Removing filter in the result table

[Former Member]

Hello Experts!

In a custom search-result screen, after a search, if I use filter on the screen and filter out result values and again perform search, the filter is not getting removed. The subsequent search results are all having the filter. I have to manually go and remove the filter to remove it. Is there a way to clear the filter values at a new search? I tried using the delete_filter method in the result view do_prepare_output method. But the filter is still not getting removed. Please give some suggestions.

Hi Ramanunny,

delete_filter method usually removes all the filter. Have you checked wthr this method is getting called from do_prepare_output or not?

Also note ,while selecting on filter  CL_BSP_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_TV->EH_ON_FILTER( ) method is getting triggered.

Hi Rajarama,

In the do_prepare_output method, i am explicitly writing code to call the method.

  typed_context->result->delete_filter( abap_false ).

  CALL METHOD super->do_prepare_output.

the method is getting called. But filters are not getting cleared.

Hi Heera,

if there is more than one filter on the collection you are using to find the result then you have to use

CALL METHOD lr_col->delete_filter
         EXPORTING
           iv_all = abap_true .

to delete all the filter.

Hello Heera,

The clear button functionality is used for this reason.After completing a search,try "clear" before you enter

the next criteria.

Clear will reset the filters and sorts

Hi Reshma,

I tried clearing the result collection before setting the collection ( as it is done on clear in normal search screens). But the filters are not getting cleared still.

Hi Heera,

I remember we had a problem that the "filter is not getting retained in 7.0 for a fresh search" - which is the functionality you desire.

So as you are saying it is a custom search there is a probability that the filter criteria is being stored and being applied on result every time. Just debug by putting a break point in do_handle_event .

Hi Vinod,

My issue is that filter is not getting cleared. This is a custom search screen. We dont have the actual ' Search' button. We are searching when user clicks 'Enter'.
