HI Yogi,

SLIS is a type group.., where all the declaractions required for the ALV list generation are stored !!

and about this FIELDCATALOg..

In the function module we have on parameter I_STRUCTURE .. this parameter accepts the dictionary structures !!

suppose if u are generating an ALV display for the SPFLI table's data . hope u want to print all the fields of the table .. then u can go for the option I_STRUCTURE and pass 'SPFLI' to this parameter !!

Now the list contains all the fields along with their column headings ,, and column widths .. taken from dictionary structure SPFLI..

But if u want to print Onli two fields CARRID and CONNID.. then u cannot use the I_STRUCTURE option.. now u need to go for the FIELDCATALOg..

Here u can prints onli those columns which u want.. u can customize ur ALV list output using this parameter !!

hi ramesh,

tht's clear for me.but my doubt is that with out fieldcatalog can we able to write a alv report.if it's possible then wat is the use of field catalog.

You can color a particular column, you can give different column heading , you can make a particular column editable .., like so many options are there !!

GOTO the documentation of this parameter ( In SE37 transaction open the fm REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLA and in this goto the parameter IT_FIELDCATALOG's Documentation)

these many options are there for fieldcatalog paramter !!

Your question is very right !!

There is <i>no need</i> of making a field catalog when u are using a standard table from the SAP ..

<b> field catalog is to tell the system what you want to display</b> .. u need it only when :

1. change the order of display of standard table fields or

2.mix tables with join or

3.define your own fields along with standard table fields, then u need to tell the system about it.

Hi Eswar,

Yes,we can do so.See this standard program<b> BCALV_EDIT_02</b>.

Here field catalog is not used</b>

Hi,

slis is a type pool,in type pools we can define variables and constants.

all the variables which are useful for alv reporting will be available in slis.

with out creating fieldcat alv reporting is not possible.

fieldcat gives the output structue.

but without using reuse_fieldcat_merge we can create a fieldcat manually.

check this code which has two ways of creating fieldcat.

REPORT ZBHALV_LIST_GRID2.

TABLES:MARA.

DATA:BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR,

ERSDA LIKE MARA-ERSDA,

ERNAM LIKE MARA-ERNAM,

MBRSH LIKE MARA-MBRSH,

END OF ITAB.

TYPE-POOLS:SLIS.

DATA:AFIELD TYPE SLIS_FIELDCAT_ALV.

DATA:FIELDCAT1 TYPE SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV.

Hi

For better understandability go thru slis once.

hi,

field catalog is used to specify the output display characteristics of the fields.

without field catalog also u can display alv but u have to specify the database table or structure.

[Former Member]

Hi,

SLIS is a TYPE-POOLS, there we have all the global declarations, if you look at this from SE11, there press display, then you will find all the global declarations in this one.

The field catalog is defined in the Data Dictionary through table type LVC_T_FCAT . Each row of the field catalog table explains a field in your output table. Depending on whether a reference structure exists in the DDIC or not, you must at least fill the following fields of the field catalog structure for each field

FIELDNAME

REF_TABLE

REF_FIELD

HI,

All the definitions of internal tables, structures and Constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.

u can write an alv report even without field catlog but u need 2 pass the standard structure like spfli, mara to it_structure.

reward points if helpful.

Hi Yogi,

Check out these links : top one is on slis specifcally,

Reward if useful !!

[Former Member]

Hi Eswar,

SLIS is the standard <b>TYPE GROUP</b>,where definitions are created for global use....

And field catalog is one of the interface parameter,Actually it is internal table.

To set attributes to the fields which are there on the screen.

Say for example: I want the first to be desplayed in RED color,second with some other...

not only this very option are there......see <b>LVC_S_FCAT</b> structure for more info.

Yes,we can do so.See this standard program BCALV_EDIT_02.

<b>

Here field catalog is not used in this standard program.

Just giving Structure itself is enough.</b>
