data: begin of itab

fields

...

end of itab

try.

lr_column ?= lr_columns->get_column( 'CHECKBOX' ). "a field where the * value can be either 'X' or ' ' (space).

lr_column->set_cell_type( if_salv_c_cell_type=>checkbox_hotpot ).

lr_column->set_long_text( 'CHECKBOX' ).

catch cx_salv_not_found. "#EC NO_HANDLER

Hi,

While building the field catalog for the field Chek set the edit parameter to 'X'.

And also in PAI modify the indernal table.

It looks like you are using SALV (Simplified ALV).

While SALV has many nice features, it does not allow editable fields. In simplifying ALV, many features were left out.

You have to use CL_GUI_ALV_GRID or function modules to allow for editable fields.

You cannot do this with SALV. Unfortunately, none of the major tutorials that I have seen tell you this, which is a major oversight.

Good luck
