cl_gui_alv_grid - I get a blank screen

[Former Member]

I seem to be having a problem with my screen. The issue is that I am using cl_gui_alv_grid to display an ALV. However, I call set_table_for_first_display, I get a blank screen. I have verified that I have data in the field cat, outtab, and sort tables. Any ideas?

I believe the problem may be that I don't have the container in the attributes list of the screen. I am not sure why it isn't there.

Please check whether you created the custom container in screen 2000 as CCONTAINER?

I did, if this is what you mean:

MODULE CREATE_OBJ OUTPUT.
  IF g_custom_container IS INITIAL.
    CREATE object g_custom_container
    EXPORTING
      container_name = 'CCONTAINER'.
 
    CREATE object grid
    EXPORTING
      i_parent = g_custom_container.
 
    CREATE object g_handler.
 
    SET HANDLER g_handler->top_of_page FOR grid.
 
  ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.                 " CREATE_OBJ  OUTPUT

in screen painter of screen 2000 and go layout and create a custom container and name it as CCONTAINER

Oh, shoot, OK. Thanks. This is my first time using the ALV with a container/screen.

Thanks!
