Hello folks,
System Information
NW AS 7.03 ABAP Stack 731 Level 8, ECC 606 (EHP 6) with SAP_HR 604 Level 69 and EA_HR 607 (HR-Renewal 1) Level 20
Problem
It has recently come to my attention from a test in our QAS environment that the standard filter function, more exactly the filter line you can toggle via that fancy filter button in the top right corner, Santa's little ALVs (sorry for the poor attempt of a pun) provide us with (Standard Functions of ALV and Presettings - UI Technologies in ABAP - SAP Library) has vanished.
What I've done so far
I've debugged various Standard Applications, including some POWLs (urgh) and custom applications that use the SALV component and monitored the CL_SALV_WD_CONFIG_TABLE portion of the ALV Api only to see that there's no explanation for the filter option not to be there..IF_SALV_WD_STD_FUNCTIONS~FILTER_FILTERLINE_ALLOWED is always abap_true as it should be; also we've never added any coding that would set this option false. I've tried to explicitly override this attribute via IF_SALV_WD_STD_FUNCTIONS~SET_FILTER_FILTERLINE_ALLOWED, although it doesn't make any sense to do so, but nevertheless, just to be sure, didn't help of course. I fail to find the reason for this strange application behavior and I don't really want to blindly import Notes for the unified rendering just to rule that one possible root cause out. The problem persists on all our Systems; DEV, QAS and PROD, whereas the PROD is still on SAP_HR 604 Level 65 and EA_HR 607 Level 16 at the moment. The Note search doesn't return any helpful Notes for these system parameters (except for WD UR, when I loosen my search parameters); I haven't found any helpful SCN threads either.
I feel like I'm overlooking something, does anybody have an idea? :<
Cheers, Lukas
