Exporting the report as flat file using the layout defined

Hi all,

I am creating a report program using REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY with flat file extraction using WS_DOWNLOAD. In the selection-screen, a checkbox which indicates that the report must be exported as flat and a parameter for the layout exist. The user wants the result of the flat file to be the same as the layout of the report. In my program, the flat file processing is prior to displaying the ALV. I've been searching a FM which can get the fieldcatalog of a layout but so far, I haven't found one. If I found one, I will just create a dynamic table which will be passed to WS_DOWNLOAD.

Thanks for your help!!!

Hi VJ,

Thanks for that. But what I need to do is to know the fields/columns of the layout to be displayed before the ALV report launches.

Is there a way to know the fields of an ALV layout.

Thanks!

Hi Andrew,

Try this

REUSE_ALV_LIST_LAYOUT_INFO_GET

REUSE_ALV_LIST_LAYOUT_INFO_SET

REUSE_ALV_LIST_WIDTH_GET

Yes, I've seen these FM but the parameters to be passed are still unclear to me. Could you help me how to use this?

Thanks,

Hi Andrew,

You can just do a google & SDN search using the FM and u will get many codes where its being used,

Basically the FM is used to get the layout information. I am not sure if its a perfect match for your requirement.
