Implementing in code the same as Settings -> Columns -> Optimize Width

Former Member — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 10:09:57 GMT

Is there a way I can code the field catalog form (one of its parameters, maybe ? although I didn't find a suitable one...) so the ALV is displayed like if I went over Settings -> Columns -> Optimize Width ? In other words, displaying all the columns with their proper medium/long texts (according to what I choose), without having to adjust the column widths, whenever the DDIC definition, for the given data element, doesn't suffice ?

Thanks,

Avraham

well if you are talking of an ALV you should look in the structure Layout not in the fieldcat.

there you can find your desired parameter.

Hi Avaraham,

Check the Layout of Exporting parameters, there is one option

'colwidth_optimize' pass 'X' to this parameter.

hi,

there is a field in layout.

layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.

By using this no need to declare fieldcatalog length. it opts automatically optimum length for all column.

Hi,

before building fieldcatalog do follow below logic.

Data it_layout type slis_layout_alv. "Declare Globally

it_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.

it_layout-zebra = 'X'.

then

clear wa_fieldcat.

add 1 to col_pos.

wa_fieldcat-row_pos = 1.

wa_fieldcat-col_pos = col_pos.

wa_fieldcat-fieldname = 'SNO'.

wa_fieldcat-seltext_l = 'S. No.'.

append wa_fieldcat to it_fieldcat.

if you are talking about Normal ALV

you need to use the

LAYOUT-COLWIDTH-OPTIMIZE .

and the layout structure you need to pass it to layout parameter of ALV.

if you are talking about ALV OO

LAYOUT-CWIDTH_OPT
