question regarding extension of table BOPF

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement where the ALV display table on a view has to be extended with additional field.

Now, I checked for the dictionary structure that ALV refers to, and it starts with /PRM/TABLE (namespace basically) and data is populated onto the context of the component controller in the WD component.

When I debug the component controller methods where the data is being populated into the particular nodes, then I find that BOPF (business object processing framework is being used) and when I trace further I get the table names and structure names but they follow differnent namespace i.e. /DMF/TABLE or /DMF/Structure.

So, if I extend those tables or structures, then the changes wont get reflected into the tables or structures referred by the WD component as they both have different namespaces.

WD UI -> WD Component -> /PRM/*    while  BOPF (while debugging or /BOBF/CUST_UI) refers to /DMF/* table or structures.

Could you please throw light here or help me identify how to extend the ALV with additional custom field in this case?

Thanks,
Ravish

I think I got the soln, there is CI (customer include in both the tables from diff namespace), if I include the zfield in the CI, then it gets included in both the tables).
