ALV Layout Variant Information

[VikasB]

Hello,

I have requirement where I need to validate the ALV Layout for any particular Report. For this I am using function module 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE'.

Now if this layout is valid I need to get it's all parameters such as on which fileds SORT, FILTER, etc.. criteria is applied. I tried using below function modules but had not any success. Those only validate the layout variant but do not return SORT, FILTER tables.

- REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_SELECT

- K_KKB_LIST_LAYOUT_INFO_GET

- LVC_VARIANT_SELECT

- LT_VARIANT_LOAD

- LT_VARIANTS_READ_FROM_LTDX

I am not using ALV grid Object to get all this information after displaying data on ALV. I just need to validate that layout for report and then fetch it's all information.

Is there any FM or class-methods which I can use for this?

Thanks,

Vikas

try this:

CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_VARIANT_EXISTENCE_CHECK'

EXPORTING

i_save = gdf_variant_save

CHANGING

cs_variant = gds_variant

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 01.

I can validate the layout with function module 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE', I need all parameters for that layout.

Thanks,

Check LT_DBDATA_READ_FROM_LTDX - Just check the function group SKBS for list of fm's

SELECT SINGLE * FROM ltdx

WHERE variant = p_var

AND report = sy-repid.

if sy-subrc = 0.

is_varkey-report = ltdx-report.

is_varkey-handle = ltdx-handle.

is_varkey-log_group = ltdx-log_group.

is_varkey-username = ltdx-username.

is_varkey-variant = ltdx-variant.

is_varkey-type = ltdx-type.

call fm here

endif.

Thanks Keshav, this FM worked fine.

Just one more issue how can we apply filter criteria to the internal table? I am having one internal table data and now I want to apply this filter parameters to that internal table. I am not displaying that internal table data with ALV grid or something so I can not pass the layout or filter information to it.

Thanks,

Use

- For the old structure of SLIS type pool, use REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_SELECT

- For the OO/LVC DDIC structure, use LVC_VARIANT_SELECT

But you must provide most of the parameters of those FM to get something (don't forget a default fieldcat to increase success chance)
