CHANGE TEXT ALIGNMENT OF COLUMN IN Object Oriented ALV ( OO ALV )

CHANGE TEXT ALIGNMENT OF COLUMN IN Object Oriented ALV ( OO ALV )

In this SAP ABAP tutorial I will show you how to  change the alignment of text of particular column or columns in Object Oriented ALV ( OO ALV ) .

Programmatically now you can change the text alignment on three possibilities :

1.Left aligned.

2.Centered.

3.Right aligned.

N.B : By default numericals values are right aligned and words are left aligned.Now , we can change this

 according to our own taste.

In order to do this we need to call the SET_ALIGNMENT method of class CL_SALV_COLUMN .

Please refer to the following source codes :
