ALV Grid TOP_OF_PAGE Character Limit Fix

This document discusses how to print more than 60 characters in the top-of-page area of an ALV grid, which is normally limited to 60 characters. It proposes using a dynamic document via the CL_DD_DOCUMENT class, which allows HTML formatting. The solution calls a subroutine to generate HTML for the top of page, and passes it to the ALV function module via the I_CALLBACK_HTML_TOP_OF_PAGE parameter instead of triggering the TOP_OF_PAGE event. This overcomes the 60 character limitation by using the HTML viewer control instead.

Problem with ALV Grid Top-of-Page - How to print more than 60 characters?

By Joyjit Ghosh, IBM India


Problem: Normally in ALV grid TOP_OF_PAGE, we cannot display information of more than 60 characters long. This is due to the limitation of the FM REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE. Usually we call this FM from the subroutine that is linked with TOP_OF_PAGE event. CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE' EXPORTING it_list_commentary = i_logo = i_end_of_list_grid = . *"--------------------------------------------------------------*"*"Lokale Schnittstelle: *" IMPORTING *" VALUE(IT_LIST_COMMENTARY) TYPE SLIS_T_LISTHEADER *" REFERENCE(I_LOGO) OPTIONAL *" REFERENCE(I_END_OF_LIST_GRID) OPTIONAL *"-------------------------------------------------------------In this above FM, exporting parameter IT_LIST_COMMENTARY contains a field INFO that is only 60 characters long. And it is responsible for displaying the information in the TOP_OF_PAGE area. Solution: To overcome this limitation we can use dynamic document, which can be implemented through the class CL_DD_DOCUMENT. As dynamic documents use HTML viewer control so instead of triggering the TOP_OF_PAGE event we should trigger event of HTML TOP_OF_PAGE. First create a subroutine for top of page in HTML format and send that name in I_CALLBACK_HTML_TOP_OF_PAGE parameter of ALV function module. The input parameter for this subroutine will be a variable of class CL_DD_DOCUMENT. *-----------------------------------------------------------------* * FORM html_top_of_page * *-----------------------------------------------------------------* FORM html_top_of_page USING top TYPE REF TO cl_dd_document. data: l_text(255) type c. do 180 times. l_text+sy-index(1) = '*'. enddo. CALL METHOD top->add_text EXPORTING text = 'Hello world ' sap_style = 'heading' . CALL METHOD top->add_gap EXPORTING width = 200. CALL METHOD top->add_picture EXPORTING picture_id = 'ENJOYSAP_LOGO'. CALL METHOD top->NEW_LINE( ). CALL METHOD top->add_text EXPORTING text = l_text. ENDFORM. * Display ALV grid CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' EXPORTING

i_callback_html_top_of_page i_callback_program i_structure_name TABLES t_outtab Output:

= 'HTML_TOP_OF_PAGE' = g_repid = 'SFLIGHT' = gt_outtab.

Limitations: As dynamic documents use SAP HTML Viewer control internally, so whatever limitations exist for SAP HTML Viewer, same limitations hold true for dynamic documents also.
