cl_salv_table - refresh does not work

[jrgkraus]

Hello community,

i put a table on a custom control of a dynpro using the class above. Now, after altering the table contents and doing a refresh, the visible table will not show any change.

here is the relevant code:

* The alv object is created like this
  try.
  cl_salv_table=>factory(
    exporting
      r_container = go_joblist_container
    importing
      r_salv_table = go_joblist_alv
    CHANGING
* The table gt_joblist is global...
      t_table = gt_joblist
       ).
  catch cx_salv_msg.
    exit.
  ENDTRY.
  lo_columns ?= go_joblist_alv->get_columns( ).
  lo_columns->set_optimize( abap_true ).

  go_joblist_alv->display( ).

* after a user command, the following code is processed

  data ls_stat type zdb_fspo_stat01.
  ls_stat = go_stat->get_stat( ).
  go_jobs->shift( ls_stat-strtdate ).
  clear gt_joblist. " For test reasons, the table is cleared
*  gt_joblist = go_jobs->get_joblist( ).
  go_joblist_alv->refresh( ).
  cl_gui_cfw=>flush( ).  " I event tried to do a flush - without effect

Can anybody help me?

Thanks to all

Jörg

Have you implemented the Events for the SALV object?

Check demo program: SALV_DEMO_TABLE_REFRESH which works well for the refresh on the button Change Data Records & Select Rows.

No, the user action is being initiated by the dynpro that carries the alv (PAI-Processing). I don't see how the implementation of events could help here?

[naimesh_patel]

Your code for refreshing must be triggered form the event handlers of your ALV.

Try to implement Events & the event handlers for your ALV e.g. BEFORE_SALV_FUNCTION.

What is the scope of the table variable?

I had a similar problem that I fixed by making the table an attribute of the local class, rather than a global variable of the report program. Once I did that, the method that caught the user action saw the updated (sorted) version of the table, not the original.

[jrgkraus]

There is no report. It's a object-orientated transaction with a function module that contains a dynpro with the alv on it. The table is a global, private attribute of the main class. I did several similar programs where the refresh works fine...

Sorry, I was misunderstanding your question.

AFAIK, the refresh should work.

Have you tried the set_data method instead? Be aware, it'll wipe your display settings...
