Default values in ALV

When i add a new row in ALV in webdynpro, i need some columns to have some default values. I am using the standard functionality of ALV in webdynpro to append rows (that is by setting the set_editable property to abap_true). Could someone tell how i can achieve this.
regards,
Priyank

Hi Juan,
thanks for the reply,
What i need is slightly different. When i append new rows, the new row should have default values based on the last row in the grid. For example, there are start dates and end dates in the grid, for the new row, the start date should be one day after the end date in the preceding row. Could you tell me how i can achieve this.
regards,
Priyank

  • Validations and default Values in ALV Grid

    All,
    I am using "set_table_for_first_display" to display a grid with empty editable rows wherein which users can enter data and process certain transactions.
    My requirement is to know if we can provide drop-downs and default values in this grid. for ex. if user want to insert a row, that row should automatically have some default values like company code, sales org etc.
    Also, if there is an error while validating the data, I should be able to set the focus on that field while displaying the error message. I was able to display error message but could not set the focus on the field that need to be corrected.
    Your earlier response is much appreciated.

  • ALV - default values in standard screen

    Hi,
    In CLM1 transaction, on cost tab there is ALV Grid control for data entry purpose. My requirement is to add some default values in ALV grid fields. Can any body tell me how to do it without modifying the standard object?
    Usefull answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks,

    Hi Sal,
    in CLM1 transaction on cost tab I can see 4 input fields for estimated, required and accepted cost and the currency.
    Where do you see an ALV Grid?
    BTW: It is not possible to save any input values in an ALV layout. Only appearence as sorting, filtering and columns positioning can be saved in ALV layout variant.

    Pradeep,
    When ur doing the CHECK_CHANGED_DATA, u ll get the edited values inside this callback sub -routine only. so here u trap the values those are changed ( thats after editing).
    Once the control goes back to the original program ( calling prog ) , u ll end up with ur old data ( before editing).
    you ll have to handle that explictly in your code, or shift to OO alv grid like this -

  • Change default variant in ALV grid on runtime

    Hello colleagues,
    where is the place in a code (CL_ALV_VARIANT, CL_GUI_ALV_GRID, ...) where I can change the deault layout. Customer require a modification which change default layout in ALV under specific circumstances.
    Kind regards
    Radim Benek

    It depend when these "specific circumstances" are occurring?
    Before displaying the ALV, then force the value of the variant used in set_table_for_first_display,
    CALL METHOD GRID1->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
      EXPORTING
        I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT'
        IS_VARIANT = GS_variant
        I_SAVE = X_SAVE
      CHANGING
        IT_OUTTAB = GT_SFLIGHT.
    If you want to simulate multiple "default variant" you should "mislead" the ALV by changing the report name used for storing variant (IS_VARIANT-REPORT) But in this case you will no longuer see every variant  when in the ALV, only those of the "report name" passed when setting for first display.

    Use this in Interactive section even if you are doing simple ALV.
    DATA:

    Kindly check the Field proerties in query designer and ensure that Text is enabled ather than Key.
    __Field property check up:__Go to query designer->click onn the field-> Right hand side in properties click on display tab-> select Text in drop down menu of Display as tab.

  • Assigning a default value to a field

    Hello Everyone,
           Could you please tell me how to assign a default value to a field in a transparent table, so that while creating an entry even if we don't enter the value, a default value will be assigned.
    Thanks,
    Anbu.

    Like this
    DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
            field1 TYPE c VALUE 'X'
            field2 TYPE c,
          END OF itab.
    append itab.
    append itab.
    You will have by default X set in both rows for field1.
    Regards
    Marcin
    PS: Ooops I just noticed you meant transparent table but I wrote about internal one. As long as you maintain that table using maintenance view you can use event 05 - When Creating a New Entry and set fixed value for a field there. So whenever you create new entry it will receive that value.

  • SQLLDR - how to set a default value for an empty string

    I'm using SQLLDR to load data from a flat file on Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4 EE, Linux RHEL 4 update 6. Seems like my question is simple, but darned if I can't find the solution.
    My source file (comma delimited extracted form a different RDBMS) has some (not all) rows where the output for a string is "", and not NULL. How do I check for empty string and add a default value in the control file? The target column is non-nullable
    Here's my current control file - however, the column attributeName where sometimes the source record is "" does not get evaluated as NULL.
    load data
    infile 'mydata.del'
    badfile 'mydata.bad'
    discardfile 'mydata.dsc'
    into table mydata
    fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'

    (l_metadata,
    company,
    className,
    attributeName "decode(:vc_attributeName,null, 'none')",
    attributeDefault)

    When I tried decode with "", I received the following error:
    {code}SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 11.
    Expecting "," or ")", found ", 'none')".
    attributeName "decode(:vc_attributeName,"", 'none')", {code}
    This does not work either:
    {code}
    load data
    infile 'mydata.del'
    badfile 'mydata.bad'
    discardfile 'mydata.dsc'
    into table mydata

    (l_metadata,

  • Multiple Default Values in a Multi-Select LOV Parameter?

    Hi,
    I have a report in BI Publisher standalone version 10.1.3.4. The report has a list of values called org_lov. This lov is attached to a multi-selection p_org_code parameter from which it is desirable to also have multiple default values.
    For example, if org_lov has the following values:
    100
    101
    102
    103
    104
    105
    106
    I would like to have 3 default values and have 100, 101,105 as the defaults if the user doesn't specifically select anything from the LOV. So far my testing has only allowed a single default value.
    Here are my settings:
    Data type = string
    Multiple Selection = checked
    Can select All = checked (all values passed)
    On the Default Value field, I have tried the following:
    1. 100, 101,105
    2. [100, 101,105]
    3. '100', '101','105'
    4. (100, 101,105)
    5. ['100', '101','105']
    6. ('100', '101','105')
    I don't need these default values highlighted in the LOV, I just need it passed correctly to the query (a data template).
    Thank you in advance for any input.

    Hi,
    Sorry for the delayed reply. I tried what you suggested but the problem is that by having the "Multiple Selection" property of the parameter unchecked, the result is that it allows the user to only have a single value passed. The user wants the option to select multiple values AND also have the multiple default values.
    Thanks anyway.
