Problem with field label

Former Member — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 06:45:47 GMT

Hello All,

I am having a strange problem with field label? I have created a table with three fields one is MANDT and and the remaining fields as PATID and PATNA.

I am maintaining the field label for these fields, but still i am not getting the names of the fields while i am calling the structure in my alv tree.

I d'nt know what is the problem here?

can any one tell me how can i solve this issue?

Regards,

Lisa

wa_fieldcat- SCRTEXT_L= 'MATERIAL'.

Hi lisa,

This is not the problem with Data Dictionary,

While declaring the fieldcatalogue for thr GRID.

CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'

EXPORTING
I_BUFFER_ACTIVE =

I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'ZTABLE'

I_CLIENT_NEVER_DISPLAY = 'X'
I_BYPASSING_BUFFER =

CHANGING

ct_fieldcat = gt_fieldcat

EXCEPTIONS
INCONSISTENT_INTERFACE = 1
PROGRAM_ERROR = 2
OTHERS = 3

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

If gt_fieldcat-fieldname = 'PATID'.

gs_fieldcat-ref_field = 'ZTABLE'.

modify gt_fieldcat from gs_fieldcat.

clear gs_fieldcat.

endif.

Because while calling the FM it is populatinh the fieldname

so you need to modify the fieldcatalogue with fieldname then it will pick the field labels from the Dictionary.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Regards,

Hello Shiva,

I know this solution but my question is why i am not getting the field label name automatically? How do get the fieldname?

I am calling the function module 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE' in order to get the attributes automatically.

Lisa

Hello Madhavi,

I have already did that but still the problem persist. When i am passing the structure Sbook to LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE i don't have this problem but when i pass my structure to the above FM, i have this problem.

Lisa

Do these fields (PATID and PATNA) have data elements assigned to them? If not, assign data elements to them and the text labels from the data elements should show up in your ALV headers.

please Check the data elemnts assigned to your fields should have fieldlabels defined.

you can check this by doble clickinmg on table field it will go to data element screen from where check 3 rd tab.

you will find 4 filed lables defined there . like for matnr

Length Field label

Short 10 Material

Medium 15 Material

Long 20 Material

Heading 18 Material

these are pulled in Alv. please chk the fild lables.

if you are using some standard data elemnt which doesnt have this.

you may need to cvraete z data elemnts to satisfy the requirement.

Hi,

use any one of the way

1. Give text in field catelog manualy

2. give Dic ref while creating Field catelog

3. use FM to create field catelog.
