Sort table in maintenance generator

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an automatically generated table maintenance  generator.

Fields are automatically sorted by key fields. I would like to sort it by a non-key field.

I have tried to modify it through the following options:

• Environment -> Modification -> Maintenance Screens: I have created an include ...O01 (defined in top include of function group) with a PBO module called SORT_EXTRACT. I tried to sort the EXTRACT table, but I get a syntax error that it is unknown. I can access the EXTRACT table in debug mode as it is a global variable. Any ideas on how to access it? The following code does not work as it is unknown:

GT_TAB[] = EXTRACT[].

SORT GT_TAB BY ORDER.

EXTRACT[] = GT_TAB[].

• Environment -> Modification -> Events: Event 17 Before printing events Doesn't work either. I have created a form, which is not accessed.

Please advise me how to proceed.

BR,

Matei

Oh, I did search before posting. And not only searched, but tried for two days different solutions!

One of them is:

PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.

  MODULE LISTE_INITIALISIEREN.

MODULE SORT_EXTRACT.

  LOOP AT EXTRACT WITH CONTROL

   TCTRL_/SAPLOM/XMM_CNDV CURSOR NEXTLINE.

    MODULE LISTE_SHOW_LISTE.

  ENDLOOP.

MODULE SORT_EXTRACT OUTPUT.

   DATA gt_itab TYPE TABLE OF /SAPLOM/XMM_COND.

   BREAK i321596.

   gt_itab[] = extract[].

   SORT gt_itab BY ORDR ASCENDING.

   extract[] = gt_itab[] .

ENDMODULE.

Result of this solution in syntax check: "EXACT" expected, not "EXTRACT[]". I cannot access the EXTRACT table... I tried with and without the brackets!

Although, if I comment the rest of the code from the breakpoint onwards, I can access the global variable EXTRACT[] in the debugger, but I cannot pass the syntax check if I uncomment the rest of my lines.

I tried also the option Environment -> Modification -> Events: Event 17, 26, AA... But these events only create a blank include, which is not inserted in the TOP include of the function group of the maintenance view. I added it manually, edited it with the code above, but no luck solving the access to the EXTRACT[] variable 😐

Please help!

Good. A suggestion: You should have posted this information with your earlier question itself.

I will read through your reply and check if I can help you better.

Thanks,

Hi,

You should create your sort PBO MODULE after the includes below in your maintenance function group master program (not in top inlude).

INCLUDE LxxxxTOP.  " Global Data

INCLUDE LxxxxUXX.  " Function Modules

eg. INCLUDE LxxxxO01. (as suggested in popup)

Thanks,
