Problem using ALV Grid Control

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am having a wierd situation while using the ALV Grid Control. I would appriciate if anybody help me as it is bit urgent.

My requirement is as below:

-

---

I have an ALV Grid Control with ten thousand records and at a time, one can see only 10 records. So, if anybody has to see any record more than 10, he has press the PAGE DOWN or scroll down by using the vertical scroll bar to go to that particular record.

At any time, the user can select only ONE record at any time.

I have an application toolbar, which has 4 buttons which does some operations based on the record selected.

The following the problem I am facing:

-

---

I have selected more than one row (suppose record 1,2 and 3) and clicked one button on the application toolbar and it is giving an error message "Please select only ONE record" of type 'E'. This functionality is absolutely correct and I dont have any problem. Now, after clicking the okay button on the error message dialog, if I click the page down or the vertical scroll bar to go to record 2000, it is giving the same error message.

Since I need to go to 2000 record, I may need to press the Page down button a couple of times (even same is the case with the vertical scroll bar), I am getting the same error message "Please select only ONE record".

I dont know what is the relation between the Page down button and the button I have clicked.

I have checked whether I have used the same shortcut key of Page down button for the button on the application toolbar. But both are having two differnt shortket keys in the GUI Status.

I have even cleared the OK_CODE value.

I have kept a breakpoint near the error message and then tried clicking the vertical scroll bar (or pressing the page down button), but the control never goes there. The control goes to PAI, but then what ever button I press, be it F5, F6, F7 or F8, it displays the error message and show the screen.

Can anybody please help me out. This is very very urgent.

Thanks in advance.

HI Priya,

I believe the message is bcos of the value stored from

CALL METHOD alv_grid->get_selected_rows

IMPORTING

ET_INDEX_ROWS = <b>G_INDEX_ROW</b>.

if u dont clear this value then it assumes u have selected multiple records..

if it doesn't solve ur problem pls paste part of ur code so we can able to help u

Hi Srinu,

Thanks for you reply.

But the clearing of GS_INDEX value really doesnt help me as the value woud be not be stored. I have used a local structure inside a PAI form for capturing the selected rows. So, once the control comes out of the form, the strucuture no longer exists.

Anyways, I have pasting the code. Fist is the PBO module, where I am displaying the ALV Grid Control. Second is the PAI Module where I am handling the error messages.

Hi Narendran,

I dont understand what is the user of moving the LV_F_CODE ahead. I have not declared any status for Page Up or Page Down. Then why is the control going to PAI.

Secondly, I have pressing any buttons (page up or page down). I am clicking the Vertical scroll bar. but still i am having the same problem.

Hi,

Since in your code you are doing the describe table and giving the error message irrespective of what the function code is..

That is the reason I moved the code inside the function code where you have to check if only row is selected..

<b>* Get the selected Records

CALL METHOD lp_alv->get_selected_rows

IMPORTING

et_row_no = lt_row.

*

• Get the Number of Selected Match records

DESCRIBE TABLE lt_row LINES lv_lines.

*

• If the no match records are selected, then give an error message

IF lv_lines EQ 0.

Message 'Select a match record' type 'E'.

elseif lv_lines gt 1.

Message 'Select only One Match Record' type 'E'</b>

Priya,

Did you ever find out why your message was being displayed multiple times while scrolling down?

I'm having the same problem, which seems to be a problem with the ALV scrolling functionality and not with my code. My "s" message at the bottom of the screen keeps dinging and flashing while I scroll down through hundreds of records.

Thanks,

John
