Hello Sergio

I do not really understand your question but can give you some advice about creating fieldcatalogs anyway.

Assuming that you have build your fieldcatalog (LVC_T_FCAT) according to a given DDIC structure I would look for another DDIC structure which contains a field you are looking for. Then you append this DDIC field to your fieldcatalog like this:

DATA:
  ls_fcat     TYPE   lvc_s_fcat,
  lt_fcat      TYPE   lvc_t_fcat.


" NOTE: gt_fcat contains the fieldcatalog for your itab except for the missing field/column

    CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
    EXPORTING
*     I_BUFFER_ACTIVE              =
      i_structure_name             = '<name of 2nd DDIC structure'
*     I_CLIENT_NEVER_DISPLAY       = 'X'
      I_BYPASSING_BUFFER           = 'X'  " important here !!!
*     I_INTERNAL_TABNAME           =
    CHANGING
      ct_fieldcat                  = lt_fcat
    EXCEPTIONS
      inconsistent_interface       = 1
      program_error                = 2
      OTHERS                       = 3.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.


  LOOP AT lt_fcat INTO ls_fcat
          WHERE ( fieldname = '<missing field>' ).
    ls_fcat-fieldname = '<new name of additional column>'.

    ls_fcat-scrtext_s = '<new short text>'.
    ls_fcat-scrtext_m = '<new medium text>'.
    ls_fcat-scrtext_l = '<new long text>'.

    APPEND ls_fcat TO gt_fcat.  " add new column to fieldcatalog
  ENDLOOP.

" Finally renumbering of column
  LOOP AT gt_fcat INTO ls_fcat.
    ls_fcat-col_pos = syst-tabix.

    MODIFY gt_fcat FROM ls_fcat INDEX syst-tabix.
  ENDLOOP.
