Issue in setting layout variant in ALV tables

Hi,

I have 2 ALV’s displaying in a view, 1’st is a header data & 2’nd Item data.

Based on the row selection in the Header ALV, the data is determined and displayed in the 2’nd ALV i.e., the Item data.

Now the 2’nd ALV (Item data) can contain 20 columns so based on certain requirement I want to save a layout variant with only 10 Columns for display in the 2’nd ALV.

But the issue what is happening is once I change my row selection in the 1’st ALV (Header data) the layout in the second ALV is refreshing back to the 20 fields EVEN though the name of the variant layout still displays the one I saved earlier.

I have searched the SCN for this issue and found http://scn.sap.com/thread/1986147, but it does NOT work.

Could anyone please suggest a solution.

Thanks & Regards,
