Adding layout variant to selection screen

Former Member — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 09:07:44 GMT

Hi all,

Currently I am working on report program, where I have to allow user to select his own output pattern. i.e layout variant is to be added to selection screen. The report uses object oriented ALV for display purpose. [set_table_for_first_display]

I made following steps,

1. Declared one parameter of type disvariant.

2. At selection-screen on value-request I called function REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4.

3. Passed internal table to method set_table_for_first_display.

Now I am able to create save new variant, on selection screen I can select the variant that I have created, but output shows the all the fields though

Only few are selected. Please tell me any modification so as to reflect the changes in output.

I am searching for a function which maintains fieldcat according to user defined variant.

Regards,

Nilesh kulkarni.

Yes I have defined a internal table of type disvariant and confirmed that it contains value before passing to display method, while debugging i could read the values in internal table, but the changing parameter c_layout remains blank.

U have to use REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE inorder to use the layout u have selected

After ur code of REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4.

try this way

AT SELECTION-SCREEN.

PERFORM PAI_OF_SELECTION_SCREEN.

G_REPID = SY-REPID.

G_SAVE = 'A'.

FORM PAI_OF_SELECTION_SCREEN .

IF NOT P_LAYOUT IS INITIAL.

MOVE G_VARIANT TO GX_VARIANT.

MOVE P_LAYOUT TO GX_VARIANT-VARIANT.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE'

EXPORTING

I_SAVE = G_SAVE

CHANGING

CS_VARIANT = GX_VARIANT.

G_VARIANT = GX_VARIANT.

ELSE.

PERFORM VARIANT_INIT.

ENDIF.

ENDFORM. " PAI_OF_SELECTION_SCREEN

FORM variant_init .

CLEAR G_VARIANT.

G_VARIANT-REPORT = G_REPID.

ENDFORM. " variant_init

Then when u call ALV for display, pass ur display variant, in this case = g_variant

Reward if useful

Cheers
