Filters not defined? Yes they are, I just defined them!

[matt]

In my CL_SALV_TABLE application, I set a filter in the screen. I then run this code:

 lr_filters = ir_salv_table->get_filters( ).

  IF lr_filters->is_filter_defined( ) = abap_false.
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.

It always tells me there are no filters defined. But there are. I just defined them and can see them on the screen!

I've used cl_gui_cfw=>flush( ). I'm currently on 7.01 SP 7, and can't find a note for this. Any ideas?

Hi

I've never used CL_SALV_TABLE, anyway I've tried to create a report and get the filter in the a event (for double click, but I suppose it's the same for all event) and I can get the filters

Where are you placed your code?

I wish I hadn't used it! But I can't change it until next release of the software.

The CL_SALV_TABLE object is an instance in the same class as the method in which I'm getting the filters. Hmm. Interesting. When I debug an event triggered on the ALV - I can see the filter. The lack of filter is when I'm processing the PAI... Maybe there's more than one instance hanging around...

OK, debugging both calls, I noticed that the filters (in the cl_salv_table) object got updated automatically when processing the event, but not on the PAI.

So the solution was me->r_alv->get_metadata( ).

Which I should have known as I use it elsewhere in the application!
