Get layout variant created in ALV in WDA

Dear all,
I created some layout variant in my ALV table in my WD abap
I need to create an abap report to send the ALV table by mail, and I need to retrieve the layout variant created on the WD and use it in my abap report.
I found the table WDY_CONF_USER and WDY_CONF_USERT but I don't know where are stored the details of the columns of the variant.
These 2 tables are not available by SE16 or SM30.
Do you know if I can use some method of class or something else ?
Thanks for your quick help.

Hi,
Before the call to method set_table_for_first_display, populate
wa_variant-report = sy-repid.

Delete layout variant in the ALV

Does anyone know how to delete the function 'layout variant' int the ALV of the ABAP web dynpro?
So the pulldown menu won't be visible on the header of the ALV screen?

I found the answer in the model class of the ALV

Reg. copying Layout Variants from 1 ALV pgm to another

Hi Friends,
I am currently copying an ALV program Ztest1 to ztest2 through ztest5. While doing so I want the LAYOUT variants that are available for ztest1 also to be copied to these other programs.
All I am aware is that the table LTDX stores all the layout variants for a particular program.
Could anybody provide me the right inputs on this.
Thanks in Advance.
Rgrds,
Gayathri N.

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.

Problem with same layout (variant) for two ALV Grid and ALV Tree

Hello!
I have two docking containers on the screen. On the left i have cl_gui_alv_tree, on the right cl_salv_table.
When a user set a default layout for ALV Grid (or ALV Tree), raport starts and sets this layout in both objects (tree and grid).
How to avoid this?

Hi,
Take Two radio buttons.
First radion button display the two containers in grid format,
second radio button display the two containers in tree format base on user selection.
CREATE OBJECT G_DOCING_CONTAINER
    EXPORTING PARENT = G_CUSTOM_CONTAINER."G_CONTAINER.
DISPLAY THE DATA IN GRID FORMATA
CREATE OBJECT r_grid
    EXPORTING
      i_parent          = G_DOCING_CONTAINER
CALL METHOD g_docing_container->set_width
      EXPORTING
        width      = 1300.
DISPLAY THE GRID DATA IN SECOND CONTAINER
CREATE OBJECT r_grid1
    EXPORTING
      i_parent          = G_DOCING_CONTAINER
CALL METHOD g_docing_container->set_width
      EXPORTING
        width      = 1300.
OTHERWISE WE CAN DISPLAY THE TWO CONTAINERS DATA IN A GRID FORMAT
CREATE OBJECT g_tree
    EXPORTING
      parent                = g_docing_container"g_custom_container
IF R1 = 'X'. "FOR GRID DISPLAY
CALL METHOD r_grid1->set_table_for_first_display
CALL METHOD r_grid2->set_table_for_first_display
ELSE.

Layout Variant Locked

Hi all.
When I create a variant for a layout (ALV) the user-specific flag is locked.
How can I unlock this flag for deselect it?
All layout that I create are like user-specific.
Thanks (Obrigado).
<b>Pedro</b>

Hi Pedro,
If you use reports that internally are based on the function module HR_DISPLAY_BASIC_LIST or DISPLAY_BASIC_LIST and you want to create a user independent layout variant for the ALV output, the check box 'user specific' in the dialog is always checked and not changeable.What support pack level your on? you hve to increase the patch level.l refer note 336054 for further info.
Cheers,

How to get layout name of ALV in Webdynpro

Hi experts,
Here's the problem I'm facing.
In webdynpro ALV setting, user create a personal layout and save it. When changing the layout from 'Standard view' to the new layout. The column (dropdown list of ALV table ) display as the key, acturally it was displayed as description originally. Could you help to solve this problem.
Or could you tell me what the method of class to get the layout variant. Then I'll add logic in the 'WDDOMODIFYVIEW' of view.
Thanks a lot advance.
Best Regards,
Wang

HI
if you are making any change in the layout and saving it it changes to key .
is it happening like that.
if yes i guess soemthing is wrong in the logic for creating dropdown cell editor.
here is the code that i am writing for uding dropdown and no matter what i do it always displays descriptions instead of key

Unable to save the ALV layout variant and display of selection screen on F4

I am not sure whats going wrong, but I am unable to save variants.
Please help.
Thanks,
Vishal.

The F4 will display you the existing layouts only. So you need to save the layout first & then execute the report again & check if you are getting F4 values for that field.
The Layout needs to get stored with variant.

Issue in setting layout variant in ALV tables

Hi,
I have 2 ALV’s displaying in a view, 1’st is a header data & 2’nd Item data.
Based on the row selection in the Header ALV, the data is determined and displayed in the 2’nd ALV i.e., the Item data.
Now the 2’nd ALV (Item data) can contain 20 columns so based on certain requirement I want to save a layout variant with only 10 Columns for display in the 2’nd ALV.
But the issue what is happening is once I change my row selection in the 1’st ALV (Header data) the layout in the second ALV is refreshing back to the 20 fields EVEN though the name of the variant layout still displays the one I saved earlier.
I have searched the SCN for this issue and found http://scn.sap.com/thread/1986147, but it does NOT work.
Could anyone please suggest a solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Divaker

ALV Layout Variant Issue

Hi Gurus,
In my ALV report there are two Layout variants.
a) Default Layout - /DEFAULT created by someone else earlier.
b) User specific - created and saved by me (name CS Layout)
I am using this function module
alv_variant-report = sy-repid.
alv_variant-username = sy-uname.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'
    EXPORTING
      i_save     = 'U'
    CHANGING
      cs_variant = xalv_variant
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found = 2.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    p_vari = xalv_variant-variant.
ENDIF.
PROBLEM: Even though I am passing user specific information to this FM, but it is returning me the Default layout, but
I want the user specific layout(CS Layout) which I created and saved.
Please help !

You are not populating any value to the variable xalv_variant,again you are passing it again to p_vari.
Check this link once.

ALV unwanted data from old layout variant

All,
We are using 6.0 and have a customized report that uses ALV.   I have a layout variant I use that contains the field PRICE.   We want to exclude PRICE from this report and the developers have made the code changes.   However, when I execute the report with the old variant the PRICE field appears (in the header and the data).   When I use a variant created after the code change the PRICE field does not appear.
What needs to be done to eliminate the PRICE from ever showing up when I use the old layout variant?
Thanks
Sandra

Thank you for your responses.   They were both very helpful.   As I dug into this further, I understand now from my abap developer that to make the code changes per Surendar's e-mail would require a significant amount of code changes in this specific case. He tried to explain that to me earlier and I didn't understand. Because we are looking to eliminate this report soon we do not want to make that investment of time.
Thank you again for your quick and very helpful responses.
Sandra
