Hello,
I would like to implement edit functionality of an internal table with ALV based on class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID. Some fields of internal table are key fields and the combination of them should be unique. The user has a possibility to add a new record (all fields in new record are editable) or change values in an existing record (only non-key fields are editable). So far so good, it works.
I'm doing a validation of entered data in the event DATA_CHANGED. In this event I'm checking if the new record is a duplicate combination of existing key fields. If yes, then all fields of the new record are reported as error with ADD_PROTOCOL_ENTRY method. This removes all entries related to this row from MT_GOOD_CELLS table and this is ok for me.
My problem: after validation ALV inserts such empty row in my internal table and next time, when the user makes a correction, this record is an update and not a new record (there is no entry in MT_INSERTED_ROWS).
Question: Is there a possibility to avoid ALV inserting a new record when all its cells are bad?
Regards,
Annie
