row number to table

Hi,
to a table view I'd like to add a new column that contains the row number for each row.
I have many data sources (twelve) and with the union operator I create one output dataset. The output data is sorted by the arrangement of the input ports of the union operator.
Is there a way to add a column with its corresponding entry number?
Regards, FT

I have a similar question to the original post. It seems your answer will fill the new field in all rows with the same value. But, what if we want an actual row number?
I am simply looking to add a row number to a table. I only have one data source. The business scenario is that the output of the data service is sorted in descending order on value. I want to be able to select the first 10 (i.e. the top 10 items based on that value).
Even if I can solve my business scenario without using a row number field after the sort, it seems like a technique that would come in handy.
Any ideas? I'm pretty new to using Visual Composer so I may be missing something obvious.

How to code spark custom component with variable number of (skin)parts?

Hello. I'm trying to code a complex Spark custom component that may have a variable number of parts. To help you understand the requirements, the component can be visualized as an HSlider with a unlimited number of thumbs (as opposed to one).
How do I, in general, represent these thumbs in the host component as well as the skin? If I had a fixed number of thumbs, say 5, I could easily represent them as 5 button SkinParts declaratively. However, it's not immediately clear to me how to deal with a variable number of them.
I've studied the HSlider implementation as well as other components and can't find an example that fits this pattern. The closest thing that I can think of is to represent the thumbs as a DataGroup and provide a custom item renderer to render them. Couple that with the general HSlider behaviors that I need to preserve, such as the fairly involved local/global coordinate translations, I don't know whether the approach will work.
Any better ideas? Thanks.

#2 sounds utterly strange to me. How would I utilize the phase id?The code below shows my idea whereas I never validate it in any real projects:
public class MyPhaseListener implements PhaseListener {
     private static final String IDKEY = "PHASEID";
     public static PhaseId getCurrentPhaseId() {
          return (PhaseId) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestMap().get(IDKEY);
     public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event) {
event.getFacesContext().getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put(IDKEY,event.getPhaseId());
     public PhaseId getPhaseId() {
          return PhaseId.ANY_PHASE;
}You can write your constructor like as:
if (MyPhaseListener.getCurrentPhaseId().equals(PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE ) {
     /* create children because this is the first time to create the component */
}

Master-detail reports with variable number of pages in a big report

I am designing with Reports 6.0.5.32.0 a master-detail report such as a
combination between a customer with his name, address etc, at the top of
the page (always 60% of the first page) and then as details lines with his orders.
For one customer seems relatively OK with the variable number of pages in accordance with the number of his orders.
When the main query finds more customers I present always the customer at the top of
a new page (that's easy), but how can I control the number of the next pages for the orders, variable for every customer.
I can not predict how many pages are necessary for a customer and white pages are
not desirable. When the number of Max. Vertical Body Pages is too low I can get the next pages for every customer, but appears an
uncontrollable shift to the left.
For instance, a customer with 40 orders needs 3 pages, one with 4 orders only 1 page, one with 15 orders 2 pages, etc.
What's the magic property for a secure and precise layout?

Hi Andreas,
did you try setting vertical spacing to expand or variable on master repeating frame (and posible other frames surrounding master repeating frame)?
Hope this helps

ALV column with search capability

All,
When you create an ALV grid with a field of type like mara-matnr you have a button automatically inserted in the cell and when you click on it, you have the standard search for materials and you can list/select all the materials you want.
I would like to have the same for jurisdiction code but when I define the field like TTXJ-TXJCD, there is no search capability attached in the cell.
Does anyone knows how to do this?

John,
I created an elementary Search Help with selection method on table 'TTXJ' .
I applied this Search Help to a new custom domain I created and finally I assigned this domain to a field of a custom table I had.
Unfortunately, I have no list in the ALV grid.
Is there something else you believe I should do?
Thanks,
Isabelle

Alv report with varying number of columns

hi all,
I am new to abap. I am writing this to get a brief idea of what i wanted to do in system.
I have to do a report using alv. The format of the report looks like this.
acc no     acc. name     amt_sum_april   amt_sum_may   amt_sum_june. ............. total_months
the colum amt_sum_ depends on user input period(month interval).
if the user selects 4 to 6 = 3 columns ,if the user selects 4 to 10 = 7 columns
so on.......
Anyone have idea how to do it, because in the
initial structure or itab, the number of columns depends on the user input.. i am stucking here ...
pls help.
thanks and regards
jose

Hi friend,
It's very complicated to do that, I'm sure there's a way to do it but I really don't know it. Once I had a similar requirement and I did something else that solved my problem without making a fussy complicated code. I added a colum MONTH or PERIOD (depending on your requirement) and then I make a subtotal by that column. So you need:
acc no acc. name amt_sum_april amt_sum_may amt_sum_june. ............. total_months
Now you would have:
acc no acc. name    month     amount
In the SORT table, in the sorting condition by MONTH you specify SUBTOTAL = 'X'. So the output will be:
acc no acc. name    month     amount
123123        John      2            100.00
123124        Paul      2            200.00
Month 2                                300.00
123123        John      3            300.00
123124        Paul      3            400.00
123125        Jane      3            100.00
Month 3                                 800.00
123123        John      4            123.54
Month   4                                123.54
Total                                      1223.54
You can change the subtotal text for a more adequate one (if you want). Also if you only need the subtotals you can specify in the layout that only those lines are to be output.
I hope I've helped, I you have any question let me know!
Regards,
Pablo

ALV performance with large number of columns

Dear friends,
I have created an ALV grid which has approximately 225 fields in it using Classes an not REUSE fms..
After the ALV grid is first displayed if the user scrolls down to the next page it takes significant time to display the data in the next page.. The documentation says that the ALV grid only caches the data upon display (After first display of a page and before the ALV grid data is refreshed it works fine).
Is there any mechanism of caching the entire ALV grid data before/after the method set_table for_first_display is called??
Helpful answers will be appropriately rewarded..
Cheers
Nitesh

We're actually doing some TableView performance work right now, I wonder if you could file an issue with a simple reproducible test case? I haven't seen the same data you have here in our profiles (nearly all time is spent on reapplying CSS) so I would be interested in your exact test to be able to profile it and see what is going on.
Thanks

PLSQL-generated SQL report with variable number of columns

I created an app to track college football bowl picks:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=21723
The main report region includes columns for the various games as well as a column for each participant. In order not to hard code the number of participants, I used PLSQL to generate the SQL so that new columns could be added on the fly.
However, whenever I add a new user I get this result -
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
If I copy and paste the PLSQL into a new report region and then delete the old one, however, all is well.
Is there something I can do to overcome this?
Thanks.

SAP-Script - Draw Table (Boxes) with variable number of lines

Hello,
I want to create a Table with Frames in a SAP-Script Form. First of all I don´t know the position of the table in the window main. It can be page 2 or 3 on top or in the middle. But i have to describe a position like
POSITION YORIGIN '12.95' CM. How can i position the table in a variable way?
And i don´t know the number of lines of the table. How can I manage to draw the correct numbers of boxes as numbers of lines exist?
Kind Regards
Carsten Fuchs

Hi carsten,
1. Drawing GRID (just like excel, matrix)
   is very cumbersome in sapscript layout.
(either dynamically, or hardcoded)
2. Moreover, the final look,
   may or maynot appear as requried,.
ie. exactly with proper alignment and grid lines.
3. If the font size is required to change,
then the dynamic position also changes.
4. If the grid is supposed to go to the next page,
again the calculation and logic becomes tougher.
5. To use grid, its better to use smartform,
   which provided FINE CONTROL of the grid
and its lines and width, height, style etc.
6. In sapsctip, at most we can use
   UNDERLINE (_) and PIPE (|)
regards,
amit m.
