Only save when "save"-icon is pressed in REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have waisted about a whole day trying to find out how to make my ALV save, no matter what icon they use, but it seems it only works when pressing the “save”-icon.

I am rather new to ABAP but used to be a 4GL programmer in Progress and find much of it familiar. Some friendly “stealing” of code from the net helps me on the way.

I have created a huge report with several possibillities for adding, deleting and changing data in a personal budget file our users have.

What I want it to do is to save any changes done if they choose for instance to add a line or delete a line. It all works fine if they click the “sav-icon” first, so I tried to implement the “save-data” code to the other functions, but it seems to ignore it.

I have a form like this:

FORM F_SAVE_DATA.
  DATA : WA_REPCP   TYPE TY_REP.
  DATA : WA_REP_TMP TYPE ZREP_PCCCGL.
  CLEAR IT_CHANGES[].
  LOOP AT IT_REP INTO WA_REP.
    READ TABLE IT_REPCP INTO WA_REPCP INDEX SY-TABIX.
    IF WA_REPCP NE WA_REP.
      APPEND WA_REP TO IT_CHANGES.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING WA_REP TO WA_REP_TMP.
      MODIFY ZREP_PCCCGL FROM WA_REP_TMP .
    ENDIF.
    CLEAR WA_REPCP.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.

And the user commands defined like this (example) – but it ignores the “PERFORM F_SAVE_DATA” in user command “&DEL”. When it returns it has reset the values that where changed.

FORM USER_COMMAND  USING P_UCOMM    LIKE SY-UCOMM
                         P_SELFIELD TYPE SLIS_SELFIELD.
  CASE P_UCOMM.
    WHEN '&DATA_SAVE'.
      PERFORM F_SAVE_DATA.
      PERFORM GET_DATA.
      P_SELFIELD-REFRESH = 'X'.
    WHEN '&DEL'.
PERFORM F_SAVE_DATA.
      READ TABLE IT_REP INTO WA_REP INDEX P_SELFIELD-TABINDEX.
        UPDATE ZREP_PCCCGL
           SET STA = 'D'
         WHERE TUSER = sy-uname
           AND GL = WA_REP-GL.
      PERFORM GET_DATA.
      P_SELFIELD-REFRESH = 'X'.
  ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.

Any help would be very much appreciated😊

Best regards, Sølve S.

i'd guess it's a missing commit work between updating db-Tables and re-reading data.

Hi, and thanx for your effort, but unfortunately it did not help. Tried both “Commit work” and “Commit work and wait”

about alv ist important to know that the alv "knows" the data from the internal table u gave him. if u update that table. you have to display the changed data using a "refresh" so alv knows that the data of the itab got changed.

Hi again. Tried this as well (if I understood you correctly, added ‘p_selfield-refresh = ‘X’) but it did not work. The strange thing is that it works perfect when pressing the “Save”-icon, but not any other icons (like my “&INS”-icon).

I make me think that maybe pressing the “Save”-icon does more than just performing “&SAVE_DATA”….. – for instance have some predefined code running first….

Buttons from the gui-status like SAVE triggers PAI and PBO of your dynpro . i duno if thats the case when Buttons in ALV are pressed.

i guess u will figure out when debugging your Code.
