ALV - variant layout problem

[Former Member]

I have coded one report with ALV output.

I have "/DEFAULT" variant in my ALV output and the output contains 12 fields.

My problem is

when I shifted the fields and save as a new variant layout - it is saving as per my order .

But when come back and rerun the program with the new variant layout, this fields layout order was coming like older layout .

How can I avoid this ? PLEASE HELP ME.

Hello Sam

Did you set your new variant as <b>default</b> variant? If not the current default variant will be used for displaying the ALV list. Choose from the menu <b>Settings -> Layout -> Change...</b> and switch the default variant flag.

Yes, I did the same . set the new one as default. But no use.

It is again overwritten by the old variant.

Probably you are still explicitly passing the old variant to the ALV. If you don't pass anything to the layout, then the default will come into picture, other wise it will take the layout that you are passing.
