Hi Michael,

Kuntal is right. This might be because of wrong table structure and its usage within control level statemnts (AT... ENDAT), but not only. To fix it, ensure you have structure correctly applied. Start defining your fields from the widest range data to the tightest ones (for key fields). I.e. you have such structure.

Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field5

First three fields describe organizational assignment, the two latter keeps data for them (and are no imporant so I skipped them below).

Now field1 should be your enterprise level, field2 your company level, field3 department level.

Assuming above the table should have following data:

Enterprise Company1 Dep1

Enterprise Company1 Dep2

Enterprise Company2 Dep1

Enterprise Company2 Dep2

These four rows define Enterprise stucture, starting from the widest (left) to the tightest (right) units.

The table should be sorted according to field1, field2 and field3 respectively.

What you probably have in your table is something like this:

Enterprise Dep1 Company1

Enterprise Dep2 Company1

Enterprise Dep1 Company2

Enterprise Dep2 Company2

Which in turn produces **** in place of Company1 and Company2. Switching the columns solves the problem.

What is more, for ALV you can achieve similar results even with the correct strcuture. By setting wrong sort order (field1, field3, field2) and later subtotals you are likely to get similar results (with asterisk). Ensure this is also set properly.
