Change Column content of ALV Variant

Hi,
I need to add a field in an existing variant for the layout of an ALV report. What I did was to add a field in a structure using Append Structure. The text that I first entered was wrong (field label of the data type of the field). Now, when I run the ALV Report, then when I choose to add a hidden field in the variant(setting>display variant>Current...), the wrong text is appearing even if I've already modified the field label of the data type.
Do I need to adjust something in order for the "Column Content" of the variant to be displayed properly?

After you made the change to the ALV catalog, try to re-create the variant again.
Thanks & regards,
Hadiman

  • How to Change Column header in ALV List

    hello,
    is there a way to change the column header/label of an ALV list other than inheriting it from the source table it is bound to?
    thanks,
    sid

    Yes, you can.  If you are using a field catalog, you can change the field labels in your program.
    For example.
      data: fc_tmp type slis_fieldcat_alv .
      clear: fieldcat. refresh: fieldcat.
      clear: fc_tmp.
    <b>  fc_tmp-reptext_ddic    = 'Material Number'.</b>
      fc_tmp-fieldname  = 'MATNR'.
      fc_tmp-tabname   = 'IMARA'.
      fc_tmp-outputlen  = '18'.
      fc_tmp-col_pos    = 2.
      append fc_tmp to fieldcat.
    If you are using the MERGE funciton module to get your field catalog, then you just need to loop thru it and change the field which is holding the description, then modify the line of the field catalog.

  • Problem with the order of the columns of a ALV

    I have a problem with a ALV, variants we keep this ALV does not record the order of the columns
    Thank you

    I suppose you want to change the sequence of columns of a ALV. If you can change it by clicking 'settings' of right-top corner of ALV. After done you can save the new settings into a new. If you find some abnormal behaviour, please check the settings by WDA component "wd_analyze_config_user".
    FYI.

  • Copying ALV variants/layouts between programs

    Hi guys,
    Does anyone know how to copy ALV layouts between programs in the same client?  I have created a copy of a report which uses the ALV functionality via the REUSE_* function modules.  The original report has over 40 layouts, so I don't want to have to re-create them manually in the new program.  These programs are in the same client on the  same system, so the Import Layout and Transport Layout options aren't going to be of any use (as far as I can see...)
    Any ideas greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Andrew

    I took this approach and it worked for me:
    1) Change your program so that everytime an ALV function is called it is using the original program name in the variant declaration, ensure you keep the original code commented out, you will need to put it back later. Examples:
    FORM variant_init USING varname TYPE slis_vari.
    CLEAR g_variant.
    g_variant-report = g_repid.
    g_variant-report = 'ORIGINAL_PROGRAM_NAME'.
    FORM f4_for_variant.
    g_variant-report = sy-repid.
    g_variant-report = ‘ORIGINAL_PROGRAM_NAME’.
    CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4'
    FORM check_variant.
    IF NOT p_vari IS INITIAL.
    g_variant-report = sy-repid.
    g_variant-report = ‘ORIGINAL_PROGRAM_NAME’.
    g_variant-variant = p_vari.
    CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE'
    2) Display function lt_variant_save via SE37, set a breakpoint at the first executable line:
    perform variant_save tables it_fieldcat
    4) Run your program with the layout variant you wish to copy.
    5) Hit Save Variant. You are now in debug mode.
    6) Enter variable CS_VARIANT-REPORT in the variables 1 panel.
    7) Double-click on CS_VARIANT-REPORT.
    8) Hit the Change Field Content button
    9) Change the value to the name of your new program, then hit Enter.
    10) Hit Execute (F8). You have now saved the variant under your new program name.
    11) Exit and rerun your program as necessary for as many variants as you want to copy
    12) Change your program back to using sy-repid (or whatever else it was referencing) wherever you changed it in step 1.
    13) The variants have now been copied and you can run your program with the new variants.
