sorting in ALV without cell merging

[Former Member]

Hi, I created ALV with sorting table in FM set_table_for_first_display, data are sorted correct but cell are not merged. In layout I have no_merging = ' ' . So where is a problem?

HI, Joanna.

May be u should check NO_MERGING field of field catalog?

Hi Joanna,

Check this program BCALV_TEST_MERGE.

It is calling SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY and merging cells.

Is your ALV cell-wise editable ? or just display ?

You need to pass itab with sort criteria.

wa_sort-spos = 1.

wa_sort-fieldname = <column1>

wa_sort-up = 'X'.

append wa_sort to i_sort.

wa_sort-spos = 2.

wa_sort-fieldname = <column2>

wa_sort-up = 'X'. " sort ascending

append wa_sort to i_sort.

Thanks,

Hi Joanna,

Is it an editable ALV ?

Its not enough to pass sorted IT_OUTTAB.

You need to pass IT_SORT (changing parameter) to the method SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY

Hope you were saying 'yes' for that.

Thanks,

yes, I have sorting table and I add it to SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY as I said sorting works. Some of cell os grid is editable column by which sorting is made is not editable.
