Basis Errors and Solutions

Symptom

You have a Web Dynpro (WD) ABAP ALV list in which cell variants are used for one or more columns. When you create a print version, the system does not display the information for these columns that is displayed in the Web Dynpro ABAP ALV list.
ALV cannot include columns that contain cell-based information in the print version.
Implementing this note ensures that these columns are no longer exported.

Reason and Prerequisites

Columns that contain cell variants are no longer exported to the print version. The system issues a warning message for each affected column.

Exception:
Certain applications, for example, SRM 6.0 Support Package 02 (Note 1048612), require a certain SAP NetWeaver Support Package. You must check for these prerequisites before you import the specified SAP NetWeaver Support Package.

In urgent cases, you can implement the correction instructions as an advance correction.
Before you do this, see Note 875986 for information about transaction SNOTE.
Before you implement the advance correction (if it is available and you want to implement it), see Note 875986. It contains current corrections that refer to the SAP Note Assistant and prevent problems during an import. After you implement the composite SAP Note, you must call transaction SNOTE again.
