Table control that should be empty is prefilled with initial values

0 Kudos

Hi everyone,

Here's another novice question. I've got a table control on a dynpro, an works fine as long a the underlying internal table contains lines. If it doesn't, instead of displaying an empty table control, I get an entire page where two columns are prefilled:

- Run ID

- Time

Take a look:

Why does it behave this way, and how do I suppress this behaviour so it comes up empty instead?

A hint:

Run_ID is selected from a database table where it is a key value and thus has an initial value. Not sure why that would lead to this beaviour though...

Here's literally the entire ABAP code, since there is not much there yet:

The table control was added via the wizard.

Thanks in advance for taking a look!

Martin

Thanks! That was it. Added this code (plus changed DATA statement), and it worked:

      LOOP AT i_log_entries INTO wa_log_entries.
        WRITE wa_log_entries-run_time TO wa_log_entries-time.
        MODIFY i_log_entries FROM wa_log_entries.
      ENDLOOP.

If your internal table is empty, and you want nothing to appear, you may either set the INVISIBLE attribute of your table control (but even the column headings will be hidden), or display just one line by defining the LINES attribute to 1 (line counter) which has the drawback of having only one line with initial values. Changing all the types of screen fields to "characters" is not a good practice in my opinion.
