Hi,

How are you viewing the contents of the UNIX file? If you are viewing it in AL11 transaction, then maybe the data is there in the file but you cannot view it. Please confirm that.

Also, do you want to reduce a field catalog only during download or even during display??

Please explain your scenario much in detail..

Regards,

Hi,

Use FIELD-SYMBOS in declaring field catalog.

Ex:-

DATA : itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF zmara, "Output table

i_fieldcat TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF lvc_s_fcat, "Field catalog

FIELD-SYMBOLS : <fs_fieldcat> TYPE lvc_s_fcat.

LOOP AT i_fieldcat ASSIGNING <fs_fieldcat>.

CASE <fs_fieldcat>-fieldname.

WHEN 'ERSDA'.

  • Making a column as Editable

<fs_fieldcat>-edit = 'X'.

WHEN 'ERNAM'.

  • Making a column as Editable

<fs_fieldcat>-edit = 'X'.

ENDCASE.

ENDLOOP.
