Default Values in table control!

Former Member — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:34:57 GMT

Hi All,

I have a created a table control in modulepool, where I have language,material and description as columns. The requirement is to have english(EN) as default in all rows and non editable.

This should be applicable for all lines...

as of now I tried showing 10 lines as default rows with EN as language. But after pressing enter, new rows are not getting editable. I dont think this is right approach..

any ideas/approach on this would go a long way.

Thanks & Regards

Please search on sdn you will find many example. Headstart is you have to initializae the parameter TC_TABLE_CONTROL-LINES dynamically in PBO.

Thanks Nabheet for your reply,

In PBO of the screen, I wrote this but I dont think this is good way of doing. I did search on sdn, couldnt get much help.

Can you please elaborate on this ?

IF it_copy_to_mat IS INITIAL .
    DO 20 TIMES.
      CLEAR w_copy_to_mat.
      w_copy_to_mat-lang = 'EN'.
      APPEND w_copy_to_mat TO  it_copy_to_mat.
      CLEAR w_copy_to_mat.
    ENDDO.
  ENDIF.

Thanks & regards

Hi Nabheet,

My requirement is like this : I have a table control in which there are three columns. Material , Material description, Language.

As part of requirement, the language is always to be EN only. So I need to have EN as default value and non editable in all rows.

So user will fill value for rest two columns only which are editable.

As I mentioned in my earlier post , I wrote the code in PBO for default value as EN in say twenty rows. But I dont think that is write of doing it.

Thanks & Regards

Okie..You can simply keep the column as input disabled while designing and in PAI loop default the value to EN inside Loop endloop.

Well, don't do it in the PBO; do it in the PAI if any other field is completed.
