ALV Grid Control: Subtotal Collapse

[Former Member]

Hello, I've recently programmed a report using the ALV grid control using the OO methods. For some reason when a user does a total and/or a subtotal, they are not able to click the total/subtotal line to collapse (summarize). Has anyone else experienced this? I'm sure there must be a solution. Thanks.

for that you need to use expa of sort option.

when you are filling the sort table set the parameter EXPA to 'X'

sort-fieldname = 'ABCDE'.
sort-up = 'X'.
sort-subtot = 'X'.
sort-expa = 'X'.      "this is important
append sort to it_sort.

I'm not using the sort parameter, I'm using the standard provided total/subtotal buttons. I tried implementing this and it did not work how I expected. When hitting the total button, it automatically subtotalled and collapsed the records. I was not able to click the icon to the right of my sorted field to expand.

I want to be able to use the white icon on the subtotalled field to expand and collapse just as you can using SE16n and other alv controlled reports.

Hi,

Does this happen in all of the OO ALV Grid programs?

Standard sample program BCALV_FIELDCAT_TEST allows the interactive collapse/expand on subtotal. Sum a column and then subtotal on a specific column. That subtotalled column will have a white icon in the subtotal line that you can click on and collapse records.

If you do the same on sample program BCALV_EDIT_08, you will see the white icon in the subtotal row, but you can't collapse. This is the same issue I'm having in my program. I'm not seeing the problem. Is there a control or parameter that needs setting?

You have to make your ALV as output only inorder to get the expand collapse button working.

I ran the program BCALV_EDIT_08.

I did the total on the Lug. weight

Than I did the subtotal on the Flight No (2nd column)

I have tried to collapse the subtotal .. but it didn't work. When I move cursor over to collapse field , the icon for Hotspot is not coming.

I pressed F5 and it changed the look of the ALV. Now the selection field has gone from the ALV

and Surprisingly, I am able to Collapse and expand the Total and Subtotal line becuase when I move the cursor on the Expand collapse button, I got the Hotspot.

When we press F5, it changes the layout and making the ALV ... only for output.

    call method g_grid->set_ready_for_input               
                    exporting i_ready_for_input = 0.      "<<

That's wild, I just tried as you described and it did the same thing. What is F5? If I try that on my custom program it does nothing. Time to debug Thanks for the hint. Maybe something will come of this.

That is it, thank you so much. This was a little bug I've tried to figure out for a long time.
