Former Member

Hello,

In the class cl_salv_column, there is a method set_technical. Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of this? what does it mean if a column is set as technical?

Regards

Nithya

Hello Nithya,

it means that the column is hidden. It does not appear on the screen and cannot made visible interactive either.

It hides it, say for example, you have your internal table defined like so.

data: ispfli type table of spfli.

You know that the columns will be based off of this statement, and you must know that MANDT will be included. Using the SET_TECHNICAL method, you can hide this field as you probably don't want it in your output ALV Grid.
