Providing Standard ALV Functions 

You can choose from various procedures to provide users with a standard ALV function:

●      Show Standard ALV Function

The type for the UI element and the label used are taken from the default setting. Depending on the standard ALV function, the UI element is displayed in the Settings dialog box or in the toolbar.

You specify which standard ALV functions are to be available to the user by providing the UI elements for the relevant standard function.

●      Providing Alternative Functions in the Toolbar

If you want the UI element in the toolbar to have a different type or label than the standard setting, allow use of the standard ALV function but hide the corresponding UI element. Then generate a user-defined function and assign the required standard ALV function to it.

Showing Standard ALV Functions

If you use the ALV configuration model, the objects for all standard ALV functions are created automatically. You only need to specify which standard ALV functions are to be available for the user by permitting use of the relevant functions.

By default, all standard ALV functions are shown; exceptions to this are those functions required for calculations (including intermediate results) and for the editable ALV.

You can find the required methods in interface class IF_SALV_WD_STD_FUNCTIONS (implementing class CL_SALV_WD_CONFIG_TABLE). All these methods contain parameter VALUE of type ABAP_BOOL.

You can replace the following UI elements for standard ALV functions in this way:

●      Send dropdown list box and individual entries in the dropdown list box

●      Display As dropdown list box and individual entries in the dropdown list box

●      Insert Row, Append Row, and Delete Row pushbuttons

●      Filter pushbutton and the Define Filter and Delete Filter functions

●      Settings pushbutton and the Open Settings Dialog Box and Close Settings Dialog Box functions

●      Views dropdown list box

To assign a standard ALV function to a self-defined function, you use the methods of class CL_SALV_WD_FUNCTION.

Making System Settings for Exporting to the BEx Analyzer

If you want to make it possible to export the ALV output for your application to the BEx Analyzer, it is not sufficient to show the standard ALV functions as described above. To do this, the following prerequisites must also be met:

●      Ensure that a BI system is installed. This means that the BEx Analyzer is also available.

●      In SAP NetWeaver Customizing, execute IMG activity System-Wide Settings for the Web Dynpro ALV under Application Server ® Web Dynpro for ABAP

Deselect the Hide BEx Analyzer Export Function indicator.
