Use of field TEXT_FIELDNAME in Field Catalog for ALV

Hi Experts,
Could any one pls  tell me the relevance (purpose) of the field TEXT_FIELDNAME in Field catalog for an ALV ?
How is it different from the fields such as seltext_l, seltext_m, seltext_s ? When is it necessary to assign a value to this field ?
Thanks & Regards
Abhijith

Hi Abhijit
Refer to the following
<b>TEXT_FIELDNAME :</b>     Field name of internal table field. You can use this field to define a reference to a field that is used as the description for the current field. If a subtotal is calculated for the current field, the ALV Grid Control displays the descriptions in the field assigned.
Example: Your output table contains one column for material numbers and one column for the description of what these numbers mean (such as clockwork). If you calculate subtotals for the material numbers, only these numbers are usually displayed as the subtotals text. Based on the link to TXT_FIELD , you can refer to the corresponding column with the material description. This description is then used as the subtotals text.
<b>SELTEXT_L :</b>      Long key word (40 chars long). Determines the text to be used in the column selection for the column. A value should be assigned to this field if it does not have a Data Dictionary reference.
<b>SELTEXT_M   :</b>        Medium key word (20 chars long). Determines the text to be used in the column selection for the column. A value should be assigned to this field if it does not have a Data Dictionary reference.
<b>SELTEXT_S :</b>     Short key word (10 chars long). Determines the text to be used in the column selection for the column. A value should be assigned to this field if it does not have a Data Dictionary reference.
Award points if found useful.

  • New field (Customer group 5) to be added to the Catalog for Pricing.

    Hello friends,
    For the creation of a new Condition table, I require the field, KNVV-KVGR5 i.e Customer group 5 field present in Sales area data ->Extras -> Additional data in Customer master to be added to the Catalog of allowed fields since this field does not exist anywhere.
    I have already gone thru the threads available on adding New field for Pricing which has an example/detailed explanation with the Item category (PSTYVV) field.
    But the field I want i.e KNVV-KVGR5, is a part of Master data, so please guide me with the steps to follow to add this field in the field catalog and hence use it for creation of a new condition table.
    1) Should i add this field in KOMP (i.e item) or KOMK ( i.e Header) or KOMG?
    2) Should i include it in KOMKAZ or KOMPAZ?
    3) Should i create this field as data element or structure and what should be the domain used?
    4) For the value flow, should i use the Item -level user-exits or Header level mentioned in other threads?
    Please guide for the same urgently.

    Dear Friends,
    I was finally able to create a new field for Cust.grp.5 i.e ZZKVGR5 and added to Catalog to be used for Pricing.
    Then i faced a peculiar issue as below:
    For the business requirement, we defined a new tax condition table for determination of tax rates. For this, we are using both standard and custom fields to derive the correct tax rates in sales/billing documents like below
    A859: Country/Distr. Chl/Cust.grp.5/Material (Here Customer.grp 5 was added following the SAP Note: 531835)
    The field was inserted in the communication structure KOMKAZ which is included in both KOMK and KOMP.
    During the document processing, the pricing analysis view shows no value in the customer grp 5 field, though it is maintained for the customer used in the sales order. The code has been written in MV45 and RV60 both as guided in SAP Note: 531835. But the values are not flowing.
    Solved the above problem as below:
    M posting the answer to help the community for similar issue.
    Also, the new field tat i had added was Customer Grp 5 field of Customer master ->Extras->Additional field and I wanted the value to flow in the ZZKVGR5 field before the Pricing for the sales order was called.
    After trying all, we have finally fetched the value from KNVV-KVGR5 and got it moved to ZZKVGR5 field through ABAP coding.
    After this when i select/click on Pricing for a particular item, it gets picked up correctly and properly.
    Thanks to everyone for their valuable guidance and help.
    Regards to all.

  • Add a custom table for field selection while creating field catalog for LIS

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to add a Custom table to be available for field selection while creating a field catalog for LIS. Its required as there are many custom fields to be used for field catalog creation and adding them in one of the existing tables listed is not a feasible option for us. Please let me knw if its possible..?? If yes how to get it done..??
    Regards,
    Akash Sinha

    hi,
    You need to add your field in the Data Dictionary first. For example, if
    you want the new field in the Order Item field catalog do the following.
    Look at structure MCVBAPUSR (SE11). If you already have a user structure
    appended to this structure then you can add your new field to your existing
    structure. If there is no structure already appended to MCVBAPUSR then you
    must create a new structure with your field in it and then append the new
    structure to this one.
    If you look at structure MCVBAP you will see the data appended to the end
    of it.
    Now you should see it in the field catalog.

  • Simple way to create field catalogs in ALV Reports using subroutine

         In ALV Reports When creating field catalog, instead of giving field catalog for every field seperatly we can use following simple method to create field catalog.

              Above code will repeat the execution of subroutine PREP_CATALOG for every set of values passed to subroutine because we used
    USING : (chain operator) to pass value to subroutine.
              Subroutine will assign passed values to corresponding field and simply appends those values in ITAB created for field catalog(IT_FIELDCAT). It repeates this process until all the passed values are appended into ITAB.
              This method will reduce complexity of the code as well as time required to write code for every field's field catalog seperatly. It does lots of work in very few lines of codes.

    Scott,
    I don't think there is a way to divide all numbers by a million in one shot, but you could divide the numbers by million by writing code for each amount field as needed: <?FIELD1 div 1000000?> and the use the round function <?xdoxslt:round(2.777,2)?>
    combined function: <?xdoxslt:round((12345605.6 div 1000000),2)?>

  • Building Field-Catalog for dynamic internal tables

    Hi All,
    I  created a dynamic internal table(<fs_final>,<fs_final_line>)  and populated data into it.Now I want to provide field catalog to these dynamic internal table.
    Can anyone suggest me the how to create a field catalog for existing dynamic internal table.Thanks in advance.

  • Adding new field to product allocation catalog?

    We are configuring product allocations in SCM 7.0 and have a requirement to add a new field to the standard field catalog for the allocations check.  We have followed the procedure outlined by SAP to add our new field to the structure /SAPAPO/KOMGOZ, add the field to the field catalog, and copied the source code to ERP.
    The issue that we are having is that new custom field that we added to the field catalog is not being populated when we execute /SAPAPO/ATPQ_PAREA_K - Characteristics Combinations from Planning Area.  The product allocations group that is being used in /SAPAPO/ATPQ_PAREA_K has three characteristics. The first two which are SAP provided fields are being populated correctly, but the last custom field we added to the field catalog is not. It is just blank.
    Is there a step that we missed during the configuation.  We are only using this field for the product allocations check (we do not use Rules Based ATP).

    Hi Arnel,
    I was expecting with examples but anyway.
    consider the examples of your CVC
    Country Region brand SO DV DC mat plant  etc...
    now you want to first get confirmation on SO and DV  , Prd allo group with these 2 characteristics
    same goes for all other combinations.
    now if you want to go with Either Or   /And.. decides if you need to go with one product allocation procedure with many prod allocation group  /or/ a sequence product allocation procedure.
    Its very straight forward as such... if you come up with examples, i can give better details.
    Looking at point 3 it looks like you want to go with 'OR' so you will have to go with sequence.
    (tcode: /SAPAPO/ATPCQ_GENER)-  is to check the customizing,  sometime you might move the Prod allocation from dev system and just to make sure there is no issue in transport /missing config.. it will check with transaction code.  I don't think you have to run this every time. After every transport..may be you have too as a caution check.
    Imp:  just to check @ different levels i dont think you will have to create different planning area.  If all the characteristics on which you want to (combinations) is available in one planning area , you should be good with one planning area only.
    Hope this is helpful.  I would suggest to follow what we have discussed so far and then you can create another message after the configuration/approach you finalized  with new issues/concerns you will be facing.
    If issue are really bothering you much, you can reach out to me directly. Let me know

  • Field Catalogs in ALV

    Hi Friends,
    Please help me out, I am new to ABAP.
    Please anybody explain me the functionality of Field catalogs in ALVs?
    How many methods are there to pass data to ALVs, i.e., in how many ways?
    Hope u will help me.

    hi,
    this will be very helpful for ALV REPORTING.....
    Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.  In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain upto 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
    The commonly used ALV functions used for this purpose are;
    1.     REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET
    2.     REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4
    3.     REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE
    4.     REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
    5.     REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
    6.   REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
    7.   REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
    8.     REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
    9.     REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT
    The different steps used for getting the above function modules into use are:
    Step 1
    DATA DECLARATION
    Sap standard type pools:  SLIS , KKBLO .
    Sap standard tables types taken from the type pools are:  SLIS_LAYOUT_ALV ,
                                             SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV,
    SLIS_T_LISTHEADER,
    SLIS_T_EVENT,
    SLIS_SELFIELD.
    Internal tables to used in the program declared based on the above table types
    DATA:  I_LAYOUT TYPE SLIS_LAYOUT_ALV,
                I_FIELDTAB TYPE SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV,
               I_HEADING TYPE SLIS_T_LISTHEADER,
    I_EVENTS TYPE SLIS_T_EVENT.
    TYPES:  KKBLO_SELFIELD TYPE SLIS_SELFIELD.
    Step 2 (Optional)
    SELECTING THE VARIANTS FOR INITIAL LIST DISPLAY (DEFAULT VARIANT)
    The variants in the list display can be both user-specific and general. The user can programmatically set the initial (default) variant for list display.
    The default variant can be found using the function module 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'.
    Sample code:
    CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'
           EXPORTING
                i_save     = variant save condition ( A=all, U = user-specific )
           CHANGING
                cs_variant = internal table containing the program name (and the default variant---optional )
           EXCEPTIONS
                not_found  = 2.
    The user can also choose from the list of existing variants using the function module ‘REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4’.
    Step 3
    DEFININING OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS: PREPARING DISPLAY FIELDS CATALOG
    A field catalog is prepared using the internal table (I_FIELDCAT) of type SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV. Field catalog containing descriptions of the list output fields (usually a subset of the internal output table fields).
    A field catalog is required for every ALV list output to add desired functionality (i.e. Key, Hotspot, Specific headings, Justify, Col. position etc) to certain fields of the output. If not mentioned specifically, then the defaults are taken. The possible values and defaults are listed below.
    The field catalog for the output table is built-up in the caller's coding. The build-up can be completely or partially automated by calling the REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE module.
    The minimal field catalog is documented below. This can be done in a routine using a local variable. The user can use the other optional parameters to assign output attributes to different fields in the output, which differ from the default.
    A field catalog need not be built-up and passed explicitly only under the following conditions:
    1.     The internal table to be output has the same structure as a Data Dictionary structure which is referred to in the internal table declaration using LIKE or INCLUDE STRUCTURE. In this case the attributes of the different fields is taken directly from the table and the attributes (key fields, length, texts etc) need to state explicitly.
    2.     all fields in this structure are to be output
    3.     The structure name is passed to ALV in the parameter I_STRUCTURE_NAME of the function module REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY.
    All the values entered in the catalog is specific to the particular field whose name is entered in the fieldname FIELDNAME of the fieldcat structure. The name of the table is also entered in the corr. Fieldname TABNAME of the structure.
    The different possible attributes are:
    •     Row_pos (row position): Only relevant if the list output is to be multi-line (two or three lines) by default. So, this attribute can be used maintain certain level of alignment in the output.
                         Value set: 0, 1 – 3
    •     Col_pos (column position): This parameter is relevant when the fields in the output are to be different from the sequence of the fields in the internal table used for display.       The parameter specifies the relative column position of the field in the list output. The column order can be changed interactively by the user. If this parameter is initial for all field catalog entries, columns appear in the internal table field sequence.
    Value set: 0, 1 – 60
    •     Fieldname (field name): This is the name of the internal table field for which the parameters are passed in the catalog.
    Value set: internal output table field name (required parameter)
    •     Tabname (internal output table): Name of the internal output table that contains the field FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME above.
                         Value set: SPACE, internal output table name.
    •     Ref_fieldname (reference field name): Name of the Data Dictionary field referred to. This parameter is only used when the internal output table field described by the current field catalog entry has a reference to the Data Dictionary (not a program field), and the field name in the internal output table is different from the name of the field in the        Data Dictionary. If the field names are identical, naming the Data Dictionary structure or table in the FIELDCAT-REF_TABNAME parameter is sufficient.
        Value set: SPACE, Data Dictionary field name.
    •     Ref_tabname (reference table/structure field name): Structure or table name of the referred Data Dictionary field.        This parameter is only used when the internal output table field described by the current field catalog entry has a Data Dictionary reference (not a program field).
    Value set: SPACE, name of a Data Dictionary structure or table
    Link to currency unit
    •     Cfieldname (currency unit field name): This is used for currency fields that have a reference to any unit field. This is only relevant for amount columns with associated unit. This parameter contains the Name of the internal output table field containing the currency unit associated with the amount field FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME. The field in FIELDCAT-CFIELDNAME must have its own field catalog entry.
    Value set: SPACE, output table field name
    •     Ctabname (internal currency unit field output table): Name of the internal output table containing the FIELDCAT-CFIELDNAME field.
    Value set: SPACE, output table field name.
            Link to measurement unit
    •     Qfieldname (measurement unit field name): Only relevant for quantity columns with unit link. Name of the internal output table field containing the measurement unit associated with the quantity field FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME. The field in FIELDCAT-QFIELDNAME must have its own field catalog entry.
    Value set: SPACE, output table field name.
    •     Qtabname (internal measurement unit field output table): Name of the internal output table containing the FIELDCAT-QFIELDNAME field.
    Value set: SPACE, output table field name.
    •     Outputlen (column width): This parameter is used if the desired output length for a field is desired to be different from the internal output table field. For fields with a Data Dictionary link this parameter can be left initial. For fields without a Data Dictionary link (program field) the parameter must be given the value of the desired field list output length (column width).
    Initial = column width is the output length of the referred Data Dictionary field (domain).
    N = column width is n characters.
          Value set: 0 (initial), n.
    •     Key (key column): By default, the system makes some fields in the output as key fields, provided the fields are key fields in their referencing table. Using this parameter, fields other than key fields of the referencing table can be made key field. This parameter is most important if the output needs to contain some field which are not scrollable or cannot be hidden.
    If the internal output table contains fields that are key fields from different tables, then all those fields in the report output becomes unscrollable and cannot be hidden. So, the fields in the output internal table should not be referenced from tables in which they are key fields. Instead, they should be referenced to the tables in which they are not key fields, incase they are not desired as key field in the output.
    'X' = key field (key field output in color) and Key fields can not be interactively hidden. Parameter FIELDCAT-NO_OUT must be left initial.
          Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
    •     Key_sel (hideable key column): This parameter is only relevant for the fields which are made key fields using FIELDCAT-KEY = 'X'. Using this parameter the Key field can be hidden interactively.
    The key column sequence cannot be changed interactively by the user. The output is controlled by the FIELDCAT-NO_OUT parameter analogously to non-key fields.
    Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
    •     No_out (field in field list): This parameter is used to remove certain fields from the output during initial display.  The user can however interactively choose the field for output from the field list in the display variant.
                'X' = field is not displayed in the current list.
            Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
    •     Tech (technical field): This parameter is used to make certain field display only in the field catalog. The fields with this parameter set cannot be output in the list nor can they be displayed interactively from the catalog.
                        'X' = technical field.
           Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
    •     Emphasize (highlight columns in color): As name suggests, this field parameter is used to highlight certain field with chosen colors.
    Value set: SPACE, 'X' or 'Cxyz' (x:'1'-'9'; y,z: '0'=off ,'1'=on).
    'X' = column is colored with the default column highlight color.
                        'Cxyz' = column is colored with a coded color:
                      -  C: Color (coding must begin with C)
                     -  X: color number
                      -  Y: bold
                       -  Z: inverse
    •     Hotspot (column as hotspot): This parameter is used to make certain field appear as hotspot i.e. a hand is displayed if the cursor is positioned on the field value. Single click on such fields cause the PICK OR F2 events to happen.
             Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
                        'X' = column cells are output as hotspots.
    •     Fix_column (fix column): This parameter is used to fix certain columns in the output. All columns to be fixed must have this flag, starting from the left. If a column without this flag is output, only the columns to the left of this column are fixed. The user can change the column fixing interactively.
                         Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
            'X' = column fixed (does not scroll horizontally).
    •     Do_sum (sum over column): the user can also call this function interactively.
                      Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
    'X' = a sum is calculated over this internal output table field.
    •     No_sum (sums forbidden): No sum can be calculated over this field, although the data type of the field would allow summing.
             Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
    •     Icon: The parameter displays certain column contents as icons. The internal output table column contents must be valid icon strings.
                        Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
                         'X' = column contents to be output as an icon.
    •     Symbol: The internal output table column must be a valid symbol character.
    Value set: SPACE, 'X'
                        'X' = column contents are to be output as a symbol.
    •     Just (justification): This parameter is used for alignment of the contents of the output table. This is only relevant for CHAR or NUMC fields in the output internal table. The justification of the column header always follows the justification of the columns. Independent justification of the column header is not possible.
    Value set: SPACE, 'R', 'L', and ‘C’.
           ' ' = Default justification for this data type
           'R' = right-justified output
           'L' = left-justified output
           'C' = centered output.
    •     Lzero (leading zeros): By default ALV outputs NUMC fields right-justified without leading zeros. Using this parameter only the NUMC fields can be displayed with leading zeroes.
                       Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
                        'X' = output with leading zeros.
    •     No_sign (no +/- sign): This parameter is used to suppress the signs of the output fields. It is only relevant for the value fields.
        Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
               'X' = value output without +/ sign.
    •     No_zero (suppress zeros): Only relevant for value fields.
                 Value set: SPACE, 'X'.
                        'X' = suppress zeros.
    •     Edit_mask (field formatting): To apply the report output formatting options same as in the WRITE statement in report writing.
               Value set: SPACE, template.
    The following parameters are used for customizing the texts in the heading of the output of the columns. The texts are taken from the Data Dictionary for fields with a Data Dictionary reference. If this is not desired, the text parameters can also be specified. The Data Dictionary texts are then ignored.
    If the user changes the column width interactively, the column header text with the appropriate length is always used.
    The interactive function 'Optimize column width' takes account of both the field contents and the column headers: if all field contents are shorter than the shortest column header, the column width depends on the column header.
         The 'long field label' is also used in display variant definition,
            Sort, etc.  Popup.
    •     seltext_l (long field label)
    •     seltext_m (medium field label)
    •     seltext_s (short field label)
    •     reptext_ddic(header) Analogous to the Data element main header
    •     Ddictxt (specify text) : You can specify with values 'L', 'M',  and 'S', the keyword that should always be used as column header. If the column width changes, no attempt is made in this case to find an appropriate header for the new output width.
    Value set: SPACE, 'L', 'M', and ‘S’.
    Sample code:
    Suppose I_PO_DETAILS is an internal table containing two fields EBELN (PO number) and EBELP (PO item no).
    DATA: L_FIELDCAT TYPE SLIS_FIELDCAT_ALV.     “Local variable to hold the parameters                                                                               
    for a particular field of the field catalog
      CLEAR L_FIELDCAT.
      L_FIELDCAT-TABNAME   = 'I_PO_DETAILS'.
      L_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = 'EBELN'.
      L_FIELDCAT-KEY = 'X'.         “The PO no is made the key field,
                          “Colored and non scrollable
      L_FIELDCAT-HOTSPOT = 'X'.     “The po no becomes a hotspot
      L_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_S = ‘P.O No’.
      L_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_M = 'P order No'.
      L_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_L = 'Purchase order No'.
      APPEND L_FIELDCAT TO I_FIELDTAB.
      CLEAR L_FIELDCAT
      L_FIELDCAT-TABNAME   = 'I_PO_DETAILS'.
      L_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = 'EBELN'.
      L_FIELDCAT-KEY = 'X'.         “The po item no is made the key field,
                               “Colored and non scrollable
      L_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_S = 'Item No'.
      L_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_M = 'Item No`.
      L_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_L = 'PO Item No'.
      APPEND L_FIELDCAT TO I_FIELDTAB.
      CLEAR L_FIELDCAT
    Thus the catalog for the report output is prepared.
    Step 4
    The next step is to build an event table, which are used for firing both user commands and the system dependent events i.e. top of page, end of page etc.
    A list of possible events is populated into an event table (I_EVENTS) when this table is passed to the function module REUSE_ALV_EVENT_NAMES_GET. The return table from this function module contains all the possible events.
    The function module contains following import and export parameters.
    IMPORTING PARAMETERS: I_LIST_TYPE
    This parameter has possible values from 0-4.
    The parameter I_LIST_TYPE is of TYPE SLIS_LIST_TYPE and is DEFAULT 0 .
    EXPORTING PARAMETERS:  I_EVENTS table.
    This table is of TYPE SLIS_T_EVENT and returns to the program the name of all the possible events.
    The table structure contains the fields:
         I_EVENTS-NAME: Name of the Callback event.
    I_EVENTS-FORM: Name of the form routine that should be called in the calling program at the event.
    Only events with a form routine name are processed.
    The I_EVENTS table returns with the following possible constants:
    1.     Slis_ev_item_data_expand TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'ITEM_DATA_EXPAND'.     
    Only relevant for hierarchical-sequential lists using the layout parameter IS_LAYOUT-EXPAND_FIELDNAME of the structure IS_LAYOUT. Exit for passing item entries (ITEM table) for a header record that was expanded interactively by the user.
    2.     Slis_ev_reprep_sel_modify TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'REPREP_SEL_MODIFY'.
    RS_SELFIELD-TABINDEX contains the header table index for which the item entries are to       be put in the global item output table (T_OUTTAB_SLAVE). The Callback is only called if ALV has no items for a header that is to be expanded.
    RFLG_ALL is passed with 'X' if the user shows all items. The application must ensure that    entries are not repeated in the item table.
        RS_SELFIELD is initial in this case.         
    3.     Slis_ev_caller_exit_at_start TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'CALLER_EXIT'.
    Is called at the beginning of the function module to make special settings. It is not usually used.          
    4.     Slis_ev_user_command TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'USER_COMMAND'.
    As this is a frequently-used Callback event, the form routine can also be passed        directly in the interface by passing the user command in the IMPORTING parameter           I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND.
    5.     Slis_ev_top_of_page TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'TOP_OF_PAGE'.
       Equivalent to the list processing TOP-OF-PAGE event.           
    6.     Slis_ev_top_of_coverpage TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'TOP_OF_COVERPAGE'.       
    The selection information and list status are output together (if they exist) on a separate page by default
    7.     Slis_ev_end_of_coverpage TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'END_OF_COVERPAGE'.       
    Analogously to TOP_OF_COVERPAGE the user can add other information
    to the information output by ALV (selection information, list status) at this event.
    8.     Slis_ev_foreign_top_of_page TYPE slis_formname VALUE ‘FOREIGN_TOP_OF_PAGE'.
    The Top-of-page event is always processed in ALV and is only passed to the caller via the Callback mechanism. This is still the case if the caller, e.g. by a user action, processes a branch list which was not formatted by ALV (e.g. a popup with additional information about the list record selected and displayed by ALV).
    In this case, top-of-page cannot be formatted by ALV analogously to the basic list, it must be handled completely by the caller. The event top-of-page still occurs in ALV. When ALV notices a top-of-page which was not caused by an ALV output, the form routine in FOREIGN_TOP_OF_PAGE is called.
    9.     Slis_ev_foreign_end_of_page TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'FOREIGN_END_OF_PAGE'.  
    The event end-of-page is always processed in ALV and only passed to the caller via callback. This is still the case, e.g. when the caller processes a details list which was not formatted by ALV (e.g. a popup with further information about selected list records which were displayed by ALV).
    In this case, end-of-page cannot be formatted by ALV analogously to the basic list, it must be handled completely by the caller. The event end-of-page still occurs in ALV. When ALV notices an end-of-page that was not caused by an ALV output, the form routine in FOREIGN_END_OF_PAGE is called.                             
    10.     Slis_ev_pf_status_set TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'PF_STATUS_SET'.
    If a user list status is to be set, it must be done in the form routine assigned to this event. The ALV function codes, which must not be active, are in the Parameter RT_EXTAB. This table must be passed with the SET PF-STATUS command (with inactive user function codes as well, if necessary).
    The STANDARD status of the function group SALV should be used as a          template for a user-specific status. As this is a frequently used Callback event, its form routine can also be passed directly in the interface in the IMPORTING parameter I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET.
    11.     Slis_ev_list_modify TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'LIST_MODIFY'.     
    LIST_MODIFY USING R_TABNAME TYPE SLIS_TABNAME
                                             R_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX
                                             R_INDEX_ITEM LIKE SY-TABIX
                                             R_INDEX_SUM LIKE SY-TABIX.
    12.     Slis_ev_top_of_list TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'TOP_OF_LIST'.  
    Information output at the start of the list     
    13.     Slis_ev_end_of_page TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'END_OF_PAGE'.
    Information output at the end of a page. This is only called for printing.
    14.     Slis_ev_end_of_list TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'END_OF_LIST'.     
    Information output at the end of the list
    15.     Slis_ev_after_line_output TYPE slis_formname VALUE 'AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT'.
    Output information after each output line. Should only be used in justified cases because it costs a lot of performance.
    16.     Slis_ev_before_line_output TYPE slis_formname VALUE   'BEFORE_LINE_OUTPUT'.       
    Output information before each output line. Should only be used in justified cases because it costs a lot of performance.         
    17.     Slis_ev_subtotal_text TYPE slis_formname VALUE  'SUBTOTAL_TEXT'.                        
    This event table (I_EVENTS) is now checked with the desired constants. If the desired constant is found, then the corresponding field for the FORM NAME is populated with the name of the routine containing the corresponding event.
    Sample code :
    FORMNAME_TOP_OF_PAGE TYPE SLIS_FORMNAME VALUE 'TOP_OF_PAGE',
    FORMNAME_END_OF_PAGE TYPE SLIS_FORMNAME VALUE 'END_OF_PAGE', FORMNAME_USER_COMMAND TYPE SLIS_FORMNAME VALUE 'USER_COMMAND'.
    DATA: L_I_EVENT TYPE SLIS_ALV_EVENT.
      CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET'
           EXPORTING
               I_LIST_TYPE = 0
           IMPORTING
                ET_EVENTS   = I_EVENTS.
      READ TABLE I_EVENTS WITH KEY NAME = SLIS_EV_TOP_OF_PAGE
                               INTO L_I_EVENT.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        MOVE FORMNAME_TOP_OF_PAGE TO L_I_EVENT-FORM.
        APPEND L_I_EVENT TO I_EVENTS.
      ENDIF.
      READ TABLE I_EVENTS WITH KEY NAME = SLIS_EV_END_OF_PAGE
                               INTO L_I_EVENT.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        MOVE FORMNAME_END_OF_PAGE TO L_I_EVENT-FORM.
        APPEND L_I_EVENT TO I_EVENTS.
      ENDIF.
      CLEAR L_I_EVENT.
      READ TABLE I_EVENTS WITH KEY NAME = SLIS_EV_USER_COMMAND
                               INTO L_I_EVENT.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        MOVE FORMNAME_USER_COMMAND TO L_I_EVENT-FORM.
        APPEND L_I_EVENT TO I_EVENTS.
      ENDIF.
    This will prepare the events table for the report.
    The report will contain three forms for the above events:
    1.     FORM TOP_OF_PAGE : This form will contain the top of page event for the report i.e header etc
    Using the function module ‘REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE’, the internal table containing the headings for top of page event can be passed to the list output. Also, any logo specific to the report can be passed to the function module.
    2.     FORM END_OF_PAGE : This form will contain the end of page event for the report i.e footer etc
    3.     FORM USER_COMMAND : This form will contain the desired user command i.e pick/line selection
    Step 5
    A layout is build for the report output list description USING the internal table declared above (I_LAYOUT).

    46. Coltab_fieldname TYPE slis_fieldname: Cells can be colored individually using a color code which is contained in a column of the internal output table for the record containing the cell. Assign the name of the field to this parameter.       
    Others                                                
    47. List_append(1) TYPE c :  no call screen. It is only useful to output block-lists without specifying the above modules if the number of list blocks exceeds, or may exceed, the maximum number specified in the block module documentation. These operations are not possible for user-defined block lists.
    Example code :
           I_LAYOUT-f2code       = ws_fcode.
           I_LAYOUT-zebra        = 'X'.
    I_LAYOUT-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
    I_LAYOUT-no_keyfix = 'X'.
    I_LAYOUT-get_selinfos = 'X'.
    I_LAYOUT-no_hotspot = 'X'.
           I_LAYOUT-no_input = 'X'.
    I_LAYOUT-hotspot_fieldname = FIELDNAME.
    I_LAYOUT-no_input          = ‘X’.
    I_LAYOUT-no_vline          = `X’.
    I_LAYOUT-no_colhead        = ‘ ‘.
    I_LAYOUT-lights_condense   = ` `.
    I_LAYOUT-totals_text       = ` `.
    I_LAYOUT-subtotals_text    = ` `.
    I_LAYOUT-totals_only       = ` `.
    I_LAYOUT-key_hotspot       = ‘X’.
    I_LAYOUT-detail_popup      = ‘X’.
    I_LAYOUT-group_change_edit = ‘X’.
    I_LAYOUT-GROUP_BUTTONS     = ‘X’.
    Step 6
    This step is required to get the selection screen information in the report output.
    The prerequisite for this is to set the parameter LAYOUT-GET_SELINFOS of the IMPORTING structure.
    The parameters to be passed in the IS_SEL_HIDE table are:
    o mode:              'R' = only the entries passed in the internal table IS_SEL_HIDE-T_ENTRIES       
    Are output in the pop up. Selection info, which the list tool read in the selection screen (when called by a report with a selection screen), is replaced by the values passed.
    'S' = the selection info which the list tool read in the selection screen of the calling report are modified by the entries in the table IS_SEL_HIDE-T_ENTRIES.
    o t_entries:         Selection info table
    o t_entries-mode:   'A' = output the selection info for the current table record in the info popup.
    'D' = do not output select option or SELNAME parameter selection info in   the popup.
    o t_entries-selname: (only used in t_entries-mode = 'D') : Name of the select option or parameter.
    The following table fields are only used in t_entries-mode = 'A'. They contain the selection information to be added.
    •     t_entries-field:  DDIC field name of the field for which selection information is to be output.
    •     t_entries-table:  DDIC table names of t_entries-field.
    •     t_entries-stext:  Field name in info popup.
    •     If t_entries-field and t_entries-table have been entered, this text is taken from DDIC.
    •     t_entries-valuf:  Selection condition 'from' value (external format)
    •     t_entries-valut:  Selection condition 'to' value (external format)
    •     t_entries-sign0:  (I)nclusive (E)xclusive
    •     t_entries-option:  All values of the select options Option field allowed.
    Step 6
    The Table IT_SORT is populated with the sort criteria for the different fields.
    The caller specifies the sorting and/or subtotaling of the basic list in the internal table IT_SORT.
    This internal table has the following fields:
         o spos :  Sort sequence
         o fieldname :  Internal output table field name
         o tabname : Only relevant for hierarchical-sequential lists. Name of the internal output table.
         o up : 'X' = sort in ascending order
         o down : 'X' = sort in descending order
         o subtot : 'X' = subtotal at group value change
         o group : '* ' = new page at group value change ,'UL' = underline at group value change
                             Step 7
    The final step in the output of the report is the use of two ALV functions modules.
    1.     REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
    2.     REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
    The first function module is used to pass the field catalog to the report output and merge it with the internal output table.
    FUNCTION reuse_alv_fieldcatalog_merge.                                
    ""Lokale Schnittstelle:

    I_CLIENT_NEVER_DISPL: Hide client fields default ‘X’
    I_INCLNAME: Data declarations include name
    CHANGING parameter
    CT_FIELDCAT: Field catalog with field descriptions
    The variant based on a program-internal table should only be used for rapid prototyping since the following restrictions apply:                                                                               
    1.   Performance is affected since the code of the table definition must always be read and interpreted at runtime.                                                                               
    2.   Dictionary reference are only considered if the keywords LIKE or  INCLUDE STRUCTURE (not TYPE) are used.
    Step 8
    The other function module is used to display the internal output table with the contents

  • Multi row field catalog in ALV

    Hi everyone!
    Is there a way to have more than one row in the field catalog for a alv grid display? I've found row_pos but I can't make it work. I need a a row with monts on it and in another row there should be fields called 'hours' and 'costs' for every month. I don't know if I'm making any sense here. Anyway, thanks for your help, I hope someone knows how to do this!
    Zigor.

    Field Symbols and field groups

    Field Symbols
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/fc/eb387a358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
    Field symbols: are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
    Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
    Field Groups:
    A field group is a user-defined grouping of characteristics and basic key figures from the EC-EIS or EC-BP field catalog.
    Use
    The field catalog contains the fields that are used in the aspects. As the number of fields grows, the field catalog becomes very large and unclear. To simplify maintenance of the aspects, you can group fields in a field group. You can group the fields as you wish, for example, by subject area or responsibility area. A field may be included in several field groups.
    When maintaining the data structure of an aspect, you can select the field group that contains the relevant characteristics and basic key figures. This way you limit the number of fields offered.
    A field group combines several existing fields together under one name
    like
    FIELD-GROUPS: fg.
    then you can use one insert statement to insert values in fields of field-group.
    INSERT f1 f2 ... INTO fg.
    Field symbols
    If u have experience with 'C', then understand this to be similar to a pointer.
    It is used to reference another variable dynamically. So this field symbol will simply point to some other variable. and this pointer can be changed at runtime.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS>.
    DATA FIELD VALUE 'X'.
    ASSIGN FIELD TO <FS>.
    WRITE <FS>.

  • Field avaialble in field catalog but not when I try to create the condition

    Hi,
      I wanted to add a new table to a delivery output. I need the fields delivery type/ship point and destination country. I could see that destination country (LAND1) is not available in the field catalog. I added it from the list of available fields (in KOMKBV2) and can see it in the field catalog but not when I try to create the condition table. What else do I need to get this field ?
    Regards,
    Hari.

    Also add your new field to structure KOMBZ
    If you want to use a new field in the field catalog, you must add the field to KOMP or KOMK in the following INCLUDES:
    - header data in INCLUDE KOMKAZ in KOMK
    - item data in INCLUDE KOMPAZ in KOMP
    When you use INCLUDES, the field is automatically added to KOMG and the field catalog.
    The routines for assigning values to the new fields in order processing are found in member MV45AFZZ. Use the following user exits:
    - USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK (header fields)
    - USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP (item fields)
