Using Totals and Subtotals Feature of ALV Component in WD4A

Introduction
SAP List Viewer (ALV) is a flexible tool used to display data in a tabular format. The tool provides common list operations as standard functions and can be enhanced by self-defined options. As the developer of the application, we have various methods at our disposal to define the appearance, function, and run-time behavior of this ALV output. One such behavior which most developers have to define is Summing up the numeric columns based on some parameter like Currency. In this particular article well see how an ALV can be configured by code to create Total and Subtotal Rows based on user requirements. Well be using data of SFLIGHT table and well be displaying total of Ticket Prices based on Ticket Currency Getting Started Create a sample web dynpro component (lets say ZTEST_ALV). Add a view to it (ALV_VIEW). In view ALV_VIEW create a view container UI element and assign a name to it (lets say ALV_CONT) Create a window (ALV_WINDOW) and embed ALV_VIEW to this window. Create a web dynpro application (ZTEST_WDA_ALV) for this newly created component ZTEST_ALV and mention Interface View as ALV_WINDOW and plug name as DEFAULT. Create a node in component controller named as TABLE_DATA with Dictionary Structure as SFLIGHT and cardinality as 0...n. Transfer all table columns in SFLIGHT so as to create attributes for node. To fill data weve created method FILL_DATA which selects all data from SFLIGHT and then we bind this fetched data to node TABLE_DATA. Call the method FILL_DATA in WDDOINIT of component controller. Following is the code for FILL_DATA method

method FILL_DATA . DATA lo_nd_table_data TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node. DATA lt_table_data TYPE wd_this->Elements_table_data.

* get node reference

lo_nd_table_data = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_table_data ).

* select all data from SFLIGHT

select * from sflight into table lt_table_data.

* bind data to node

lo_nd_table_data>bind_table( new_items = lt_table_data set_initial_elements = abap_true ). endmethod.

Creating ALV Component Usage With basic customizing in place, next step would be to create a Component Usage for ALV. First well be defining a component usage for the ALV component SALV_WD_TABLE in our application component. For this go to your component ZTEST_ALV and in Used Components tab click on + button to create a component usage for type SALV_WD_TABLE. Give a name to your component usage under Component Use column (lets say MY_ALV).

Defining Usage of ALV Component Now we have to define the usage of this component in the properties of our view (ALV_VIEW). For this click on ALV_VIEW and in Properties tab under Used Controllers/ Components section click on Create button to select entries related to our defined component usage MY_ALV.

Defining Usage of MY_ALV component in View Once the component use is defined for view, next step would be to embed the ALV view into windows view container UI element. For this go to Window ALV_WINDOW and right click on view

container UI element (ALV_CONT) to embed a view. Select declared ALV component MY_ALV and with View\ Interface View entry as TABLE

Binding Data to ALV To bind the data to ALV, click on Component Usages and select our used ALV component MY_ALV and expand it to view INTERFACECONTROLLER_USAGE node. To bind the data to ALV, drag the node TABLE_DATA from component controller and map it to DATA node of ALV context. This action will map the data from component controller context node to ALV Interface controller context node DATA.

Binding Data to ALV Creating Subtotals for ALV Once the data is bound, next step is to configure the ALV for creating subtotals. For this create a method named as CREATE_SUBTOTAL and call it inside view WDDOINIT method. Inside CREATE_SUBTOTAL well be writing the code for creating subtotal of Price column based on Currency. Following are the steps performed in CREATE_SUBTOTAL method Getting the instance of ALV Getting all columns Looping at columns and declaring aggregation rule for PRICE column. For creating subtotal based on Currency create a sort rule for currency column.
