Hi experts,

I was looking, how to create a eldcatalog using internal table, if we use fm 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE' it will create a eldcat with all the elds from the dbtable to which
internal table ref to. Also tell me how to create automatic fcat for two tables.

Thanks,

Anna.

I think you can use class CL_SALV_TABLE
2Fquestions%2F7769643%2Fcreating- eldcat-using-and its methods to create FCAT using internal table.

lo_columns = lo_salv_table->get_columns( ).

rt_fcat =

You may use the code in a FORM routine or directly in program, not necessary to use a method.

You can go for SALV Display which doesnt need any eldcat to be populated.

The function LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
2Fquestions%2F7769643%2Fcreating- eldcat-using- generate eldcatalog for all elds always, so if you need less elds try delete not required elds or (my personal choice)
childToView%3D7769623%23answer-
_data%3D7769623%26s_csrf%3D1615366042567.4812)
generate the eldcatalog manually.

if you need merge two tables in one catalog, try generate a table catalog for each table and then append second table to rst one.

I hope this help,

Best regards,

X.S.

rst you need to de ne the eldcatlog
2Fquestions%2F7769643%2Fcreating- table as below.

childToView%3D7770673%23answer-
_data%3D7770673%26s_csrf%3D1615366042567.4812)

DATA: I_FCAT TYPE LVC_T_FCAT,

WA_FCAT TYPE LVC_S_FCAT.

Suppose you have 2 internal tables itab and itab1

then create the subroutine as below.

FORM FIELD_CATLOG.

CLEAR WA_FCAT.

WA_FCAT-TABNAME = 'ITAB'. "INT. TABLE NAME.

WA_FCAT-COL_POS = '1'. " COLUMN POSITION.

WA_FCAT-FIELDNAME = 'EMP_ID'. "FIELD NAME.

WA_FCAT-REPTEXT = 'EMPLOYEE ID'. "COLUMN HEADING.

WA_FCAT-HOTSPOT = 'X'.

APPEND WA_FCAT TO I_FCAT.

CLEAR WA_FCAT.

WA_FCAT-TABNAME = 'ITAB1'. "INT. TABLE NAME.

WA_FCAT-COL_POS = '2'. " COLUMN POSITION.

WA_FCAT-FIELDNAME = 'LAST_NAME'. "FIELD NAME.

WA_FCAT-REPTEXT = 'LAST NAME'. "COLUMN HEADING.

WA_FCAT-HOTSPOT = 'X'.

APPEND WA_FCAT TO I_FCAT.

CLEAR WA_FCAT.
Endform.

In above code mention the table names in TABNAME eld which identi es which eld to refer from which table.

like at 1 column eld emp_id from table itab and at column 2 last_name from table itab1.

But make sure before that your tables itab and itab1 must have data.

Thanks
