ALV problem (with filter use)

Former Member — Thu, 30 Mar 2006 10:03:59 GMT

Hi all !!

When using standard filter (F4) on ALV grid (called with fm 'Reuse_alv_grid_display') it is genreated the choosing-list.

But values on that list are shorter than should be.

For example: for char value 'ABCDEFGHIJ' diplayed on alv list, only 'ABCD' is visible. After choosing it only 'ABCD' is set in filter what is of course unacceptable. Sombody know how to fix that ??

Hi,

This is a known error in SAP. Take a look at the following Notes:

<a href="https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/_{form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700008072762001">212869 - ALV filter: Incorrect output length on filter popup</a>[url=https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/}form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700007402692001]174840 - ALV-filter: F4-help with smaller column width [/url]

<a href="https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700008402582001">381360 - ALV filter: Recommendations and known errors</a>

According to the Note 381360:

"Fields with an Outputlen < Intlen are truncated on the filter dialog box.

With an Outputlen < Intlen, the Intlen is not used as the minimum length As a result, the values of reduced columns on the ALV cannot be displayed completely in the filter and this leads to incorrect filter results. "

There is no solution Note listed for these two symptoms, so maybe there is no fix yet? However, I suggest you check all the "Related Notes" for Note 381360 because one of these might contain a fix for what you described.

Best Regards,

Hi,

I'm having the same problem in CRM as the original poster.

If the first value in the column has 5 letters it will truncate the values in the other fields to a length of 5. For example, if "ABCDE" is the first value and "LMNOPQRST" is the second. When I try filter the options will be

"ABCDE" and "LMNOP"

Does anyone know a solution to this or if there is a note for this? Note 174840 isn't applicable to CRM

Solution: In the fieldcatalog set the edit_mask to "==ALPHA"
