SALV key fields?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a question regarding key fields in SALVs

I have an internal table and would like to show the contents in an SALV.

The table is defined from a view that I have created.

When I display the SALV all the columns seem to be key columns so all the columns look 'highlight' for want of a better word.

Is there a way I can set all the columns so they are not viewed as keys, this would make reading the SALV output much easier and I could then for example used the set_striped_pattern method.

Also if I can do this will this acutally change the settings in the initial internal table of just in the SALV

Any help would be great.

Thanking you in advance

Explore the use of class method CL_SALV_COLUMN_TABLE->SET_KEY. There are enough information available in forums & wiki contents regarding different SALV functionalities.

Hello Vinod,

I'm on release 701 & i don't see the method SET_KEY( ) in the class CL_SALV_COLUMN_TABLE!

My bad, its in class CL_SALV_COLUMN_LIST. I tried this way.

DATA : lr_columns TYPE REF TO cl_salv_columns_table,
            lt_col_list TYPE salv_t_column_ref,
            ls_col_list TYPE salv_s_column_ref,
            lr_column   TYPE REF TO cl_salv_column_table.

            lr_columns = lr_table->get_columns( ).
            lt_col_list = lr_columns->get( ).

            LOOP AT lt_col_list INTO ls_col_list.
             TRY.
                lr_column ?= lr_columns->get_column( columnname = ls_col_list-columnname ).
                lr_column->set_key(
                  EXPORTING
                      value  = ' ' ).
              CATCH cx_salv_not_found .
            ENDTRY.
      ENDLOOP.

Hello Vinod,

I was looking in the CL_SALV_COLUMNS_TABLE class

Sorry for the confusion!

This is the code that worked for me.

    DATA: lo_salv             TYPE REF TO cl_salv_table,
          lo_columns          TYPE REF TO cl_salv_columns_table,
          lo_column           TYPE REF TO cl_salv_column_table,
          lo_display_settings TYPE REF TO cl_salv_display_settings.
" END OF local data declaration
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*

    IF lo_salv IS INITIAL.
    " No SALV object created then create the object.
        TRY.
            cl_salv_table=>factory( IMPORTING r_salv_table = lo_salv
                                    CHANGING t_table = i_mrp_v_mdel ).
        CATCH cx_salv_msg .
        ENDTRY.
    ENDIF. " No SALV object created then create the object.

    lo_columns = lo_salv->get_columns( ). " Get columns from SALV

    lo_column ?= lo_columns->get_column( 'MANDT' ). " Get the MANDT/Client column
    lo_column->set_visible( C_FALSE ).              " And make it invisible

    lo_column ?= lo_columns->get_column( 'EKORG' ). " Get the EKO column
    lo_column->set_key( C_FALSE ).                  " And make it a 'normal' column
