Please use the following :

How to fix few rows in ALV after filtering on a column in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi,
I have the following requirement:
In an ALV, when i filter based on a column, then this filter should not be applied to 2 of its rows.
These rows relate to totals. The totals are manually calculated as they require other component information too.
Along with the filter result, these total rows have to be displayed.
Let me know in case ALV in Web Dynpro ABAP supports this functionality.
Regards,
Rekha

Hi,
ALV table does not support this functionality.
You can display the total in an another table instead.
I had the same requirement with total and had to display the totals separately.

BW BPS Web Page(BSP App): how to Freeze columns in a ALV Layout?

Hi Gurus,
I'm trying to freeze the first columns of my layout when scrolling to the right.
I got the scrollbar including html(javascript) text element in my web page, but i for the moment I'm stuck with the freezing column.
I'd appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance.
IP

Hi, the problem is in the Web page, not in the layout definition.
The first thing i did was to freeze columns in the layout definition, but when you build your web page(bps_wb) those settings aren´t applying.
I guess i need javascript to do it. Any suggestion?
Thanks

Variant in ALV selection screen

Hi friends,
How to protect a variant in ALV selection screen from changing or deleting by other users.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Rajesh,
You still need someone to be able to change the variant, right? That is what exactly PROTECT VARIANT does.
If you select the field Protect variant, the variant can only be changed by the person who created it or last changed it.

Ravi

Specific ALV layout for FBL1N

Hi Guys,
Any ideas how can I set the specific ALV layout fo FBL1N report in the way, that special group of users see only one/few specific document types (not all of them) for the certain supplier. I don't want to do that in ABAP.
Regards
Adam

hi Adam,
you can assign authorization to each single document type in transaction OBA7. You also have to maintain the user profiles as well (the respective auth object is F_BKPF_BLA). Of course this will be valid in the whole system, but it does not make much sense that users have limited authorization in one specific transaction only.
hope this helps

Does anyone know how to win a fight with layout manager?

I am using the form designer in netBeans to design my page, which has a jPanel on the left and a number of controls on the right.
My problem is that when I eventually get it to look half right at design time, it looks different at run time. The fonts are different, the combo boxes are a different height and some of my text boxes are 4 times as wide. http://RPSeaman.googlepages.com/layout.GIF shows both the design-time view and the run-time view. How can I win my fight with layout manager?

I'd like to do an experiment where you take say 20 pairs of students of java, with each pair matched in terms of prior programming and java experience, general knowledge, etc... and set one of each pair to learn Swing using netbeans and its layout generator with the other pair learning to code Swing by hand. Then 6 months later compare their abilities. I'll bet that the code by hand group will blow the other group out of the water in terms of understanding and ability.
Just my 2 Sheckel's worth.

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.

DB Table for Layout Variant in ALV report

Please help me by providing the table name which will get an entry when we save Layout Variant in ALV(OO ALV grid) output.

How can we use the saved alv grid layout in a report?

I have a requirement where I go to se16n transaction and select a few fields of a table and extract the data of the table. Again I re-arrange the columns in the report and save it as a variant along with this new layout. Now how to call this variant in a report wherein I want only the re arranged positions of the column(fields) of the field catalog? Is there any function module available?

hi,
you can have selection screen field : "parameters : p_disvar like disvariant-variant." and at event selection scree you can call the below function and select the variant create for the report.

How to find all the columns in an ALV Layout?

Hi all
   Here's what I need to do. When I run a program (with ALV output in online mode) in the background mode, I need to save the data to a file. And this file is supposed to contain only those columns in a specified ALV Layout.
Any suggestion how to achieve this?
Thank you so much!!!

hi,
u are appending to a field catlog.
eg:
int_fieldcatalog-fieldname   = 'CHECT'.
int_fieldcatalog-seltext_m   = 'Check No'.
int_fieldcatalog-col_pos     = 0.
int_fieldcatalog-outputlen   = 13.
int_fieldcatalog-emphasize   = 'X'.
int_fieldcatalog-key         = 'X'.
APPEND int_fieldcatalog TO int_fieldcatalog.
CLEAR int_fieldcatalog.
so chk this int_fieldcatalog internal table.
it will containthe field in the field in the ALV display.
