Protect Default Layout Variant

[Former Member]

Hi,

Does anyone know if you can protect a default layout variant? I know you can do this with Selection Variants but there does not appear to be an option for Layout Variants.

I suspect this is because the user can just tick user defined if they don't want anyone else to change it. However we have created some Default Layout Variants for mass users and we have instances where users are going in and changing the default settings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

You sound as if you are asking about this in relation to an ALV Grid. If so...

  CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
       EXPORTING
            i_callback_program = g_repid
            is_layout          = g_layout
            it_sort            = g_sort[]
            it_events          = g_events[]
            it_fieldcat        = g_fieldcat[]
            i_save             = 'U'  "<==  Can only save layouts as the users, can not alter system default.
            it_excluding       = g_exclude
       TABLES
            t_outtab           = it_out
       EXCEPTIONS
            program_error      = 1
            OTHERS             = 2.
