ALV Layout

Former Member — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 09:46:31 GMT

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to restrict the naming of ALV layouts to a certain pattern? For instance we've done this with programs by implementing BAdI CTS_CURRENT_PROJECT and comparing the program name against certain patterns which are stored in a Z table. However, we are not able to find a way to do this whi ALV layouts.

Any ideas?

Hi,

You can add a logic to get the desired name to a variable. Then try this

'REUSE_ALV_GRID_LAYOUT_INFO_GET'

DATA: ls_var TYPE disvariant.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_LAYOUT_INFO_GET'

IMPORTING

es_variant = ls_var

EXCEPTIONS

no_infos = 1

program_error = 2

OTHERS = 3.

Hi Rachit,

Thanks for your anwser but I want to restrict this in any ALV layout in the system, not just to a specific program.

Hi Marco,

You can try table LTDX. A small program to manipulate the values stored in it may help.

Try to put a break-point to FM as LT_FC_SAVE (or similar FM/Class) to identify an implict enhancement option to use, you could raise WRONG_INPUT error with a message when IS_VARIANT doesnt comply with your rules (and if I_TOOL = 'LT') at start of form, you could also yadd some AUTHORITY CHECK to drive your checks (*)

NB: You can find this and similar spots, thru where-used of EXPORT TO DATABASE LTDX(LT)

(*) you must, as you don't really want to raise error when system as user DDIC or SAPxxx imports some SP, Add-on or note

Thanks, it worked with an implicit enhancement
