Question:
Has anyone bumped into one of the new ALV grids, the ones which can be modified using BAdI implementation?
I managed to slightly alter a grid, but not something impressive. Sorting, coloring, filtering and stuff that can be done via "change variant" button.
I'm struggling now to alter the output, to display, for instance, instead of one-char fields (X, space), some icons with tooltips. But I can't get past The Mighty Dumps. Yet.

Answer:
Thanks, I had already googled myself into it, but the article itself does not contain what I'm interested and also I had not bothered to read the comments.
Now I've just read them and I'm positive I can't do what I want: modify the output data, adding new fields (original ideea: I have a table with indicators, X or space, and instead of the plain characters, I want icons to be displayed).
But since I can't modify the structure of ct_outtab, I can't add fields. Nor modify the data type of existing ones.
So these BAdI-enabled ALV's are not quite so powerfull as I initially thought.
I have found an workaround, but it works only when the table is based on a DDIC structure, which, most preferably for performance's sake, is not so common (append structure).
