i'm not sure what is the requirement but can you alter the condition with <fs_final2> type any and do the processing.

but if you have to reflect in the std table/structure then i hope you have to do the addition from source.

Hello Jack,

Whenever an internal table is defined like:

'itab type standard table', it means that the itab does not have a fixed structure and hence a specific column cannot be added/deleted from it.

As per my understanding, somewhere In the standard code, a dynamic internal table might have been created. If yes, then you need to add the new column there in the fielcatalog.

Hope this helps,

Hello,

If the class being used in CL_GUI_ALV_GRID and the whole ALV Grid needs to be made editable for the user, we can use the IS_LAYOUT structure used in the method SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY. In the structure, pass the field EDIT = 'X'.

Hi Jack,

Try to figure out where is the code for building fieldcatalog.

You just need to add 1 more column in fieldcatalog of ALV.

While filling dynamic internal table, fill that field also.
