Save variant

Former Member — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:15:05 GMT

Hello !

I have developed a ALV report, and included the icon ICON_ALV_VARIANTS with function code &OL0. With this icon, the user can change the way it see the report, hide columns or show other ones. But the report doesn't show the option to save that variant, so the user can load in a easy way later.

What do I have to do, so the user can save his variant.

Thanks,

Javier

Hi,

You have the following EXPORTING parameters in my function module:

I_DEFAULT = 'X'

I_SAVE = 'A' "<=== this is to be global & user IS_VARIANT = VARIANT

VARIANT has the program's name in the REPORT field.

The "user-specific saving" needs a special authorization: 
Authority-check object 'S_ALV_LAYO' id 'ACTVT' field '23', you can 
avoid this authorization with IS_LAYOUT-NO_AUTHOR = 'X'.

Regards

Hello Javier,

This functionality is already existing with ALV.

In the application toll bar you can these three butoon for this option.

There is no need to implement new codes for this.
