Layout in ALV

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

As we all know,

Layouts can be saved for specific users or for all users.

Layouts for all users can be selected by all users. These layouts always start with a forward slash in the name (for example, /Standard)

I have 1 layout called /test. I want to edit this layout. When I select Settings-Layout-Change and try to save my changes under the same name as /test I am not able to do it. I am prompted to enter a new layout name. How to edit the current layout available for all users? Do we need any special authorisation or ABAP code to achieve this.

Hi,

It seems to be an authorization issue

Check authorization object S_ALV_LAYO

Hope this will surely help you !!!

Dear Punit,

Thanks a lot for your reply. Can you please tell me how to assign this auth. obj to my user profile.

Hi..

Take a role assigned to your username in SU01.

Go to PFCG -> give the role -> Change -> Authorization tab -> Change Authorization data -> Place the cursor on Manual authorizations and click on the button Manually on the application toolbar -> Give the Authorization object -> Save and Generate.

Thanks,

Sandhya.
