cl_salv_table --needs editable functionality -SAP please provide this

Former Member — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:04:15 GMT

Hi everybody

The new cl_salv_table class is fine for a lot of things but it definitely needs EDIT type of functionality -- doesn't need a huge amount but the user should be able to edit individual cell(s) and insert / delete lines as with the current cl_gui_alv_grid.

To show SAP that this function is needed just postunder this a single line Agree.

If enough replies come back I'm sure SAP will consider this in future.

I'd love to do a Poll but this Forum doesn't seem to have that facility available.

Cheers

We need this definately !

Currently I'm using *alv for editable tables and *salv for view tables, that's not satisfactorily.

Furthermore the *alv API disagrees with the modern *salv OO concept.

Hope SAP will implement the edit issue in *salv !

Olaf

Add me to this list. I can't believe they didn't provide this. I just found out about this issue today from one of our developers who was using the old grid (reuse_alv) because of this issue.

Since all of our employees went to the new grid (cl_salv) class and don't know the old grid other than from examples, now we've got an issue because we stated up front to all of our contractors that only the new grid was to be used.

I know what SAP is going to say - use a dialog - that's a major pain compared to the old grid way. And now I've got a standards issue on my hands - oh what fun.

Count me in. I haven't used this new ALV OM a lot yet, but I've discovered this edit mode lack yesterday on a thread while searching for another functionality.

I just couldn't believe it. What would happen if you develop a fairly complicated program using CL_SALV* classes and then the user requests to "just add editing capability on this field and we're done" (which is quite common)? Half of the program would have to be redone using CL_GUI_ALV_GRID?

I've tried a bit of "Old Fashioned" Hacking --- hope the US military are not reading this or I might be extradited to the US to serve 50 years in jail for "Terrorism" (referring to what the US are attempting to do to one of our UK citizens at the moment).

Inheriting the the cl_salv class doesn't actually help as this cl_salv_class makes calls all over the place and by the time you are done you are better off using the cl_gui_alv_grid anyway.

I certainly can understand the concept of making a quick easy callable ALV display has attractions but as people have posted users often want an "Editable" facility after a report has been designed.

I'm actually surprised this wasn't built in to the factory model.

I am happy about the work-around. But I still think it should be available from cl_salv_table without that. It's annoying that SAP seems to have abandoned OO ALV in favor of webdynpro.

Even i like the workaround I too think that there should be and "offical" (and supportet) way of makin an SALV Grid editable

Hi Flavio,

Do you mean the ALV editable functionality is now available in CL_SALV_TABLE? If yes, can you explain which method you used?

Cheers,

Jodie

To be fair, the V stands for Viewer, not Editor (cos that would make it ALE and confusing ). SAP should never have opened the original viewer code up for editing.

Re: cl_salv_table --needs editable functionality -SAP please provide this

Former Member — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 07:20:07 GMT

so in that case if V stands for viewing there must come an class

CL_SALE_TABLE for the editing which inherits all the methods from CL_SALV_TABLE.

question remains the same. we also stick to reuse_alv since the class is not complete with the edit mode.

kind regards
