Match code for an editable ALV field

Former Member — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 08:32:35 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have an ALV with an editable field. I want to add matchcode with predefined 2 values to it.

I used EDIT option for field catalog to make this field editable.

I defined this field as a custom field in one of the DB table.

The possible values of the field are in the declaration of the DOMAIN. But I still can't see the matchcode with those values when I want to enter a value into this field in ALV.

What should I do?

Thank you in advance,

Diana

if you mention these two you get the F4 help automatically.

You need to mention the REF_FIELD and REF_TABLE name.

x_fieldcat-ref_field = 'ZFIELDNAME'.
x_fieldcat-ref_table = 'TABLENAME'.

Hi Diana,

Welcome to SDN

When you set the field catalog you have to set option F4AVAILABL to 'X'.

If w_fcat is the field catalog structure then set as

w_fact-F4AVAILABL = 'X'
w_fact-CHECKTABLE = 'SCARR'
w_fact-REF_TABLE = 'SPFLI'
w_fact-REF_FIELD = 'CARRID'.

Refer the standard program BCALV_TEST_GRID_F4_HELP and BCALV_GRID_EDIT_DELTA

Please go through this thread for sample code

Hope this would help you.

Good luck

Narin

Hi,

the reports/functions are no longer required and F4AVAILABL is not supported (as in ECC 6.0).

examle:


  fieldcatalog-ref_fieldname = 'FRGKZ'.
  fieldcatalog-ref_tabname = 'EBAN'.

is sufficient if the field has a correponding matchcode.
