ALV Field Catalog - key field not enabled but field still colorized

[Former Member]

Hi ABAP Experts,

In my subroutine Create Field Catalog,  the column Sold-to Party is always be color-coded in display although I disabled the KEY field catalog option ( WA_FCAT-KEY = 'X' ).  I also tried to re-activate the report many times but it did not work.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Check your Internal Table structure. The issue might be with declarations.

Hi Venu,

Here is my internal table.  Is there anything that I need to modify ?

Dear Danny,

Please remark the coding  when defined in build_alv_layout:

gd_LAYOUT-coltab_fieldname = 'CELLCOLOR'.  "CTAB_FNAME

AND

remark the coding when populate data for colum cellcolor.

Execute report BALVBUFDEL to reset ALV buffer, in case of doubt, perform the Consistency Check, check current field catalog.

Hi Raymond,

I just run the report and check Consistency, still the same .

[raymond_giuseppi]

Could you display the field catalog record for this key field (I wasn't expecting the check to return an error ) Also check for some ALV default variant (try to delete/recreate).

Regards,

Raymond

[raymond_giuseppi]

Can you post the actual field catalog for the "key" field from Consistency check?

Hi Danny,

Change  this statement WA_FCAT-TABNAME  = 'LT_alvdata'

as ...                           WA_FCAT-TABNAME = 'LT_ALVDATA' .

Note : In single quotations  you should place Capital Letters Only...

Thanks ,

Hi Vam,

Yes, I just followed your advice but the outcome does not change.

The weird thing is if I enable or disable KEY field for other fields, I can see them changed !!!!

This theorically should not effect it but try the following steps:

1-change declaration from TYPE VBRK-KUNAG to TYPE CHAR10

2-put WA_FCAT-KEY = space

3-activate

3-Run the BCDEL... report suggested by Raymond

4-run your report.

As i stated, things should not change but in this way you are sure the alv do not "feel" some strange external key on VBRK-KUNAG

Hi Simone,

I did all your suggested steps but it seems Sold-to Party column still be treated as key field.

Hi,

just see in Debug before you call the ALV if the field catalog has any key updated?  if you find so find the root cause else try to modify the internal table and check?

Thanks,

Hi,

Can you share your code.?

[Former Member]

Hi Ashish,

Yes, check the attachment.

Hi Danny,

  I just ran your report and i didn't get any colored column for Sold-to Party. your code is correct.

Still if you want then put wa_fcat-key = '' for that KUNAG field in field catalog.

Did you ran the report which Raymond asked you to for resetting alv buffer.

Also check the variant which you are passing for layout.

Hi Ashish,

Yeah, I thought so.  Here is the result I ran the report.  Is that correct ?

Now, I have another issue.  Suddenly, value of Sales Order type become 'TA' which is unconverted value in field VBRK-AUART.  Do you know what might happen ?!

Regards,

Danny

[Ashg1402]

Hi,

It's a problem of conversion exit. I also got the same value in the report.

Put a conversion routine for 'CONVERSION_EXIT_AUART_OUTPUT' for that field value .

[Former Member]

Hi Ashish,

You are right.  I use the function and got OR value.

Thanks,

Danny

[Ashg1402]

Hi,

does the column color issue still exist.?

[raymond_giuseppi]

Just add required information to the field catalog. After

WA_FACAT-FIELDNAME = 'AUART'.

add either some

WA_FACAT-CONVEXIT = 'AUART'.

or even a

WA_FACAT-EDIT_MASK = '==AUART'.

You could also (better) use ddic reference (ref.Generating the Field Catalog Manually)

WA_FACAT-REF_TABLE = 'VBAK'.
WA_FACAT-REF_FIELD = 'AUART'.

Dear Danny,

If you want to delete the color in your Sold-to-party column.

Please remark the coding when defined in build_alv_layout:

gd_LAYOUT-coltab_fieldname = 'CELLCOLOR'.  "CTAB_FNAME

AND

remark the coding when populate data for cellcolor column.

Regards,

Yance

[Former Member]

Hi Yance,

I also tried it but no effect.

I use   wa_layout-coltab_fieldname = 'CELLCOLOR'.  " Cell color Column Name to colorize the percentage column.

Dear Danny,

Have you tried to run this program (BCALV_BUFFER_DEL_SHARED) ?

Regards,

Yance

[Former Member]

Hi Yance,

Yup, I just tried your advice but it is still not affected.

Regards,

Danny

[Former Member]

Dear Danny,

I tried your coding in my environment, It is OK..not color in Sold-to-party column.

Do you still have that problem ?

Regards,

Yance

[Former Member]

Hi Yance,

Well, even Ashish run my code and he did not have colored column Sold-to Party.

I still have the problem.  Not sure what wrong is with ALV buffer ?!!!

[Former Member]

Dear Danny,

Have you tried to change the field name (KUNAG) yet?

Regards,

Yance

[Former Member]

Hi Yance,

That is nice.  Well,  the issue is gone now.  I changed the field name to KUNAG1.

Thank you so much.

Hi

You should correct the code where you fill the ALV catalog because you're partially setting it

Perhaps that strange bug is due to the ALV catalog not completely filled
