ALV Layout Variant Issue

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

In my ALV report there are two Layout variants.

a) Default Layout - /DEFAULT created by someone else earlier.

b) User specific - created and saved by me (name CS Layout)

I am using this function module

 alv_variant-report = sy-repid.
  alv_variant-username = sy-uname.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'
    EXPORTING
      i_save     = 'U'
    CHANGING
      cs_variant = xalv_variant
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found  = 2.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    p_vari = xalv_variant-variant.
  ENDIF.

PROBLEM: Even though I am passing user specific information to this FM, but it is returning me the Default layout, but

I want the user specific layout(CS Layout) which I created and saved.

Please help !

In selection screen output set the default variant using REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET

Provide value request help using REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4

Set the display variant before calling ALV display using REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_SELECT

[Former Member]

Can you please explain in more detail ?

Thanks

[kesavadas_thekkillath]

You have to set it using REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_SELECT

[Former Member]

Can you please show me how to set it !

[kesavadas_thekkillath]

Im sorry i didnt get your question clearly before

Can you check it with 'A' and see whether it returns all the layouts.

[Former Member]

It was initially 'A' only.

Not working with 'A' also.

[Former Member]

The source code inside FM is

 case i_save.
    when 'A' or 'U'.------------>'A' or 'U'
      l_user_specific = 'X'.
    when 'X' or space.
      l_user_specific = space.
    when others.
      message e533(0k) with i_save raising wrong_input.
  endcase.

Its the same whether you pass U or A

Lakshman.

Hi Chandan,

alv_variant-report = sy-repid.
  alv_variant-username = sy-uname.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'
    EXPORTING
      i_save     = 'U'
    CHANGING
      cs_variant = xalv_variant
    EXCEPTIONS
      not_found  = 2.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    p_vari = xalv_variant-variant---------->What does this variable contain.
  ENDIF.

You are not populating any value to the variable xalv_variant,again you are passing it again to p_vari.

Check this link once.

[REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY - layout variant|;

Have a look at rich's reply

That FM will return LAYOUT.....

P_vari will contain the Layout and Layout text along with report name.

That is the issue, the FM is returning DEFAULT layout and not the one I created.

Hi Chandan,

Do not pass the program name using sy-repid. Hard code the value of the program and then pass.

The problem here is sy-repid changes once it enters into the function module.

Go through this standard program once BCALV_GRID_09

Lakshman.

sy-repid is okay. I checked . It is not changing.

I guess the issue is somewhere else.

Please help

You are populating the variable alv_variant and passing xalv_varaint to the FM.

Is it correct?

[Former Member]

Yes lakshman....

[Former Member]

Hi Chandan ,

When you created the user specific variant , did you set it the default varaint for the user . if not please set it as the default varaint for the user and check if it works fine.

Hi Arun

Can u please tel me how to set it ?

example !

Thanks

[Former Member]

Hi Chandan ,

If i remember it correctly , when you create the varaint , in the screen where you enter the varaint name and other details there is a check box ,to set the varaint as default ,please check if this is correct or not.

I have awarded points to Lakshman.

Issue solved.

Reason: Need to SAVE layouts with DEFAULT SETTINGS. Only then the FM will return user specific layout variants.

Anyways thanks a lot to all you folks.
