ALV Grid: Display Text instead of Value

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

I am developing several ALV grids to display information with custom values which have custom domains. These domains do have a fixed list of allowed values. These values have corresponding texts (which can be found in table DD07T).

I now want an ALV grid to display this text instead of the actual value. Is there a simple way to do this? I know I can create a second structure for the ALV grid which contains a text field instead of the value field and manually fill it, but thats kind of time consuming for lots of grids. Perhaps there is a way to tell the fieldcatalogue to read the actual value from the domain.

Thanks and regards,

For those who have a similar issue: I figured out how to solve this with a custom conversion routine. It created a routine which converts the stored values to the one it want to display and modified the field catalog in the following way:

  DATA:
    lt_fcat     TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv WITH HEADER LINE.

* Build field catalog
  CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
    EXPORTING
      i_structure_name       = 'Z_STRUCTURE_ONE'
    CHANGING
      ct_fieldcat            = lt_fcat[]
    EXCEPTIONS
      inconsistent_interface = 1
      program_error          = 2
      OTHERS                 = 3.

* Modify field catalog (edit masks)
  LOOP AT lt_fcat.
    CASE lt_fcat-fieldname.
      WHEN 'STATUS'.
        lt_fcat-edit_mask = '==ZCV01'.
        lt_fcat-outputlen = 15.
        MODIFY lt_fcat INDEX sy-tabix.
    ENDCASE.
  ENDLOOP.
