Attn Sandra/Vicenc - have reformatted the relevant part of code as below, trust it will be more helpful. ERP 6.0 EHP7 system.

METHOD SET_LAYOUT.
DATA: LAYOUT TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_LAYOUT,
LAYOUT_KEY TYPE REF TO SALV_S_LAYOUT_KEY.
LAYOUT = ALV_TABLE_OBJECT->GET_LAYOUT ( ).
LAYOUT_KEY-REPORT = SY-REPID.
LAYOUT->SET_KEY(LAYOUT_KEY).
LAYOUT->SET_SAVE_RESTRICTION(IF_SALV_C_LAYOUT=>RESTRICT_NONE).
ENDMETHOD.

Syntax Error for Program ZRS_ALV3 (ref line highlighted above)

Error Type

Description

Error

The data object “LAYOUT_KEY” has no structure and therefore no component called “REPORT”

as Vicenc there seems to be a type ref problem in the highlighted statement as "SALV_S_LAYOUT_KEY." has 3 components name as below but these are not being transferred to "LAYOUT_KEY". Will be very grateful for your help thanks:

REPORT

HANDLE

LOGICAL_GROUP

I am working on the ALV examples given in the SAP Press Book - "ABAP - An Introduction" by Brian O'Neill and Jelena Perfiljeva

apologies the formatting of the error message has become garbled above, below picture may be more helpful

Sorry but good formatting is as follows:

  METHOD SET_LAYOUT.
    DATA: LAYOUT TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_LAYOUT,
    LAYOUT_KEY TYPE REF TO SALV_S_LAYOUT_KEY.
    LAYOUT = ALV_TABLE_OBJECT->GET_LAYOUT( ).
    LAYOUT->SET_KEY(LAYOUT_KEY).
    LAYOUT->SET_SAVE_RESTRICTION(IF_SALV_C_LAYOUT=>RESTRICT_NONE).
  ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
