ALV Field catalog problem

[Former Member]

Hi All

I am doing field catalog merge for a structure using the FM

'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE' . I am passing the structure to this FM.

Initially there were 14 fields in the structure. I added a new field

and activated the structure. But it still shows only 14 fields instead of 15.

Please Reply ASAP.

Thanks.

Hi,

Use the fieldcatalog table used under changing parameter

ct_fieldcat = fieldcat

loop at fieldcat.

if fieldcat-fieldname = 'FIELDNAME'. 
fieldcat-no_OUT = 'X'.
fieldcat-tech = 'X'.
modify fieldcat.
endif.
endloop.

Thanks,

Hi,

CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
EXPORTING
I_BUFFER_ACTIVE = 'X'      " Put this as X
I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT'
I_CLIENT_NEVER_DISPLAY = 'X'
I_BYPASSING_BUFFER = 'X'      " Put this as X
I_INTERNAL_TABNAME =
CHANGING
ct_fieldcat = fieldcat
EXCEPTIONS
INCONSISTENT_INTERFACE = 1
PROGRAM_ERROR = 2
OTHERS = 3.

Yes, go in debug mode.Keep a break point at K_KKB_FIELDCAT_MERGE.

This fm has following code. Keep a break point in second ALV_CHECK_BUFFER.

call function 'ALV_CHECK_BUFFER'

exporting

i_buffer_type = 'A'

i_buffer_active = i_buffer_active

i_bypassing_buffer = i_bypassing_buffer

i_refresh_buffer = ' '

importing

e_import = l_import

e_export = l_export

e_delete = l_delete.

call function 'ALV_CHECK_BUFFER'

exporting

i_buffer_type = 'B'

i_buffer_active = i_buffer_active

i_bypassing_buffer = i_bypassing_buffer

i_refresh_buffer = ' '

importing

e_import = l_import_b

e_export = l_export_b

e_delete = l_delete_b.

After the second ALV_CHECK_BUFFER executes, clear value of variable l_import_b. This will help you to see new added fields to your structure in report output.

Hello Praveena

The ALV function group buffers the structure data. If this problem occurs simple "reboot" the transaction (enter<b> /NSE80</b> into command window, top left) and execute your program again.
