Hi,

The problem is because of field catalogue.Check if all fields in your table are there in the field catalogue.

Check if you have give the same field names of IT_FINAL and the field catalogue.

Hard to say without having a look at the relevant code where you are receiving the dump

Hi Kiro,

I hope you have defined field catalog for the new field also.

If you could put the code, it would be better to figure out.

Hello,

In the ALV calling FM: LIST / GRID you will have the param I_INTERFACE_CHECK. Pass 'X' to this & if your ALV has an error it will list it.

Also check Rainer's ALV SOS blog.

Hi,

While declaring Field catalog , make sure that field names were enterd in Capital letters b/w single quotes.

Hi,

While populating the field catalog table give the field name in CAPS.

Thanks

Field-symbol not assigned can arise from a missing row or from an empty table. If you're certain that your fieldnames in whatever structure you're using to hold the data and the field catalog are exactly identical, then debug to discover at which point the field-symbol failed to point to a particular piece of data. BTW, depending upon your system version, you may need to ALWAYS check that field-symbol is assigned before proceeding.... think in terms of sy-subrc....

if sy-subrc eq 0. " good results.

if <fs> is assigned. " good results.

.....

endif.

Try to run [The Consistency Check|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/EN/d6/23253963143e6ae10000000a11402f/frameset.htm] - this will check the field catalog, and also other fields existence like BOX for selection or attributes for color, style, etc.

Hi,

The problem is with the fieldcatalog. Please check the field name defined in the internal table and the one passed in the field catalog are correct.
