Field catalog is one of most important tables that is used in ALV Grid. In most cases you’ll create it manually or at least after automatic creation, you’ll update its content, as most of the columns settings are placed here. ALV Grid field catalog should have type LVC_T_FCAT. Of course as it’s not mandatory parameter you can also omit during the displaying on grid (like I did for example in program ZDEMO_AIN_CL01), but this is only allowed if the table you would like to display is of type that is kept in dictionary. In other case, you’ll be forced to create the field catalog and pass it as parameter to SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY method.
In table below you’ll find the list of all fields used in field catalog with its dictionary type and description. Some of the fields are quite simple to explain, some are harder, but bellow you’ll find description of all of them, whenever it was possible by me to check their behaviour. Click on the link on the field name (if exists) to get the deeper description and example of usage.
