Changing Content of a Column in ALV

Hello All,
I just found an approach to solve some of the question posted before but stucked on something else-
I have an ALV using OOP approach. I have a number of buttons that when clicked -a specific event should take place. One is changes to INCOTERM-
        If Incotern button is clicked, I called CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_GET_VALUES' to change the value
       Then called BDC which has the changes in I_BDCDATA.
       My question is how to use Call transaction method to update the changes in the ALV column from the value in the I_BDCDATA before refreshing the table which activates the changes on the ALV report
Thanks

Changing header text of column in ALV

Hello. I'm trying to change header of a column in WD ALV using this code:
lr_col = lo_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'DESCRIPTION' ).
lr_header = lr_col->get_header( ).
lr_header->set_text( EXPORTING value = 'My perfect text' ).
But it doesn't work. Where was I wrong?

Hi..
Add the following code after set_text
lr_header->set_prop_ddic_binding_field( ).
this will clear the binding of dataelement text with the column..

Changing contents of Report column

Hi,
I am trying to implement basic edit-in-place feature in my report. The way it should work is that when user clicks on any column, the column becomes editable and user then is allowed to changed the text. When the user is done, he clicks on save to save the changes. The changes are then saved to database using AJAX calls and the change is reflected on the page also.
I am able to save the changes to database. but I am not able to change the text in the report column.
The way I am doing it is as follows:
each column in the report is of the form:
< td >< div onclick="somescript" > text < /div > < input type="text" > < /input> < /td >
I toggle the visibility of the div and input tags based on user click.
when user clicks on a column, <div> is hidden and <input> is shown. user changes the text and clicks save. At this time, AJAX calls are made to update the database and <input> is hidden and <div> is shown again.
But before <div> is made visible, I need to change the original text to the new value. Is there any way this text can be changed?
You can see the short example at:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=22112:19:152048373623770:::::
I have put some alerts for debugging purposes. Please click "OK" each time to continue.

Hello Ketan,
Please check the following steps . Hope this would help you.
You have to follow the following steps :
1.Create a report , which is updatable.
You can change the report type to SQL Query Updatable report.
2.Go to the report attributes , then click on the edit link of the filed.
3. Make the field 'Display as Text Field '
Report part is done.
In this report region, create two buttons with labels
1) update
2) add row
update you can use to apply changes.
let me explain about add row.
create a process which is of type 'Data Manipulation'.
Make this process run conditional : Say only when add row button is clicked.
Now run the page , the report would display if the query is like
'SELECT id FROM emp'
it would list the ids which exist.
if you press on add row button, one more text box will be added and you can enter some id /data there and press on update ( you have to write process for update ), table would contain the latest data.
This is not exactly what you require.
Here I have used 'ADD ROW ' button to add one text box. and you can add some text there and press update ( you need to create a update process for that particular table )
Your query was based on some link. I think you can change my code as per your requireement.
Any queries , please let me know.

Changing cells of a column in ALV

Hello,
I have an ALV table where the 1st column is an checkbox. Now I want to disable the checkbox in some rows. When there is the string 'GARANTY' in the next field I would like the checkbox to disappear.
thankx and regards
stefan

Hi Stefan,
In your context node, add an attribute 'checkbox_enabled' of type char01. I presume you know how to make the cell editor of your ALV as a checkbox. Use the following code to bind the 'enabled' property of the checkbox to the context attribute.
data: lr_checkbox type ref to cl_salv_wd_uie_checkbox.
initialize checkbox*
lr_checkbox->set_enabled_fieldname( 'checkbox_enabled' ).
*set checkbox as cell editor *
In the method where you populate the internal table, loop through the internal table and set this field. Depending on the value in the field checkbox_enabled, the checkbox will either be greyed out or be enabled. Sample code would be:
loop at itab into wa.
if <fieldname> EQ 'GARANTY'.
wa-checkbox_enabled = abap_false.
else.
wa-checkbox_enabled = abap_true.
endif.
modify itab from wa.
endloop.
Have the checkbox_enabled attribute in the same node that you bind to the ALV table. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Nithya

Loosing changed contents when used FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY

Hi,
I have used FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY in my program as below.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
      i_callback_program       = g_repid

    TABLES
      t_outtab                 = ist_outtab.
and kept one column editable by setting EDIT = 'X' and INPUT = 'X' for one column in ist_fieldcat.
Now if user changes contents of a cell in this editable column and clicks on any toolbar button, then changed contetns are not received in USER_COMMAND routine.
But if user changes the contents of a cell in this editable column and then double-clicks anywhere inside the ALV grid, then changed contents are received in USER_COMMAND routine.
I dont want to loose the changed contents of ALV grid, can anybody help in this.
Thanks in advance.

Dhiraj

In your USER_COMMAND form check the SY-UCOMM for button which you have pressed may be you have used '&IC1' (for double click)
provide your Form USER_COMMAND code here.

in the fieldcatalog you are providing there is a field NO_OUT use this.
Loop over internal table and check fieldname. If fieldname = column you want to hide, NO_OUT = 'X'.

Maximum number of character we can print in a column uing ALV grid display

Hi frnds,
My requirment is to print 500 charcter data in a column using ALV grid display.
Could any body tell me is it possible and the maximum character it can i print in a column using ALV grid dispaly.
Regards,
Sandipan

Hi Sandipan,
refer notes 857823, 910300 and 959775. All these say there is a limitation of 128 characters.
857823 - ALV grid: Strings with a maximum of 128 characters
Symptom
Entries in cells of the type CHAR or string are truncated after 128
characters in the SAP GUI.
also refer,
ALV Grid Control (cl_gui_alv_grid), function module (Full-screen) Grid
(Reuse_alv_grid_display, SAPLSLVC_FULLSCREEN), SAPGUI, back end, front end
Cause and Prerequisites
The data table that is sent to the front end only allows character values
with the length 128.
Solution
This is the standard system behavior and cannot be changed.

Reg no of columns in alv

Hi,
Am displaying 113 columns in alv, when i export to excelsheet only 99 columns are exported remaining are not exported. plz tell how to export all the columns.
tanks,
vino.

Hi Vino,
The process for downloading into excel with correct columns can be done in many ways
I suggest you to read the following and then go about for a trial and error and in case you find difficulty revert back
After generating a report, it is possible to export it into Microsoft Excel and/or Microsoft Word using three different options. Each of these options saves the file in a slightly different format. Before using any of these options, you have to set the macro security in your Office products to medium.
Within your Office program, follow the menu path Tools > Macro > Security. Select the Medium security setting. Then click the Trusted Sources tab and ensure all the check boxes are selected. Click OK to save the changes. For the best results, ensure your Office program is closed before performing any of the following actions.
Save to Local File
Using this export option will retain all of the formatting that you may have done to the report in SAP, such
as moving columns, setting filters and sorts, etc., but will not retain any of the color or font formatting in
SAP, unless you choose the HTML option.
1. Click (Local file). The Save list in file... box will open.
2. Choose the desired file type in which to save the file.
u2022 unconverted - tab-delimited file not associated with a program
u2022 Spreadsheet - Microsoft Excel file
u2022 Rich text format - Microsoft Word file
u2022 HTML format - HTML file. This option adds some formatting, which will make it display
similiar to the report in SAP.
3. Click (Continue). The Transfer DAT to a Local File box will open.
4. The default location in which to save the file is your "SAPWorkDir" folder. Click (Search) to
choose another location.
5. Enter your file name at the end of the path and use the proper extension associated with the file
type you chose in step 2.
u2022 unconverted - none
u2022 Spreadsheet - .xls
u2022 Rich text format - .rtf
u2022 HTML format - .html
6. Click . The message "XXX Bytes transferred" will display, indicating that your file was
successful exported.
Exporting to Microsoft Excel
Using this export option will not retain any of the formatting that you applied in SAP, such as moving
columns, setting filters and sorts, etc. However, it does add a colored background and heading and
retains the proper column width.
1. Click (Spreadsheet...). An Information box will open advising you that any formatting you have
applied in SAP will not be exported with the data.
2. Click (Continue). The Export list object to XXL box will open.
3. Choose Table and click (Continue).
4. Click (Continue) again.
5. Excel will open with the report displayed. You can now format the report and save it as necessary.
6. In SAP, an Information box opens stating that you should save the data in the spreadsheet. As
soon as you click (Continue), the report in Excel closes, so be sure you have saved it if
necessary before doing so.
Opening Microsoft Excel within SAP
This export option will actually open Microsoft Excel within SAP, allowing you to use any of the formatting
or calculation features available in Excel along with the SAP tools. However, modifying the data in the
Excel spreadsheet within SAP will not change the actual data in SAP itself.
1. Click (Change layout...). The Change layout box will open.
2. Click the View tab.
3. Choose the Excel option.
4. Click on sap_om.xls in the Template list that displays on the right side of the box.
5. Click (Transfer).
6. Microsoft Excel will open in the window where the report data was displayed. You can now use all
of the options within Microsoft Excel and SAP to format and manipulate the data as necessary.
7. To save the file, follow the Excel menu path File > Save Copy As.
8. To close Excel, click (Change layout...), click the View tab, choose the Grid option, and click
(Transfer).
Exporting to Microsoft Word
Using this option will not retain any of the formatting that you applied in SAP, such as moving columns,
setting filters and sorts, etc., and it will export the data in a table within Word.
1. Click (Word Processing...). The Word Processor Settings box will open.
2. Choose the Create Document option and select Include Colors and/or Start MS Word if desired.
3. Click (Continue). The Transfer RTF to a Local File box will open.
4. The default location in which to save the file is your "SAPWorkDir" folder. Click (Search) to
choose another location.
5. Enter the file name at the end of the path and add the extension .rtf.
6. Click .
7. If you chose the option to have Word open, it will now open with the data displayed.
Thanks in advance

Add another column under sub total column in alv

hi guys,
is there any way i can add a new column under sub total column in alv function and have my own calculation for it

Hi Radha,
I doubt if that can be changed....because the event that i was referring to in my previous post works with ALV List display...But in any case you can try that.....
There is an event in SLIS....(As i told you, i dont remember the name and currently i dont have access to SAP system, so i am not able to verify and let you know that event name).....
Other thatn TOP and END of PAGE events, there is an event for sub-total text......i think it would start with "SUBTOTAL"...
you need to use that event in your events table and pass it to ALV Grid display.
Then create a sub-routine with that name (As you do for TOP-OF-PAGE event)....and in this event you can change the values in runtime (PROVIDED, this event gets triggered for ALV GRID).....
If this does not work, i think calculating sub-totals while you build the internal table would be a better option....(If you have time constraint....else you can do some more research on the same)........
Best Regards,
Ram.

How to resize the column of alv depending upon the textbox settings in i.e

Hi,
I am using ALV component in one of my WD applications. ALV has a column date. If i resize the textbox from the internet explorer setting ( page->textsize in i.e.7) to anything greater than medium, the content of the columns is hidden.
For example, if the date is displayed as 25/07/2010, after resizing it appears as 25/07...
i have tried using column property of the alv : set_width and set_resizable, but it doesnt give the desired output.
Please give ur suggestions.
Regards,
Varuna

Hi,
Would increasing the width of ALV itself help?
using IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_SETTINGS~SET_WIDTH().

Sharepoint 2013 changing the width of columns in a list

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to change the width of columns in a custom list in sharepoint 2013. I have tried to load it in Sharepoint Designer 2010, but it will not allow me. Therefore, I can only use SPD 2013.
Thanks

Hi Jemelia,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the width of a column in a custom list in SharePoint 2013.
Per my test, if we edit the AllItem view of the list in SharePoint Designer 2013, we cannot get the design tab to customize the XSLT of the list and change the width of the column.
I recommend to create a new page, and then add a data view web part of the corresponding list to the page. After that, we can get the design tab to customize the XSLT of the list.
Here are the detailed steps:
In the newly created page with the added data view web part of the list, select the data view web part and then click on “Customize XSLT” > “Customize Entire View” on design tab in the menu.
Search for the fieldname for example in my case “Column” then you will get template like “dvt_headerfield. Column”. In this template there is a attribute name like <xsl:attribute name="style">
in this just add the width size like following.
<xsl:attribute name="style">padding:0 !important;border:0 !important; width: 600px</xsl:attribute>
  3. Search for the template “FieldRef_printTableCell_EcbAllowed.Column”. In this template you will see “<td>” and you can add style to change its width like following.
<td style=" width:300px">
We can also use jquery to change the width of the column in SharePoint 2013:
      1. Create a txt file containing the code below:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.2.6/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("TH.ms-vh2:contains('Title')").css("width", "300px"); //You can change the column to be the column you want to change the width, Title in the code for example.
</script>
       2. Upload the txt file to a library in SharePoint.
       3. Add a Content Editor in the page where the list exists, and then edit the web part.
       4. In Content Link, type in the URL of the txt file in SharePoint, like
http://server/site/library/file.txt.
Best regards.
Thanks

Unable to change content types for pptx, xslx and docx files

I'm running into an issue where I cannot change the content type of any xml-based Office documents. Here's what I've done:
1 - Create a custom content (A) type based off the Document content type
2 - Enable the custom content type in a document library
3 - Add a document or select an existing document and edit the content type to the custom content type
4 - The custom content type will save for documents such as .ppt, .doc, etc. The custom content type will now save for .docx, .pptx or .xlsx files. The properties window will save without displaying any errors but the content type will not change
I ran several tests including creating another custom content type (B) based off of the Document content type. I proved that:
The custom content type (B) can be saved to .docx, .pptx or .xlsx files IF no additional columns are added to the custom content type
As soon as I add a column to the custom content type the aforementioned documents cannot be saved as that custom content type
Documents created through the File option in a document library also fail to change content type to the custom content type when saved. Most of my files are .docx, .pptx, or .xlsx files, and this issue poses a significant roadblock in our SharePoint roll-out.
I appreciate any advise you can provide.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the custom content type could not save with .docx, pptx and xlsx files when with a additional column.
I tested with your issue as the steps below, the custom content type worked well.
Create a custom column Doc1
Create a custom content type Doc1, the parent content type from chose the Document Content Types, Parent Content Type chose Document.
Add the custom Doc1 to the custom content type Doc1.
Add the custom content type into the library LIbA.
Upload the files with .docx, .pptx and .xlsx files into the library with the custom content type, they all save well with the custom content type.
I also create other content type with other Parent Content Type, they all worked.
Did the issue occur in other library? You can create a new library then use the custom content type to check whether it works.
You can also use the other browsers to check whether it works, such as Chrome, Firefox.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason

Upgrade SharePoint Content Types / Site Columns declaratively in SharePoint hosted apps

Hi!
I have a question where I was unable to find any official guidance for. I have created a SharePoint hosted APP where I have multiple site columns and content types (declared in XML). The APP installs and functions just fine.
Now I have a requirement to change a site column (Choice field, just add some more choice values). I was able to update the site column but the changes will not be reflected on the list column (I think because there no way to push the changes).
So is there an "official" way of changing site columns?
Any help is appreciated!
Thx!

How to: Update app web components in SharePoint 2013 :
We do not support changing the data type of a list or content type field (column) after its initial deployment in any
circumstance. In particular, do not change the data type of a field as part of an app update (not
even programmatically). As an alternative, you can add a new field. If the app includes custom item create, edit,
or view forms; be sure to make corresponding changes in these forms. For example, add UI for the new field and remove UI for the old one. (In a provider-hosted app, you can programmatically move data from the old field to the new one and then delete the old.
