ALV Grid - Remove Drop Down List from specific fields

[Former Member]

Hi,

This is in regards to the ALV Grid, which I output using Function Module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.

Many of the fields have a drop-down list (sort of like a box that appears on the right hand side when the field is selected.)

How can I remove this drop-down list option from the fields that have the option?

Please Help.

Thanks,

John

Hi,

That document does not include any information on removing a drop-down box from a field.

Usually these fields are related to domain with a list of value. You need to modify the field catalog to redefine these fields without the DDIC link.

<i>in fieldcat clear fields rollname, ref_fieldname, ref_tabname.</i>

Will removing what you stated have any effect on how the field is named in the column or what information will be availble when pressing F1 to check on the fields related structure/table?

[RaymondGiuseppi]

You will lose F1 as soon as you lose F4 (drill down list are in fact a kind of F4 invite)

If you built the catalog via REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE the column text are stored in the fieldcat, so they will be kept.

So, to make sure, removing f4 from a specific field would also remove f1?

If I were to use the FM you mentioned, how would I remove the drop down (same way)
