• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SALV_X_API003 - For all columns based on fieldname &1 the same valueset will be used ?

  The SAP error message SALV_X_API003 indicates that for all columns based on a specific field name, the same value set will be used. This typically occurs when you are working with the SAP ALV (ABAP List Viewer) and trying to display data in a way that requires distinct value sets for different columns, but the system detects that the same value set is being applied to multiple columns.
  Cause:
  
  Field Name Duplication: The error often arises when multiple columns in the ALV grid are based on the same field name or data source, leading to the same value set being applied to those columns.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the ALV grid may not be set up correctly, causing the system to interpret that the same values should be used for different columns.
  Data Source Issues: If the data source for the ALV is not properly defined or if it returns duplicate values for different columns, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Definitions: Review the field definitions in your ALV configuration. Ensure that each column is defined with a unique field name or data source if they are supposed to display different values.
  Modify ALV Configuration: If you are using the CL_GUI_ALV_GRID or similar classes, check the configuration of the field catalog. Make sure that each column is correctly defined and that the field names are not duplicated.
  Use Different Value Sets: If the columns are meant to display different data, ensure that they are pulling from different value sets or data sources. You may need to adjust the underlying data retrieval logic.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the ALV display logic to see how the field catalog is being populated and where the duplication might be occurring.
  
  Related Information:
  
  ALV Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation on ALV for detailed information on configuring field catalogs and handling data display.
