How is address normally displayed in ALV

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I am still new at ABAP and my assignment is to display company name and address from KNA1 on an ALV grid given a set of customer number.

The problem i am facing is that the addresses are not consistent(eg some contains name1 and name2, some only contains name1).

Do I create seperate columns for each field of KNA1 in the ALV, or is it possible to create a column with multiple lines to hold the address?

Please advise. sample programs with ALV that displays address would be helpful

Thanks

Hi

It's possible to create only one:

If ITAB is your output table, define a field NAME instead of NAME1 and NAME2 and while you're upoloading the address data concatenate those two fields in NAME.

DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

...........

• NAME1 LIKE KNA1-NAME1,

• NAME2 LIKE KNA1-NAME2,

NAME(70),

END OF ITAB.

I don't know how you load the data:

DATA: LEN TYPE I.

SELECT * KNA1 WHERE KUNNR IS SO_KUNNR

LEN = STRLEN( KNA1-NAME1 ).

WRITE KNA1-NAME1(LEN) TO ITAB-NAME.

LEN = LEN + 1.

WRITE KNAM1-NAME2 TO ITAB-NAME+LEN.

APPEND ITAB.

ENDSELECT.

Hi

In the catalog table you can indicate the position and the row where every field has to be displayed.

DATA: LT_FIELDCAT TYPE SLIS_FIELDCAT_ALV,

GT_FIELDCAT TYPE SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV.

LOOP AT GT_FIELDCAT INTO LT_FIELDCAT.

LT_FIELDCAT-ROW_POS = <ROW>. " output in row

LT_FIELDCAT-COL_POS = <POS>. " position of the column

MODIFY GT_FIELDCAT FROM LT_FIELDCAT.

ENDLOOP.
