Displaying a ticked check box in ALV

Question

Hi,
    I have an ALV report where i am populating it through data from the table. In the table there is a field where the value can be either 'X' or ' ' (space). My requiremnt is, in the ALV list display, whereever there is a 'X' in the database field, it should display in the ALV output as a  <b><u>TICKED</u></b> checkbox.
             How do I go about the same ? Points surely be awarded.
                         thanks,
                                  Dev

Answer 1

SET THE 'checkbox' attribute of the field catalog entry for the field you are talking about to 'X'.
I usually use this form to achieve it:
output already extracted field as a checkbox
  PERFORM set_fieldcat_attribute
              USING
                 'T_headers'
                 'already_extracted'
                 'checkbox'
                 'X'
                 gt_fieldcat.
*&      Form  SET_fieldCAT_attribute
      sets a fieldcat attribute, e.g. hides a field in ALV output
     -->pv_table     table name
     -->pv_field     field name
     -->pv_attrib    name of attribute to be changed
     -->pv_newval    new value to be put in attribute
     -->pt_fieldcat  field catlog
FORM set_fieldcat_attribute
USING    pv_table TYPE tabname
          pv_field TYPE fieldname
          pv_attrib
          pv_newval
          pt_fieldcat TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <attrib>,
   <fieldcat> TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv.
  TRANSLATE pv_table TO UPPER CASE.
  TRANSLATE pv_field TO UPPER CASE.
  READ TABLE pt_fieldcat ASSIGNING <fieldcat>
   WITH KEY fieldname = pv_field tabname = pv_table.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    CONCATENATE '<FIELDCAT>-' pv_attrib INTO g_field_name.
    ASSIGN (g_field_name) TO <attrib>.
    <attrib> = pv_newval.
  ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                    " set_fieldcat_attribute
