7 ALV Reports

What is SAP ALV?
ALV stands for ABAP List Viewer. ALV gives us a standard List format and user interface to all our ABAP reports.
ALV is created by a set of standard function modules provided by SAP.
ALV provides a lot of inbuilt functions to our reports and some of the functions are listed below.
Sorting of records
Filtering of records
Totals and Sub-totals
Download the report output to Excel/HTML
Changing the order of the columns in the report
Hide the unwanted columns from the report
Because of the above functions, ALV substantially decreases the report development time. ALV takes care of
rendering the list and we can concentrate only on the data retrieval part.
Some of the function modules used to create ALV reports are listed below.

Create a Simple SAP ALV Report

An ALV report is created using the standard function modules provided by SAP.
An ALV report can be created using the following steps.
Include SLIS type pool SLIS type pool contains all the data types required by ALV function modules.
Data retrieval Code the logic to fetch the data from database table into an Internal Table.
Build Field Catalog Add the columns into an internal that you want to display in the ALV output list.
Pass the data table and field catalog table to ALV function module

Field Catalog in SAP ALV

The field catalog is a table which contains information on the fields to be displayed on the ALV output.
First we need to build a field catalog before displaying any output in the ALV. We have the following three ways
to build a field catalog.
Automatically through a Data Dictionary structure.

Manually in ABAP program.
Semi-automatically by combining the above two procedures.
The third option is used in the following cases.
We want to display all the fields from the DDIC structure but want to modify certain attributes like
descriptions etc.
We want to display most of the fields i.e. we want to hide certain fields.
Add new fields.
To generate a field catalog semi-automatically:
Declare an internal table of type SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV.

Call function module REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE and pass the DDIC structure of the
output table and the internal table for the field catalog. The function module generates the field catalog and fills
the internal table accordingly.
Read the rows you want to change, and adapt the fields accordingly. If your output table contains more
fields than are stored in the Data Dictionary, you must append one row for each new field to the field catalog.
Example Program
TYPE-POOLS: slis.
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Data Declaration
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*

SELECT * UP TO 10 ROWS FROM sbook INTO TABLE it_sbook.

*Merge Field Catalog

Display Header in ABAP ALV Grid

To display header in ALV grid use the following steps.
1.
Build the ALV header table.
