ALV Reference Field

[Murali_Shanmu]

Hi

I have want to display a custom label for a field in ALV. But that field uses REFERENCE Table and Field name. hence the label for that column is picked from dictionary level. I even used SEL_TEXT_L of the fieldCatalog, But still the text maintained in Dataelement of the REF field is only displayed.

Here is the code:

CLEAR LS_FIELDCAT.

LS_FIELDCAT-COL_POS = 10.

LS_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = TEXT-032.

LS_FIELDCAT-TABNAME = GC_TAB.

LS_FIELDCAT-REF_TABNAME = 'MYTABLE'.

LS_FIELDCAT-REF_FIELDNAME = 'MYFIELD'.

LS_FIELDCAT-OUTPUTLEN = 8.

LS_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_L = TEXT-012.

You remove the reference table then you can get the text. I think it is because you are giving only Long text ie seltext_l give others too then you can get the text you want

Hi Muralidaran,

Try this out...

CLEAR LS_FIELDCAT.

LS_FIELDCAT-COL_POS = 10.

LS_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = 'MYFIELD'.

LS_FIELDCAT-TABNAME = GC_TAB.

LS_FIELDCAT-OUTPUTLEN = 8.

Reward points if the answer was helpful...

Murali,

Try maintaining the values for

LS_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_M

LS_FIELDCAT-SELTEXT_s

as well, _L will work only when you have the column width set to max.

Hi Murali,

Move your custom text to FIELDCAT-REPTEXT_DDIC
