ALV filter with own logic

[former_member517]

Hello colleagues out there,

I have a request from my users concerning ALV filtering. They want to have filters of the kind :

- A = 5 or B = 6

- A + B > C

(A, B, C Columns of the table)

Surely I can implement such rules "hard" coded in the ABAP. But my question is: Is there are more generic way, that allows the users to define their filter rules themselves without having to modify my programs ?

Many thanky for your help

Hi rabanus,

1. A = 5 can be done

B = 6 can be done

but OR conditions, between two fields cannot be done,

in standard alv filter functionality.

2. A + B > C

cannot be done,

bcos it allows filter only one one field, by one field,

not

using some expressions/equations.

If you can use ALV for displaying your report, the users can set the filter by themselves and the data will be automtically filtered. You don't have to do a single change to your program.

They can even save the filter criteria.

I am not sure, if you got my point. The feature of ALV filtering is well known to me.

My question is: Has anybody written a kind of popup, where the user can enter his filter expression like a condition in an IF statement and then apply this condition to the internal table like the standard ALV filter does ?
