Click on the SAVE button to create a variant. Here there is a "Hide Field" column, simply click on the fields you want to hide.

Hi,

I am not sure which fields you are referring to. Is it the fields on the section screen or some other. Further if the fields are mandatory why do you want to hide them?

Can you please explain the purpose of doing this then maybe somebody can help you.

Regards

You wrote about this, but not very clearly at all.

First you say "I want to hide field", then in the next sentence "I don't want to hide field"!!!!

Here is what I did and it works perfectly.

Screen has asset and subnumber:

Now I HIDE these in the variant:

and bingo, they are not in the selection screen:

If this is not what you want then please get some help to explain in clear English your requirement.

If you want to hide the asset number/sub-number on the output, you can do that with a default ALV layout since this is an ALV report. However users would be able to adjust the layout to see the fields if they want to. If you have to make sure users can't do this, I think you'd have to make a copy of the report and set the field catalog TECH value to "X" when the field catalog is created.

Hi,

Variant showed by Glen Anthony hides fields only at selection screen. Selection screen is to remain
unchanged. I want to hide asset number/sub-number further, after executed report, on the output. It is only for special user, not all. For almost users this fields will be visible.

I think, that will be needed to make a copy of report as say Jim Tasker. Could you explain me better your
solution?

Then this can simply be maintained by each individual user in the alv Layout option.

Hi,

I had to use ABAP. This is not only another Layout option.
