Hi,

selection conditions are specified in Include CATS_SELECTION_SCREEN

the ALV is processed in MODULE d0500_init

Hi,

Copy the program name and open in SE38 in display mode, there u can keep breakpoints where ever u want, alternately u open the program in display mode and in command window type /H and click enter. The program goes into debugging mode.

Jijo,

search in prg RCATS_DISPLAY_ACTIVITIES with term call method alv_grid->start_detail_display you will get your answer.

yes we can debug it by just /h.

and its not an simple ALV its based on oops concept.

i have a feeling it's not so easy to just copy this program into a Zprogram - there are probably many includes, screens, statuses, etc...

the best thing to do is good old /h and step through the code.

also, you can open the SAP program in display mode and search for SELECT statements to see what that turns up - that may not work so well if the program is using FMs to select the data.

Jijo,

You may try to use debug option break-point at statement <select>

you can do this by setting the /h debug option initially and use option break-point at statement <select>

alternate option is use trace ST05 use SQL Trace, and refer to select statements where data is selected. set the break point into those programs and run transaction again.

I hope this will help.

Hi,

Data is being selected from form start_of_selection.

form start_of_selection.

import times_tab from memory id co_saplcatsxt.

free memory id co_saplcatsxt.

if times_tab is not initial.

Call from CATSXT transaction -> no DB selection

stop.

endif.

create object gr_dbsel

exporting

im_calling_program = sy-repid

im_badi = gr_report->gr_badi.

call method gr_report->badi_start_of_selection.

if gr_dbsel->pnpce_selections_active( ) is initial.

stop.

endif.

endform.
