Getting fields from Layout Variant ?

Former Member — Thu, 29 May 2008 11:46:55 GMT

Hello All,

I have created a Report using ALV OOPS.

This report has a Layout Variant as a SSCRN Parameter.

Say I've 10 fields in my internal table.

The STANDARD Layout Variant has been created with all the 10 fields.

A user-specific layout variant has been created with 3 fields out of 10 fields.

Now I want to know which 3 fields have been used in that layout variant so that I can use that date for further processing .

Regrads,

      CALL METHOD G_GRID->GET_FRONTEND_FIELDCATALOG
        IMPORTING
          ET_FIELDCATALOG = TEMP_FCAT .

Call this method after SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY.

Hello Andrey,

I used this method earlier.

But I'm getting all the fields into the fieldcatalog .(as per my example all 10 fields ).

But I need only those fields which are being displayed as part of the layout variant selected.

I used the FM 'LT_DBDATA_READ_FROM_LTDX' to which I can pass the Layout Variant Name .

But even this FM is returning me all the 10 fields.

Any other clues ?

FM worked correct. You always get 10 fields from there. But if you look at fieldcatalog after FM, you can see that filed NO_OUT on 3 fileds has value 'X'.

Try to loop at fieldcatalog table with NO_OUT IS INITIAL with append lines into new fieldcatalog table.

PS: First method is worked too.

Good luck.
