How to Change Column header in ALV List

[Former Member]

hello,

is there a way to change the column header/label of an ALV list other than inheriting it from the source table it is bound to?

thanks,

sid

Yes, you can. If you are using a field catalog, you can change the field labels in your program.

For example.

  data: fc_tmp type slis_fieldcat_alv .
  clear: fieldcat. refresh: fieldcat.

  clear: fc_tmp.
<b>  fc_tmp-reptext_ddic    = 'Material Number'.</b>
  fc_tmp-fieldname  = 'MATNR'.
  fc_tmp-tabname   = 'IMARA'.
  fc_tmp-outputlen  = '18'.
  fc_tmp-col_pos    = 2.
  append fc_tmp to fieldcat.

If you are using the MERGE funciton module to get your field catalog, then you just need to loop thru it and change the field which is holding the description, then modify the line of the field catalog.
