ALV - How to default variant change.

[Former Member]

I have coded one report with ALV output.

I have /DEFAULT variant in my ALV output and the output contains 12 fields.

When I execute the this report

problem 1). How can i shift the 7th field to 12 th field and save as a new variant.

Problem 2).If I rerun this new variant, how can I keep new set of arranged fields of new variant in the new order( means 7th field in 12 th position ).

I mean in while re-running the program the fields are arranged in old manner ( 7 th field in 7th position only - my functional consultant told me ) .

Could you please help me ?

1.

a. click on the change layout button ctrl-f8

b.select the 7th field

c. click 'hide selected fields' button

d. select the newly hidden field on the right panel

e. select the destination on the left, the 11th column

f. click the 'show selected fields' button

2.

a. click the save layout button, ctrl-f10

b. enter a name and description, eg sams

c. hit enter

d. click the select layout button, ctrl-f9, you will now see layout 'sams' in addition to the /default one

Neil Woodruff ,

Thank you for your reply and is helpful!

My problem is

when I shifted the fields and save as a new variant layout - it is saving as per my order .

But when come back and rerun program with the new variant, this fields arrangement order was coming like older layout .

How can I avoid this ? PLEASE HELP ME.

Do I need to change my coding :

I am using

CLEAR lf_fieldcat.

lf_fieldcat-fieldname = 'KTEXT'.

lf_fieldcat-tabname = 'GT_ZGXMIT_L'.

lf_fieldcat-ref_tabname = 'CEPCT'.

lf_fieldcat-ref_fieldname = 'KTEXT'.

• lf_fieldcat-reptext_ddic = '0500 Transmit'.

lh_index = lh_index + 1.

lf_fieldcat-col_pos = lh_index.

lf_fieldcat-no_sum = y_x.

lf_fieldcat-outputlen = '20'.

APPEND lf_fieldcat TO lt_fieldcat.

Hi,

I am not sure this might work..

But try passing I_BYPASSING_BUFFER = 'X' to the ALV FM...

Thanks,
