How to fetch the data & display the data if fields got the same name in alv

hi frnds, i need ur help.
how to fetch the data & display the data if fields got the same name in alv grid format.

Refer the url :
http://abapexpert.blogspot.com/2007/07/sap-list-viewer-alv.html
Go thru the guide for OOPs based ALV.
Use SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY to display the table:
CALL METHOD grid->set_table_for_first_display
EXPORTING
I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT' Structure data
CHANGING
IT_OUTTAB = gt_sflight. Output table
You can also implement
Full Screen ALV, its quite easy. Just pass the output table to FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
For controlling and implementing the FS-ALV we have to concentrate on few of the components as follows :
1. Selection of data.
2. Prepare Layout of display list.
3. Event handling.
4. Export all the prepared data to REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.

Hi,
For Creating MIRO Document,
We have to create PO Me21n,
then Do GR - MIGO using PO Reference,
then we have to do MIRO Using then same PO. so the link is basically the PO. Then the Payment for the MIRO document is done in F-53/F-58 refering the MIRO document. the check number will be generated once we do the Check Print in
FBZ5.
You can assign the check number to the F-53 document either in Assignment Field or the Reference field Using FCHU.
Once you do this you can view all the Vendor Bill using Doc Type RE, KR & Vendor Payments Doc Type KZ.
You can use the Std Report FBL1N / FK110N
Hope its useful. Assign points if found use ful

How to fetch the VAT registration number of the ship to party from billing

Dear SDN Team
How to fetch the VAT registration number of the ship to party from the billing document. Can you proide some information for fetching the VAT registration number of the ship to party.
Normally only the payer VAT registration number will be displayed in the Invoice. But in my case the Ship to party VAT number is displayed.
I have resolved this problem by doing the customizing setting in order to have the payer vat registration number. But for the Old Billing documents it is more than 30,000 documents where it was printed with the ship to party VAT number. So i need to identify those documents.
Can you please help to resolve this problem.
With Regards,
Jai

Hi,
To get VAT from the ship to from Billing, You have to first fetch the BILLING NUMBER from the VBRK and then goto the Document flow in VBFA to get the SALES DOCUMENT NUMBER and with sales document you will get the SHIP TO number from the VBPA with the PARVW = SH
Once you got the SHIP TO , then goto the KNA1 and get the VAT ID in the field STCEG
so the logic will be as follows
VBRK---VBELN and then
VBFA--VBELN with the document Category as C
VBPA-VBELN and get the KUNNR with PARVW =SH
Now with KUNNR ( ship to ) get the VAT ID from KNA1-STCEG

How to change the lenth of existing field in sap standard table

Hi all,
can anybody help,my requirement is, how to change the length of existing field in sap standard table....
thanks in advance..

Which field are you thinking of in particular? Are you wanting to increase or decrease the length?
Some fields are used so extensively that a change to their length will mean adjusting many tables, some of them potentially very large, and hence taking a long time to adjust.
Some standard SAP programs expect certain fields to be of specific lengths and won't work if the length is changed.
Some screens could cease to work.
If you decrease length, then you could lose data.

How To Increase the Size of Memo Fields 4000 Char in WebCenter 11g?

How To Increase the Size of Memo Fields greater than 4000 Char in WebCenter Content (UCM) 11g?
I was able to increase the size of Memo field from 2000 Char to 4000 by setting parameter value MEMOFIELDSIZE=4000 . But the requirement is to increase the size more than 4000 around 7000 char but Database(Oracle 11G) is not supporting more than 4000 char.
Is there any other way to increase the size of Memo field?
Thanks in Advance!!
Regards
Ram

Hello All,
Thanks for your responses.
Let me explain the scenario again in detail:
1. we have three meta-data fileds xProductCategory,xProductFamily and xProducts
2. These fields are related with DCL feature and corresponding values are being stored in corresponding custom Views
3. xProducFamily is dependent of xProductCategory and xProduct is dependent on xProductFamily
4. currently, there are around 250 Product values and average name of Product can be of 25 Char, so if we are selecting all product values for some Contents then Product Values are being stored in DocMeta table as comma separated values with one space, so total characters are being very high than 4K Char.
5. Currently view that is storing the Product values, stores "Name" column instead of ID(like 1,2,3....)
6. And our Content Server is integrated with Oracle WebSenter Portal, where logic has written to retrieve the contents based on "Product Name" instead of "Product ID" and already we are in UAT phase.Currently we are not in situation to revert the changes from Product Name to Product ID.
7. Also if we are storing the values on the basis of Product ID, then again the issue may arise in Future, if the number of Products increased.
Hoping the issue explanation is clear now and waiting for some possible solution for increasing the length of memo field.
Thanks in Advance !!

Change the description of a field in a SAP QUERY

Can i change the description of a field in a SAP QUERY report in the output of the report.or only the standard descriptions can be displayed.
Edited by: mysap query on May 12, 2009 7:23 AM

HI,
in query maintenance (sq01) you can change the text of the field at the selection screen (change the selection text in the screen where you choose the selection fields) and the header text in the output list (basiclist maintennace , go to "basic list header", double-click each header field to maintain the text). This change is only for the particular query. No ABAP-er required to do so.
