Hi Ritwik,
Each table colums has a 'Cell editor' which identifies the type of the column. i.e. text view or input field or cheeck box ect.
If you want to enable/disable a table column, then in the table column, click on its cell editor and go to its propertys tab.Here we have
Properties (TextView)     
ID     TBL_FLIGHTS_AIRLINEID_EDITOR
design     standard
enabled     1
hAlign     auto
layout     native
semanticColor     standard
text     SEARCH_VIEW.FLIGHT_LIST.AIRLINEID
textDirection     inherit
tooltip     
visible     Visible
wrapping     0
These properties can be set statically or can also be maintained dynamically by binding these properties to a context attribute and change the value at based on the conditions.
To do this create a context node say 'UI_PROPERTIES', Create an attribute in it say 'ENABLED' of tye wdy_boolean (X, ' ').
Go to the table column cell editor click on the button against the enabled button, from the F4, navigate to the context node 'UI_PROPERTIES' --> 'ENABLED'  Attribute. Select it and OK.
A green icon is displayed on the button indicating that binding is maintained.
Now if you want to enable/disable the table column then do a set_attribute of 'ENABLED' field as X, Space for enabled, disabled respectively.
If you want to make few columns invisible at runtime then this can be achieved as mentioned above. Create another attribute say VISIBILITY type WDUI_VISIBILITY.
Bind this attribute to the visibility property of the TABLE COLUMN. (Go to properties tab of Table Column).
Set 01, 02 for Invisible, Visible respectively.
Hope this helps.
