Need help in this code snippet for split container

Hi,

I am using the following code to display two tables in report output.

using cl_salv_table.

lo_report->generate_output( ).

METHOD generate_output.

data: g_custom_container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_custom_container, "custom container

g_display TYPE REF TO cl_salv_display_settings, " set display pattern
g_slav_table TYPE REF TO cl_salv_table,
g_table TYPE REF TO cl_salv_table.

ENDMETHOD.

<Added code tags>

when I Execute the code, it still stay on selection screen does not display output table. If I comment out the lines

EXPORTING

r_container = g_top_container

from the Method "cl_salv_table=>factory" the output is displayed with table in required format.

Could someone help me out identifying what am I doing wrong.

Thanks,

Abhiram.

Try creating g_slav_table object:

CREATE OBJECT g_salv_table

EXPORTING

r_container = g_top_container.

And then methods SET_DATA and DIPLAY from this object.

Hi,

It does not allow to create instance for CL_SALV_TABLE with CREATE OBJECT. I got the below syntax error when I tried creating instance as mentioned by you. I have to use CL_SALV_TABLE=>FACTORY.

"You cannot create an instance of the class "CL_SALV_TABLE" outside the".

Thanks,

Abhiram.

when I Execute the code, it still stay on selection screen does not display output table.

You need to call the screen in which you have defined the custom container 'CUSTOM_AREA'. And you need to call the method generate_output( ) in the PBO of the screen.

If I comment out the lines
EXPORTING
r_container = g_top_container
from the Method "cl_salv_table=>factory" the output is displayed with table in required format.

If you're removing the R_CONTAINER parameter, SALV framework displays the data in full-screen grid. Actually it uses REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to display the data. Hence you are getting the data.

To be honest i'll be surprised if you are getting the splitter container, can you confirm if you are getting it?

Hi Suhas,

The output is displayed in full screen only I am not seeing any split container. Is there any other way I can achieve split container without PBO.

Thanks,

Abhiram.

Abhiram, insert follow code after "get top container":

"get bottom container
CALL METHOD g_splitter_container->get_container
EXPORTING
row = 2
column = 1
RECEIVING
container = g_bottom_container.

Like Suhas said, you need to create a screen with only object custom container named 'CUSTOM_AREA'. In START-OF-SELECTION from main program, do CALL SCREEN to mentioned screen. In PBO from this screen insert your code.
