Question:
Hi,
I have a defined an internal table to hold a 3 dimensional array (account balance by company code by account number). I would like to display this data in an ALV grid.
I have previously been able to generate a field catalog for 2 dimensional internal tables, but have never tackled a 3 dimensionl table before. Can anybody give me any tips? Or sample code for generating the field catalog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mick
Answer:
Mick,
couldn't you just generate an ordinary '2 dimensional' table somehow??
Answer:
Not really. I don't know how many accounts or how many companies I have to deal with until runtime, so declaring the table would be tricky.
Answer:
Quite possibly I am not understanding your requirement/scenario.
But, I believe a 3D table can be easily converted into a 2D table by just adding another column. (If sorted properly, ALV takes care of hiding redundant data in that column.)
I have used 3D tables in the past, but only for convenience. Not because 2D table couldn't do the job.
Please clarify your scenario as I am very interested in knowing the need for a 3D table. You might even get better suggestions from experts on this forum.
