Internal table using 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'

[Former Member]

Dear Everyone,

I tried to build field category reference to an internal table using 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE', but it didn't work. I already export the internal table name to I_INTERNAL_TABNAME, but the result table gt_fieldcat was empty. However, I also export the internal table name to I_STRUCTURE_NAME, the run-time error will be occurred.

Can somebody advise that what the problem is? I listed the code below.

I know that 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE' can do that, but I received a message from SAP that they don't recommend we use it anymore, so I have to use 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'.

Thanks in advanced !

Code:

• Prepare field category

CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'

EXPORTING

*I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'alv_output'

I_INTERNAL_TABNAME = 'alv_output'

CHANGING

ct_fieldcat = gt_fieldcat

EXCEPTIONS

inconsistent_interface = 1

program_error = 2

OTHERS = 3.

• Structure definition

DATA: BEGIN OF alv_output OCCURS 10,

mandt TYPE mandt ,

infnr TYPE infnr ,

...

DATA: END OF alv_output.

• Variable definition

DATA : gt_fieldcat TYPE lvc_t_fcat,

.......

HI,

In your code...CHECK

1) I-INTERNAL_TABNEM = 'ALV_OUTPUT'

internal table name should be in capital letters.

2) in the structure definition dont use TYPE always use LIKE

It will not work directly, But there is a work around. check this...

REPORT  ZTEST_FIELDCATLOG.
type-pools: slis.

data: begin of it_data occurs 0,
        vbeln like vbak-vbeln,
        matnr like mara-matnr,
      end of it_data.

DATA: it_fieldcat type SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV,
     it_lvcfcat type lvc_t_fcat.
 
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
 EXPORTING
   I_PROGRAM_NAME               = sy-repid
   I_INTERNAL_TABNAME           = 'IT_DATA'
   I_INCLNAME                   =  sy-repid
  CHANGING
    ct_fieldcat                  = it_fieldcat

          .
IF sy-subrc  0.
 MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
 
 
CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_TRANSFER_FROM_SLIS'
  EXPORTING
    it_fieldcat_alv       = it_fieldcat
*   IT_SORT_ALV           =

*   IS_LAYOUT_ALV         =

   ET_FIELDCAT_LVC       = it_lvcfcat

BREAK-POINT.

Runtime Errors --> READ_REPORT_LINE_TOO_LONG

EXCEPT. --> CX_SY_READ_SRC_LINE_TOO_LONG

Error Occured in

Function Module : K_KKB_FIELDCAT_MERGE

Thanks in advance.

Caution:-

Source code lines should be less than or equal to 72,. when you are using the REUSE Merge function.

[Former Member]

width of the source code lines should be less than or equal to 72.

width

read table it_data with key vbeln = vbeln matnr = matnr posrn = posnr.

if there are such lines convert or format them

read table itab with key vbel = vbef
                     nmt = mat
