Table Control with Uploading from Clip Board

Sometimes we just need to copy & paste a lot of records into table control. Now table control lines are specific (say 13 lines) as per design level. If we want to paste more lines (say 100) into this table control then it will not happen. In this case the system will paste only first 13 lines into the table control which is visible though the copy is there (RAM). At this point we need to paste total 100 lines into that table control.

We cannot achieve this by just paste (ctrl + v) option. Here we create a button by which we shall achieve this purpose. This button functions exactly like ‘Upload from Clip Board’ which is standard. Here we need to call method: cl_gui_frontend_services=>clipboard_import

This method generates an internal table which contains the total copy data. If we select only one field then the table will have only one field. If we select more than one field then internal table will have more than one field. Hence the table structure depends on the selected copy.

In the following example we just create a table control.

ENDFORM.

Here we have generated the internal table by that method and then populate the table control’s internal table. To avoid duplicate entries we just clear the OK code inside there.

Now create a T-code and execute it. The table control will look like follows. We have created an upload button to copy from clipboard. In the visible section we have only 13 rows.

Now from excel we have selected 25 rows and copy (ctrl + c) it.

Now go to SAP screen and click on UPLOAD button. The 25 rows have been inserted and only 13 rows are visible because of table control design.

Now we scroll and check whether the purpose got successful or not.
