SALV Table 16 – Static Filters

By | October 4, 2011 | SALV Table, SALV Tutorial, Tutorials | 7,070 | 1

While writing the last post, SALV Table 15 – Show Count of Displayed Rows, I remembered that I wrote an interesting piece of code to solve the unique requirement – Static Filters on the ALV.

The trick here is to save the Filter after applying it for the first time and check for the filter changes or deletion in the event handler of the AFTER_SALV_FUNCTION. If the filter is not the same as what we have applied initially, will put back the filter again. Thus we are setting the Static filter.

Here is the code snippet which shows how to apply this trick:

Output of the program:

Here the output doesn’t show much of the program’s action. You may want to test it out and see how it is going ..!
