Dropdown Lists stopped working in Hana 2023

Hi,
I tried to find out but not sure why.

This code is used for the first columns (others are equivalent):

This is our basis release

Hi,
Can you look on the method set_drdn_hndl? It was updated some time ago to have some default values. If you have updated the FALV lately it could have some impact here.

[jani80k]

Yes, if I go back to the old version, it works.

[fidley]

Ok so I need to adapt the code so the old way is default for the backward compatibility.
Can you please check if in the newest version after changes of IV_USER_DOMAIN_VALUES and IV_USE_ALIAS to be defaulty as space, it works as previously?

[jani80k]

This is how I get it to work. It has nothing to do with the default values.

The reason is that it_drop_down_alias now needs to contain values, otherwise lt_drop_down_alias will be empty. what is the purpose of lt_drop_down_alias?
Before the change it was enough to use the SAP standard method set_drop_down_table to fill m_dropdown_aliases of the SAP standard ALV class.

@RTagliento can you explain?
As per my understanding the change was done to add it in falv and forget about standard, but I may be wrong. Also default values from the domain were added here, but all parameters beside iv_value would be empty, then it should work like in the past.

Hi all,
the column table 'DELORPU' has a data element with a domain that has a list of fix values?

If yes with the method 'SET_DRDN_HNDL' will be associated to that handle name the list of fix values of the domain, if you want a different list of values pass the parameter "IV_USE_DOMAIN_VALUES" equal blank.. ' ' space.

This beacuse I set that via default always try to use the domain values, infact at the end of the method SET_DRDN_HNDL is called set_drop_down_table method

and set_drop_down_table has as input

[jani80k]

No domain values for those fields in my case.
Before the change this worked:

Now I have to do this:

I think it's better now because no need to call "set_drop_down_table" anymore.
For me it is not a problem at all that this is not working like before.

[fidley]

But it can be problems for others when they upgrade and the current functionality is broken.
Let me think about it :)

[jani80k]

I am not even sure if I used it correctly or if it was just working accidentaly. I remember I was just doing trial and error until it worked.
@fidley: Does your program ZDEMO_FALV26 still work with the new logic? I am getting a short dump because some function module is missing. When I look at the code of your report, it should also have stopped working because you are doing similar calls.

[fidley]

ZDEMO_FALV26 is not working with current state of the DRDN_HNDL but I already found solution.... I will commit soon

[fidley]

demo 26 and previous version code should work ok as far as there is no domain value behind.
Question if the IV_USE_DOMAIN_VALUE shoudl be default remains open for now
