Hi Shankara,

In the REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY or any other such func. module pass value 'A' for the parameter I_SAVE if you want to save user specific layouts or pass 'X' if you want system specific layouts. In case of user specific only that user will be able to get the layout on F4.

For horizontal and vertical lines, to my knowledge they will automatically appear till u set the option NO_VLINE to 'X' in the layout.

regarding the documentation help I'm still not clear what exactly u require. If you are talking about documentation of fields when F1 key is pressed, then for that you have to set in the fieldd catalog (a) either the ROLLNAME or (b)REF_FIELDNAME & REF_TABNAME

like T_FCAT-ROLLNAME = 'VBELN_VL'. "For Delivery No.

or T_FCAT-REF_FIELDNAME = 'VBELN'

T_FCAT-REF_TABNAME = 'LIKP'.

Hope this answers you queries.

regards,

Satyadev Dutta

I am using grid display and i am giving i_save = 'A' . Still that layout save and layout load tools are not coming .

Former Member · ‎12-16-2004

Are you using the Function Module approach? or the OO Method?

Former Member · ‎12-16-2004

Hello Shankar,

It would certainly help if you be more clear about your exact requirement the terminology you use.

What do you mean by layout and tools?

When you are giving the parameter I_SAVE as 'A', you want the standard user-specific save mode. But this attribute alone does not give you the save layout option. consider this example.


DATA: GT_SFLIGHT TYPE TABLE OF SFLIGHT,
      LS_VARIANT TYPE DISVARIANT .

SELECT *
  FROM SFLIGHT
  INTO TABLE GT_SFLIGHT.

LS_VARIANT-REPORT = SY-REPID.

  CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
       EXPORTING
            I_STRUCTURE_NAME   = 'SFLIGHT'
            IS_VARIANT         = LS_VARIANT
            I_SAVE             = 'A'
       TABLES
            T_OUTTAB           = GT_SFLIGHT.

The moment you give the option of saving the layout, you will also have to give the parameter IS_VARIANT.

Read the FM Documentation for more info. If you need any more explanation , please get abck.

Thank you very much .. The layout issue is solved .. Can u solve the other issues ?

Former Member · ‎12-16-2004

Hi,

Can you give me some points? And also the code to see why the lines don't appear?

Hello Shankar,

1. Are you not able to see the ALV Toolbar itself? If yes, there's a parameter in the layout called NO_TOOLBAR. Please check that this parameter is set to space.

2. In case you are able to see the toolbar, but are not able to see the Layout Button, then, as Satyadev had pointed out, the parameter i_save has to be set accordingly to one of the following.

' ' = Display variants cannot be saved

'X' = Standard save mode

'U' = User-specific save mode

'A' = Standard and user-specific save mode

3. Can you be a little more clear about Horizontal and Vertical Lines ? Do you mean the grid lines? In my experience, I have never had to explicitly code for the grid lines. they appear by default. Only you have to suppress them explicitly if you don't want them.

4. Regarding Documentation, do you mean the documentation for the whole grid? or the F1 help for the cells of the grid ?

Anand Mandalika.

1. ALV toolbar is visible . But layout save and load button is invisible

2.I have already set the i_save = 'A' in the function

'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

3.I need a horizontal line after each record and also vertical lines after each column .

4.ya .. i need F1 help for each cell

Hi Shankar,

Seems like you have not read the answers above. Please do.

Also, please psot the code of the FM call here so that we can investigate what's wrong. Because the grid lines not appearing is something very strange (and uncommon). So I guess it gets a little difficult to find out your problem merely through guesses.

Hope to see your problems resolved.

Regards,

Anand Mandalika.

I am sorry .. horizontal lines and vertical lines i need not in grid display.. but in ALV LIST DISPLAY ..

Former Member · ‎12-16-2004

In case of REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY, I'm not sure you will get any horizontal lines. But you will get the vertical lines by default.

Former Member · ‎12-16-2004

No i am not getting vertical lines also ..

For exactly the same code, I'm able to get the vertical lines. Could you please check the values of the exporting parameter GS_LAYOUT just at the point where the Function Module is being called. I have a feeling that the field no_vline is getting set somewhere. Please re-check in debug mode.

Okay thanks . and what about the F1 help ?

Former Member · ‎12-16-2004

Hi,

I think you can have a look at my earlier response. That should resolve your problem.

CLEAR fieldcat_in.

fieldcat_ln-fieldname = 'MATNR'.

fieldcat_ln-row_pos = 1.

APPEND fieldcat_ln TO gt_fieldcat.

Cheers,

Hello Shankar,

In general, you would automatically get the F1 help for the fields by default, if the field has been declared with reference to a standard field in the ABAP Dictionary.

The ALV List is not different in this regard.

In case you have some fields in the list which do not refer to the dictionary fields or if the data-element does not have the documentation maintained, then you would have to program the Help yourself. In this case, you will have to handle the event (of pressing the key F1) yourself. In the event handler, you can call a function module like DOCUSHOW*. However, this is a pretty rare case.

Anand Mandalika.

P.S. If the answers help you, please do reward the points as and when you read them.

hi,

you have to set i_save property 'A'- user can edit(allow to change)

'X'- user cant't edit default not set (not allow to change)

'U'- default selected (but not allow to change)

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'

EXPORTING

i_callback_program = g_repid

i_structure_name = 'ITAB1'

is_layout = gs_layout

it_fieldcat = gt_fieldcat[]

it_sort = gt_sort[]

it_events = gt_events[]

is_print = gs_print

i_save = 'A' / 'X'/ 'U'

t_outtab = itab1

OTHERS = 2.
