Accessing Sender parameter attribute in event hander method implementation

[Former Member]

Hello knowledgeable friends.

I would like a single event handler to manage two alv grid objects. There is a parameter SENDER that is available in the method implementations to say which object triggered the event. I would like to get at the attribute MT_OUTTAB but this syntax does not work:

local_variable = sender->mt_outtab

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ok, MT_OUTTAB is a protected Attribute. I would settle for just the name of the Sender. This code checks:

call method sender->get_name RECEIVING name = l_name.

but l_name is empty. I was hoping for 'GRID1'; when I created the object I used:

CREATE OBJECT alvgrid

EXPORTING

i_parent = container_top

i_name = 'GRID1'.
