Context

The attributes of displayed fields (for example, headers or formats) are taken from the ABAP Dictionary whenever possible. For different reasons, these attributes may have to be changed later if the information from the ABAP Dictionary is not sufficient or appropriate for the list view. For example, a different header for the list may be required.

Interface/methods: IF_SALV_GUI_FIELD_CATALOG_IDA. This interface provides a range of methods with which various fields of the field catalog can be edited.

Setting Unique Line Keys

If you want to display data records that have no database key in the ABAP Dictionary, a unique key for each row of the data record can be defined. A unique key is required for selecting lines.
