ALV Program errors

Question

Hello all,
   I've have a strange error, when trying to use buttons from top of an ALV list(eg. print). An error message appear with text "Program errors", but only when one button is used, in rest the list is ok.
  Do you have an ideea why?
  Thank you!

  Here is the code, if is helping:
  IF g_cont_alv2 IS INITIAL.
      CREATE OBJECT g_cont_alv2
             EXPORTING container_name = 'G_CONT_ALV2'.
    CREATE OBJECT g_grid2
           EXPORTING i_parent = g_cont_alv2.
  ENDIF.
  l_layout-cwidth_opt = 'X'.
  l_layout-sel_mode = 'D'.
  l_layout-totals_bef = 'X'.
  CALL METHOD g_grid2->set_table_for_first_display
       EXPORTING is_variant = l_variant
                 i_save = 'A'
                 i_default = 'X'
                 is_layout = l_layout
                it_toolbar_excluding = lt_exclude
       CHANGING it_outtab = lt_stats
                it_fieldcatalog = lt_fcat.
  LEAVE TO SCREEN 200.

Hi,
It seems your data table <b>lt_stats</b> is a local internal table declared inside a subroutine and not a global internal table declared in TOP include or if it is a report then at the top.
Normally ALV Grid stores a reference of the internal table for accessing it later (in your case, for printing). If it is a local internal table then ALV will not be access it and hence the error message.
So try declaring your <b>lt_stats</b> table in the TOP include (for modulepools or function groups) or at the top (if it is a report).
<b>Did you try this out?</b> <b>You need to declare your internal table at GLOBAL level.</b>
Hope this helps..
