I - INTERFACE - CHECK of ALV FM(S) Must Contain X'

This document discusses enabling an ALV interface check in ABAP to identify any errors or inconsistencies in the interface parameters passed between programs. The check is enabled by setting the interface parameter I_INTERFACE_CHECK of the ALV function module to 'X'. This will display additional screens to show any warnings or error messages before presenting the final ALV output. It is recommended to perform this check during development to troubleshoot any issues before delivering the final code.

ALV interface check

By Joyjit Ghosh, IBM India

In ALV we have an option to check the interface parameters, which we are passing from our program.
This check will identify any problem(s) that may occur during calling the ALV FM or ALV class method. It
is advisable to perform this check before formal submission of the code to avoid any inconsistency that
can lead to problem(s), even program termination in worst case. To enable this check interface parameter
I_INTERFACE_CHECK of ALV FM(s) must contain ‘X’.

Example:

Selection screen:

Output:

Additional screen (before showing the final output) to show the error or warning or success
message(s) 

Also various buttons are present on the application tool bar to check contents of Fieldcatalog, 
Layout, Sort, Filter, Events, Variant, and Special Fieldgroup. 

Fieldcatalog:
 

Layout:

Sort:

Filter:

Event:

Variant:
 

Field group:

From the initial screen if we press back button then it will display the final output. 

Final output:

Note:

1. Always remember to switch off this check before formal code delivery otherwise these extra screen(s)
can confuse the end user.
2. In ECC 5.0, I have seen that this check does not work with FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, in that
case we need to convert grid to list temporarily to implement this check.
