            i_structure_name              = text-040  "'ZPM_TB_MEASURES'

            i_save                        = gc_a  "'A'

            is_variant                    = gwa_variant

          CHANGING

            it_outtab                     = gt_zpm_tb_measures 

            it_fieldcatalog               = gt_fieldcatalog

Hi Ashish,

Have you populated the internal table gt_fieldcatalog before using it?

Hi,

You are using text-040 for the structure Name.Translation maintained for Norwegian language?

Yes

K.S. is right you're using a text element, why?

The name of structure is alwyas the same, it doesn't depend on the language: you should harcode it

To be even more specific - you should hard code using a constant.

Only use text symbols for texts that must be (might be) translated.

Hi K.S. ,

Thanks for the help .

I should have used structure name here or hard coding .

One more thing I need to ask as I am new to object oriented ALV , Can you please let me know that if I have already used Structure name and I do not want to modify any field catalog , so in that case can we skip passing the field catalog .

like this : ( commenting the field catalog table )

CALL METHOD go_alvgd->set_table_for_first_display

            i_structure_name      =    "'ZPM_TB_MEASURES'

          CHANGING

            it_outtab                     =    gt_zpm_tb_measures 

   *         it_fieldcatalog             = gt_fieldcatalog

Means I am only passing the SE11 structure name and the internal table containing values .

Thanks and Regards ,
