Traffic Light in ALV Reports

Many a times we have to display a traffic light in ALV report. We can do that easily using "Exceptions" parameter provided by SAP. But it has one drawback, we cannot change the column header to something meaningful. It always set as "Exception" in case of ALV Grid and an icon in case of ALV List.

Here I'll show a workaround to show the traffic lights with a meaningful column header.

The exception display:


















The workaround is to use a field of type CHAR4 and display it as Icon.
To display a field as icon, in ALV Field catalog we have to mark ICON field as 'X'. The icons for traffic lights are : icon_green_light, icon_red_light and icon_yellow_light.
