*ALV Reports*

BY ----Arjun
 Review

ALV Reports are mainly used to display the data in the form of either
Grid or List Format with good Look and Feel.

The main advantages of ALV Reports are:

1. Good Look and Feel

[Link] options given by SAP like

Asc, Desc,

Filtering,

Downloading,

Changing Layout,

sending Mail…..etc

 ALV Reports By ARJUN

Function modules for developing ALV Reports

REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY  Display ALV data in GRID format

REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE  Display TOP-OF-PAGE,

LOGO,END-OF-LIST.

REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATELOG_MERGE Generate field catalog

automatically

REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET  Display ALV Events

REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY Display hierarchical ALV

REUSE_ALV_BLOCKED_LIST_DISPLAY  Display blocked ALV

 FieldCatelog: It is an [Link] which contains the list o the fields
along with field properties to be displayed in ALV Report

The properties/options are:

1. COL_POS = 1.

2. FIELD NAME Specifies the name of the field

3. TABLE NAME Specifies the name of the internal table

4. SELTEXT_S  Specifies short

SELTEXT_L  Specifies Long

SELTEXT_M  Specifies medium

 5. DO_SUM = „X‟  For grand totals

6. SUBTOT = „X‟  Sub totals to be calculated

7. EDIT = „X‟  Field can be editable

8. EMPHASIZE = „CXYZ‟  Specifies the Color to the fields

C – Indicates color

X – Color Numbers

Y – Backgroundcolor – 1 On BG color

0 off BG color

Z – Font color 1 OnFont color

0 Off font color

REFERENCE FIELDNAME  To copy all the properties

from data dictionary to a

10. KEY  Specify the key field

11. HOTSPOT  For selection

12. NO_OUT  Field will not be displayed in output

Generation of Fieldcatelog :

It is generated using 2 ways.

1)Manually

2)Automatically by using FM

Declare the internal table and work area for the field catalog

DATA : i_fcat TYPE slis_t_fieldcat_alv.

*DATA : wa_fcat TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv.
DATA : wa_fcat like LINE OF i_fcat.

properties.

ALV with field catalog merge

We can create a field catalog either manually or by automatically

REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATELOG_MERGE is the function module which is

used to create field catalog automatically

But this is obsolete because, the function module uses the old syntax for
declaring internal tables

I.e. the internal table should be created as below and all the fields
in the internal table must be declared using LIKE statement not the TYPE
statement.

Example1 on FCAT using Internal table

DATA: BEGIN OF I_MARA OCCURS 0,

MTART LIKE MARA-MTART,
MEINS LIKE MARA-MEINS,

 ALV with Layout
Layout

It is a structure or work area which is used to decorate or embellish

the output of ALV Report

Layout contains the few properties to decorate the ALV output

The properties are,

1. ZEEBRA = „X‟.  Displays ALV with alternative colors

2. COLWIDTH-OPTIMIZE = „X‟.  Each column in ALV o/p

displayed with maximum length, to display the entire data.

3. EDIT= „X‟. All the columns are displayed in editable mode.

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 20
 4. NO_VLINE = „X‟.  Vertical lines will not be displayed

5. NO_HLINE = „X‟.  Horizontal lines will not be displayed

Steps:

Declare a work area for the Layout

DATA : wa_layout TYPE slis_layout_alv.

Fill the WA with various options.

wa_layout-zebra = 'X'.
wa_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
* wa_layout-edit = 'X'.
* wa_layout-no_vline = 'X'.
wa_layout-no_hline = 'X'.

 ALV Reports with Totals

The totals can be calculated in two ways

By clicking on ∑ ALV output field.

By programmatically setting the option

DO_SUM = „X‟, for an currency/quantity field in FCAT

WA_FCAT-COL_POS = ‟5‟.
WA_FCAT-FIELDNAME = 'NETWR'.
WA_FCAT-SELTEXT_M = 'NETPRICE„.

 ALV WITH SUBTOTALS

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 25
 ALV Reports with and sub totals

To calculate sub totals, we need to find out on what basis (field

name) the sub totals need to be calculated.

We need to sort the field in ascending order.

Then we need to set the property

SUBTOT = „X‟ in FCAT.

WA_SORT-spos = „1‟.

WA_SORT-FIELDNAME = 'VBELN'.
WA_SORT-UP = 'X'.
WA_SORT-SUBTOT = 'X'.
APPEND WA_SORT TO I_SORT.

 SAP AG 2001, Smart Forms - the Form Printing Solution,

Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 26
 Steps :

Declare the internal table and work area for the sorting

DATA : I_SORT TYPE SLIS_T_SORTINFO_ALV.

Specify the field and subtot = „X‟ .

WA_SORT-FIELDNAME = 'VBELN'.

The function module REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET will display all the

list of ALV events

Below are some events

Top-Of-Page End-Of-List

At User command Set PF status

If we want to use any event, then we should create a Subroutine for
