Hi,

If I have understood your problem correctly, you can hide a table element by looping through the table control and setting cols-invisible to 'X'. Try

data: wa_cols type cxtab-column.

controls: tc_a type tableview using screen xxx.

tc_a is the table control

loop at tc_a-cols into wa_cols.

check wa_cols-screen-name = tc_a-element_to_be_hidden.

wa_cols-invisible = 'X'.

modify tc_a-cols from wa_cols

endloop.

Hi!

Kevin, I think you misunderstood the problem. The problem is not to hide a field.

In an SAP screen's display mode if the field type is numeric (numc, dec or int) and if it has the initial value, a "0" or "0,0..." is displayed in the field.

It really disturbs and I do not know a solution for this. May there be some reason which we cannot think of about this?

I agree with Kevin, Standard functionality will always place the "0" into the field in display mode. I believe its part of the gui, and that there is no way to change this behavior. You can get around that by "hiding" the field if the contents are = 0 as Kevin has suggested.

Good thinking Kevin.

If you don't want to have the field displayed 0.00 or 0 on screen, have a screen field with CHAR or NUMC and pass the field values to this field...

Thanks

Hello,

if You use a numeric data-type of course zero is valid!

A solution is, to use a character data-type-field and

write the bumeric value into it using NO-ZERO.

write: gn_value to gt_tabcntrl-svalue no-zero.

In this case, i strongly suggest to supress all the

calculate icons using the exlude-tab!

Yes - Please use CHAR data type... It should work...

Hi folks!

I just mean that there is no solution for not displaying that dummy "0"s in numeric fields. And I claimed that hiding the field is not a proper solution for most cases.

But if the field type is changed to "char", naturally problem vanishes. However, at that time, you have a character-type field for which you have to check for user's alphanumeric inputs.
