Ordering columns in an ALV list

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am trying to make a particular column e.g. PERSA (Business Unit) in the following order in the ALV list but i still get it as the 1st column.

I have ordered it as such in the output table :

*--- Structure of output table

DATA: BEGIN OF outtab OCCURS 100, "N747328

pernr(8) TYPE c, "Pers.No File#

dt_sort(8) type n,

aedtm(12) TYPE c, "Action Date

mgtxt LIKE t530t-mgtxt, "Action reason(text)

persa LIKE t500p-persa, "Business Unit plstx_n LIKE t528t-plstx, "Position Title (text)

ansal(12) type c, "Annual Salary

betrg(7) type c, "Hrly rate*

END OF outtab.

I have even tried using col_pos in the fieldcatalog but it doesn't work.

when 'PERSA'.

ls_alv_field_catalog-ddictxt = 'M'.

ls_alv_field_catalog-seltext_m = 'Business Unit' .

ls_alv_field_catalog-col_pos = '3'.

The interesting thing is persa represents the code of business unit e.g.ETIT whereas earlier i had in the list t500p-name1 which is the description of the business unit. like Information Technology.When i had t500p-name1 i had no issues with the positioning. I don't think that matters.

Kindly suggest.Thanks in advance.

Comment the below statement for column PERSA [if you have it in your code].

ls_alv_field_catalog-KEY = 'X'.

also paste the code you've written for field catalog...

Paste the code you have for building field catalog.

There was no ls_alv_field_catalog-KEY = 'X' bit of code but i added ls_alv_field_catalog-KEY = '' and it solved the problem. Thanks.
