ALV - Description values in filter tab

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have ALV table and in some columns instead of its real value (code) I want to display the description. I have implemented it using set_attribute_value_set and the table shows it correctly. The problem appears when I go to Setting and Filter tab. Here again I see the code values, not the descriptions. Could you please give me some tips how to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Anna,

What you have done is correct. I don't know why it is displaying the Code instead of Values. I think internally it will be proceed thorugh the Code value only not with description. Filtering the values thorugh description is not possible. That is not technical also. If you strictly want to filter with description then do the reverse coding like take the filde which holds the description and do the filter . do the remainin logic internally when this description comes this codes has to be stored in the temp field.

I think this will solve your problme.

Warm Regads,
