Simple ALV Grid Report

The SAP system contains a lot of data like purchasing, production, warehouse,
accounting, financial, employee data etc. We always need to retrieve those data to
review, maintain and analyze as well. In the classical report we use formatting option to
have an output i.e. WRITE statement. Now SAP system provides us ALV (ALV List
Viewer) report option by which we can generate smarter output.
The ALV report looks far better than a classical one. We can generate the spreadsheet
(excel) from the output of ALV. We can do many other operations like SUM, AVG etc. at
the output screen without any coding of the main program. In ALV report we have to
declare the function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY in which we just need to
pass the final output table, field catalog table, event table (at the time of interactive
report), layout structure and program name. There are many other options which we
can pass to that function module to make our ALV report enriched.
We have to call a dictionary type pool SLIS. It contains all type of declaration to
generate an ALV report. We use slis_fieldcat_alv for field catalog work area and
slis_t_fieldcat_alv for field catalog internal table. In the below example we have shown
how to populate this internal table by appending one by one information.
Now to populate the layout we use slis_layout_alv structure. After populating with
required fields we pass this to the ALV grid function module.
Similarly we use top of page work area by slis_listheader structure and internal table by
slis_t_listheader. In ALV grid we call another function module to populate the top of
page and that is REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE. We need to pass the internal
table to populate the top of page in this function module. Here the top of page
subroutine is needed to pass to ALV grid function module.
Another mandatory data is the program name (SY-REPID) is needed to pass to the ALV
grid. In this way we can generate an ALV grid report which is basically more user
friendly to produce large volume of data. Here we have demonstrated a very simple
example of ALV grid report with having the output coming from only one table.
