former_member194669 — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 16:12:19 GMT

Hi,

I have a ALV report (OOp) within i have column as checkbox. The heading for this column is of length 2. But while in report display system showing this column as displaying the length of 8 character width.

I have already check the following paratmers :

gt_fieldcatalog-outputlen = 3

gt_fieldcatalog-col_opt = 'X'.

gs_layout-cwidth_opt = 'X'

After setting above said parameters still system is showing 8 character width of column

Any info?

Thanks

Hi,

If the field is referred to the Dictionary field, then the length will come for that Dctionary field ..

look at the below link, This link will have all the field catalog fields ..

Hi,

It field declared as checkbox is dictionary field and have a length 2. But i don't figure why it is showing length of 8 as column width?

Can you paste all the field catalog entries for that field ? also, while debugging check whether any field whoch is not cleared is affecting it ?

By declaring outputlen = 2 also system giving the column width for checkbox is showing 8.

multiple points of confusion..

I agree that i_hts has a field for status .. but what is it populated with ?

looking at your code, i assume, the check box field is showing contents (assuming properties) of the field which is displayed just before that column.

is this correct ? ls_fcat-fieldname = ynetstat-status. i doubt.

try changing it to

ls_fcat-fieldname = 'STATUS'.

ls_fcat-tabname = 'YNETSTAT'.

but, how can the system know, the values of ynetstat-status ? cos, the itab which u pass is i_hts .

Hi,

My field catalog is like


   FIELDNAME                       CHECKBOX           OUTPUTLEN
                                                              
 YFIELDNAME                     |                  |000000    
 CR                             |X                 |000002    
 A2                             |X                 |000002

and <i_hts> looks like


YFIELDNAME                     A2 AE AP C5 C6 C7 CA CC CE CR
                                                            
NUMOVL                        |X |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |   
LOADRANGE                     |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |X

Thanks

Ok.

for second line in field catalog, fieldname = 'CR', . that means, while executing, it will look into table <i_hts> for contents of a field named, CR to display under this column.

But we dont have a field named CR in that table.

I have noticed many time,s that when a field which a field catalog refers to is missing, it just display one of the previous field in that internal table. I guess that is what happening in ur case.

Hi,

Here fieldcatalog contains not all the field are available in the <i_hts> table. Here <i_hts> may contains more fields that all fields are not mandatory to be available in fieldcatalog.

Hi,

you may forget about all the fieldcatalog hassle. Use the ALV Object Model (cl_salv_table)
