ALV table headers not changing, why?

[vishal_boyro3]

Hello everyone,

I am having a problem with ALV headers. The ALV is referenced to a DDIC structure for its internal table data and ALV take the standard description of the different data elements.

I tried to use the SET_TEXT method of the CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER class (ofcourse after reading the header form the ALV config table) but the value aint changing on the display. When I debug the method the internal attribute TEXT of the object is correct set to my defined description but I dont see this updated value on the output.

Am I missing some refresh statements or something else?

Thank you for your advices,

Vishal

Instead of calling get_header on the column, you can use the create_header method and directly call set_text on the reference. It will work.

Hi Vishal,

try to do this:

Data:

lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column,

lr_column_header TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column_header.

lr_column->delete_header( ).

lr_column_header = lr_column->create_header( ).

lr_column_header->set_ddic_binding_field( if_salv_wd_c_column_settings=>ddic_bind_none ).

lr_column_header->set_text( 'Your Text' ).

It should work

Hi Vishal,

As well as setting the new column header value, you also have to tell the ALV control to ignore the default data dictionary value

e.g.

lr_colhead->set_ddic_binding_field( '00' ).

(where lr_colhead is your column header object ref.)

Hope this solves it!
