ABAP: create Popup for Input in selection Table for longer strings

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am new in ABAP programming.

I have created an application with SE38, in this application I call a table from an selection-screen. I pass a variable which I got from the selection-screen and call data from an InfoProvider that I have created.

Now in this table the user has to enter some data into certain fields.

There is a character field with a length of 60. This is not enough.

I know that it is possible to have an InfoObject with attributes and split a string into the attributes to transport string with a longer length than 60.

But my inputfield in the table doesn't give me the possiblity to enter data that is longer.

So I am asking here if it is possible to access that field and call an inputfield somehow?

I need an inputfield where I can enter data that is longer than 60 characters (maybe about 600) and after submitting it has to be splittet into several hidden fields. After saving of the table I will call a process-chain which will transfer the data from the table back into the InfoProvider.

If you need any more informations about my application please let me know, I don't know if my question is clear enough..

Martin

Hey Raphael,

I try to explain with some code samples:

I have a abap application with a table definition and additional an alv grid definition:

TABLES: ytable_mytable.

DATA: ok_code LIKE sy-ucomm,

          save_ok LIKE sy-ucomm,

          g_container TYPE scrfname VALUE 'BCALV_GRID_DEMO_0100_CONT1',

          g_grid TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid,

          g_custom_container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_custom_container,

          gs_layout TYPE lvc_s_layo,

          g_max TYPE i VALUE 100.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_mytable,

     column definitions..

END OF ty_mytable.

DATA: ls_mytable01 TYPE ty_mytable,

          it_mytable01 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_mytable.

so I also have a selection-screen where I ask for an input to call up an InfoProvider from BW and load data - after I loaded this data I am calling up the alv grid with the table inside..

gs_layout-edit = 'X'.

gs_layout-stylefname = 'CELL'.

CALL METHOD g_grid->set_table_for_first_display

     EXPORTING

          i_structure_name = 'ytable_mytable'

          is_layout  = gs_layout

     CHANGING

          it_outtab = it_table01.

CALL METHOD g_grid->set_ready_for_input

     EXPORTING

          i_ready_for_input = 1.

(this code is not copied out from my application, it is manually wrote of the screen because I don't have access to that from here)

code works..

I come to a new screen with the table that I defined above. Here I want to select a CELL and get a POPUP window with a bigger input field for that..

And I need that because the specific cell that I click on is a character cell with an only length of 60 characters, but I need more than this..

I really hope that you could understand me because it is hard for me to understand everything 100%.. i am too new to his. But I am an experienced programmer..

Hi Martin !

Try to use the FM "REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT" to make this.
