Exist Optional parameter for field catalog ?

Former Member — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 09:49:39 GMT

Hi,

Can I pass the optional parameter for field catalog. I mean I use only one field catalog setting for many grids. I don't want to fill SPACE for blank field for the last parameter.

Please tell me ABAP has a function like I said which exist in Ms.Visual Studio.

Thank you very much.

Regards,

TRA

Hi,

you can use the field

TECH = 'X'

the field wont be dispayed in ALV itself.

But better use seperate structure for specific purpose.

then use FM REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE or LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE.

Ravi.

Hello Ravi,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I don't mean no output in output screen.

We need to write all parameter value when calling field catalog setting form. But I don't want to write last 2 parameter.

for example:

Add_FieldCat form has 5 things.(REF_TABLE, FIELDNAME,COL_POS,KEY,EDIT)

I called this form for 2 alv grid.

for 1st Grid,

All 5 parameters is passed to the Add_FieldCat Form.

for 2nd Grid,

Only first 3 parameters is passed to the Add_FieldCat Form.

In Visual Basic,

We use "optional" keyword for this kind of parameter passing. Thus, in ABAP, can I use lke that for parameter passing.

Hi,

If i understand requirement correctly , in the second grid you can simply omit the fields which you dont want. there wont be any syntax issue.

if you want to write all fields and , if you dont want to display some fileds then you can use

FIELDCAT-TECH = 'X'

only for those fields.
