ABAP Code Sample for Data Browser Using ALV Grid

Summary :
Here is a code sample that performs the operation similar to Data Browser.
This adopts the simplest way to display any table from Data Dictionary and
the data of any table can be edited right from ALV Grid itself.

Some of the concepts that can be learnt from this code samples are
a. Creating ALV grid (for Displaying as well as editing Data).
b. Generating Field Catalog Automatically.
c. Creating Dynamic internal Table.
d. Moving buttons to the ALV tool-bar & Creating Event-Handlers.
